The Association for Financial Professionals and The Weiland Financial Group Inc. Announce Service Code Licensing Agreement

Bethesda, MD and Lake Bluff, IL – October 18, 2004– The Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) announced today that The Weiland Financial Group, Inc. will include the 2004 AFP Service Codes in its Bank Relationship Manager™ analysis system. The inclusion of the AFP Service Codes enhances WFG account analysis solutions by providing corporate treasury departments with a vital resource that supplements the analysis and reconciliation of their commercial banking fees.

The AFP Service Codes, formerly TMA Service Codes, are the industry standard for identifying balances and service charges that appear on bank account analysis statements. Account analysis statements are detailed invoices of charges for bank services used by commercial banking customers. Companies that have automated this process have realized significant savings by correcting bank errors, restructuring bank relationships and creating administrative efficiencies.

“Weiland Financial Group has long been recognized as a frontrunner in account analysis solutions. Its decision to incorporate the AFP Service Codes in its bank relationship management system will further position WFG as a preferred resource in account analysis,” said AFP President and CEO Jim Kaitz. “We are excited about this opportunity to work with WFG to provide valuable solutions to corporate treasury professionals in managing their bank relationships.”

WFG President and CEO Patricia Weiland commented, “WFG has enjoyed an extensive history of contributing to the AFP. WFG served on the committee that originally codified the 822 Electronic Statement standards as well as both the original and subsequent paper standards committees, so naturally we were pleased to achieve AFP Service Codes Licensed Provider status. The codes are symbolic of the thirteen years we have devoted to improving communication between banks and their most valued customers.”
