Dec-09-03



NAPERVILLE, Ill. —US Biometrics, a biometric technology software company based in Naperville, Illinois, received the Best of Show Award from the CUNA Technology Council during the 2003 Bank Administration Institute (BAI) Retail Delivery Conference and Expo in New Orleans, where more than 400 vendors showcased products available to the banking industry.
The Best of Show Award recognizes a company at the BAI's Retail Delivery Conference that has shown extraordinary commitment to providing products designed to enhance credit union technology, and appeal to a wide range of credit unions and their needs, while maintaining an affordable price point.

According to Dan Kinne, a member of the CUNA Technology Council executive committee and vice president of information technology for Silver State Schools CU in Las Vegas, US Biometrics caught the council's attention with its CheckQ(TM), a biometric technology software product that helps credit unions prevent fraud, rather than react to it.

CheckQ(TM) is a fingerprint recognition system that reads current or potential members' fingerprints and compares them to the financial industry's only national shared database. The database contains information about check and other financial activities to guard against fraudulent transactions.

"We are honored to be recognized by CUNA for our technological contributions to the credit union industry," said David Delgrosso, president of US Biometrics. "This commendation further reinforces our company's presence in the industry and the value provided by our biometric technology products."

In addition to CheckQ(TM), US Biometrics offers a suite of products utilizing biometric fingerprint technology to assure accurate authentication and identification of individuals for the financial services, security, corporate, governmental, healthcare, manufacturing, and educational industries.

The suite of biometric solutions also includes VaultQ(TM) - a more secure alternative to traditional card-and-signature safe-deposit box access; AccessQ(TM) - a system that provides businesses a secure and convenient alternative or enhancement to passwords, badges, swipe cards, and PINs to protect against unauthorized access; PassQ(TM) - a biometric mouse or stand alone unit requiring fingerprint identity verification to log into individual computers and networks; and Qrl(TM) - an application using fingerprint biometrics to secure transactions made over the Internet.

Additionally, every cost-effective product in US Biometrics' security solution suite is fully scalable, adapted specifically for business, and compatible with leading business software and operating platforms.
