Deluxe Announces Comprehensive Regulatory and Compliance Web Portal and Services Program for Community Financial Institutions

New program helps community banks and credit unions comply with and stay ahead of regulatory changes that impact the bottom line

ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In response to dynamic changes in regulatory reform, Deluxe Corporation (NYSE:DLX), today announced the Deluxe Regulatory Compliance Program, a comprehensive Web portal and set of services that provides relevant regulatory information, compliance management tools and online training through one convenient access point for community banks and credit unions across the nation.

"Deluxe has made a commitment to help financial institutions not only survive, but thrive during this period of great industry change," said Tom Morefield, president of Deluxe Financial Services. "The Web portal will enable Deluxe clients to successfully manage their day-to-day compliance tasks and stay ahead of the many regulatory changes that are coming."

Constant updates in regulatory reform are driving a financial services industry transformation, pressuring banks and credit unions of all sizes to speed product delivery and find new sources of profitability. Regulatory reform will be one of their biggest challenges over the next three to five years. In the past, financial institutions typically encountered about 20 new regulations per year. As a result of the Dodd-Frank Act, however, it is estimated there will be 240 new regulations over the next 18 - 24 months.

The new Deluxe program includes a comprehensive Web-based portal, an enterprise-wide solution that offers up-to-date consolidated information on the most current regulatory and compliance news and information from the organizations overseeing the industry. The program also offers:

    --  Educational tools -comprehensive and customizable online training and
        education tools to enable financial institutions to meet the required
        education components of ever-changing regulations.
    --  Compliance program management software -an applicationdesigned to reduce
        the complexity of staying compliant. This software provides efficient
        and comprehensive project management and communication tools, and the
        ability to conduct high-level risk assessments, as well as audit
        workflows. It also includes the ability to make recommendations and
        create action plans.
    --  Vendor management tools - tools that fulfill the requirement to keep
        current information on key vendors including risk classification and due
        diligence to eliminate undue third party risks exposure.
