Euronet launches national ATM switch in India

LEAWOOD, KANSAS and MUMBAI, INDIA—May 22, 2003—Euronet Worldwide, Inc. (Nasdaq: EEFT), a leader in electronic payment solutions, announced that it has received approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate a national shared ATM switch with Industrial Development Bank of India (IDBI) Bank as the settlement bank. The network, which will operate under the bank-independent brand Cashnet, is expected to commence operations next month.

Cashnet, India's first nationwide shared ATM switch, will support ATMs for the existing founding member banks: Citibank, IDBI Bank, Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) and Unit Trust of India (UTI) Bank. IDBI Bank will act as the settlement bank for the network. Based on the member banks' existing ATMs, Cashnet will provide access to more than 1,300 ATMs for the more than 6 million debit and credit cardholders of the member banks across more than 100 cities in India. Customers from the member banks can use any ATM in the network. These transactions will be supported by online connections between each bank and the Euronet processing center in Mumbai, thus establishing the first shared ATM network in India to offer end-to-end online transaction processing across the entire network.

"IDBI Bank is pleased with the world-class service that we have experienced with Euronet's ATM outsourcing and prepaid mobile recharge services, and we are eager to enhance our relationship by being the settlement bank for the Cashnet shared ATM network in India," said Mr. Gunit Chadha, IDBI Bank Managing Director and CEO.

The network will be implemented using Euronet's software, which has powered Euronet's European Operations Center for the past eight years, processing more than 7 million transactions a month. The Cashnet switch will process ATM transactions and provide daily settlement between member banks.

Cashnet enables customers to enjoy additional access through an expanded transaction set, allowing for easy access to their financial accounts. The transaction set includes cash withdrawals, fast cash withdrawals, balance inquiries, mini-statements, PIN changes, checkbook requests and ATM recharges, which enable consumers to purchase prepaid airtime for their mobile phone accounts from the ATM.

"Each of our members demonstrates leadership in the India banking market, and they are committed to providing customers with the highest levels of convenience," said Daniel R. Henry, Euronet Worldwide president and COO. "All member banks have expressed their commitment to work with Euronet to expand the member base of the shared ATM network to include other banks in India. The launch of this service further exhibits our commitment to bring the highest quality service and the most advanced transaction set to all Indian banks."
