(BSNS WIRE) USABanc.com Sets Launch USABanc.com Sets Launch Business Editors PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--August 6, 1999--USABanc.com (NASDAQ:USAB) today announced that it will launch fully operational banking and brokerage services on Monday, August 16, 1999. USABanc.com online banking will include 24/7 access to account balances, transfers, bill paying and other related functions. A wide array of lending products will be offered for direct online application, including residential, auto and commercial loans at www.USABanc.com. The site will feature a number of innovative components, including a "valet service" which will provide a new dimension for ease-of-use in online bill paying. Through its wholly owned brokerage firm, USACapital, a full complement of online stock brokerage services will be offered under the new "USAForce" business line, at www.USAForce.com. Customers will be able to buy stock and manage their investments, with free access to real time quotes, equity and mutual fund research, and IPO participation. USABanc.com's featured personal bank account, "energyONE," will create a totally new concept in online banking by reducing minimum balance requirements to a single dollar ($1.00) in order to receive high yield interest earning accounts. "Until now, banks have been willing to pay interest and provide free checking only to customers who maintain high balances; we think people everywhere, no matter how much money they may have available to them, deserve great rates without service charges," stated Ken Tepper, President & CEO of USABanc.com. The USABanc.com site has been engineered in HTML, allowing fast and immediate access for customers to both banking and brokerage products. EDS (NYSE:EDS) has certified functionality of banking operations, and will provide core data processing for USABanc.com customers. USABanc.com is also preparing an upcoming roll-out of its "Flash" engineered site for customers who select a multimedia-intensive online experience, relying upon greater bandwidth for access.

Those statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the statements.
