SKOKIE, IL - October 4, 2006 - Accuity is pleased to announce that
Bottomline Technologies, a leading provider of payments and invoice
automation software and services, has integrated Accuity's IBAN File with
its BankScan International solution. The company's use of Accuity's IBAN
reference data will help ensure the highest possible levels of payment
straight through processing (STP) for customers.

standards and EU regulation 2560/2001, Accuity's IBAN File offers access
