Press Release - 31 May 2011

Portsmouth, N.H. – May 31, 2011 – Bottomline Technologies (NASDAQ: EPAY), a leading provider of collaborative payment, invoice and document automation solutions, today announced that Standard Life has selected Bottomline to provide SaaS-based connectivity to the SWIFT Network for exchanging financial messages to minimize operational risk, improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Bottomline’s SWIFT Access Service offers connectivity to the SWIFT network, helping corporations and financial institutions to streamline their payments processes and achieve lower costs, improve straight-through processing, tighten security and lessen operational risk in their cash management strategy. As a cloud-based SaaS solution, the platform brings rapid implementation and return on investment without requiring the customer to host software, develop costly internal infrastructure or hire internal SWIFT experts.

A leading long term savings and investments company with approximately 6 million customers around the world, Standard Life leverages the SWIFT network to exchange financial information including payment instructions, cash reporting and other messages related to financial transactions, with their banks and counterparties around the world. Having previously hosted their own SWIFT infrastructure, Standard Life selected Bottomline for their technical expertise and deep understanding of SWIFT connectivity and proven infrastructure.

“We are excited to build upon our long history with Bottomline. For years we have worked with the company’s experienced SWIFT consultants to ensure that our SWIFT operations ran smoothly,” said Scott Innes, technical solutions designer at Standard Life. “We look forward to working with Bottomline as our SWIFT Access Service provider. They not only understand the technical aspects of SWIFT, but have deep expertise in treasury and cash management services, so they know our business challenges − and how to overcome them.”

“Our suite of treasury and cash management solutions, including SWIFT Access Service, helps customers streamline their payments processes, increase efficiency and cut costs,” said Nigel Savory, managing director of Bottomline Technologies, Europe. “We look forward to partnering with Standard Life to help them achieve these initiatives.”
