TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- SAFLINK Corporation (Nasdaq: NRID - news), a
leader in the implementation of biometric technology in the financial industry, will be participating in
Unisys Corporation's [NYSE:UIS - news] second annual FBA Navigator Users Conference,

from around the world.
Targeted at bank marketing and delivery channel executives, and at senior technical professionals, the

channels. Among the delivery channels the conference will address are the branch, the call center, the
Internet and mobile banking.
Conference highlights include:
- An on-site tour of Westernbank, a Unisys FBA Navigator client and a
SAFLINK finger imaging client. The tour will highlight the recently
installed Unisys retail branch solution, which includes finger imaging
hardware and software from SAFLINK. Attendees will also receive a
private demonstration of the solution and will have an opportunity to
address questions to Westernbank, Unisys and Unisys business partners,
including SAFLINK, Microsoft Corporation [Nasdaq:MSFT - news] and Genesys Corporation,
during a panel discussion following the site visit.
- A keynote address by Dr. James B. Moore, Ph. D., President and CEO of
highly respected Mentis Corporation, a leading financial services
research firm. Mentis recently published a research report on
biometric technology entitled 'Beyond the PIN: Evolving Strategies and
Implementations of Biometrics-Based Recognition for Financial
Services,' which included an overview of SAFLINK's kiosk installation
at Purdue Employees Federal Credit Union. (Further information about

to address the benefits of a multi-channel strategy, and to highlight
various implementation considerations and approaches.

Genesys, with a special "Welcome to Puerto Rico" address by Frank C.
Stipes, President of Westernbank.

Capabilities developed with Unisys include customer identification, and teller/supervisor log-on and
transaction approvals. ''Our partners add key capabilities to the FBA Navigator solution, to the
ultimate benefit of our customers'' said Judy Jones, Unisys FBA Navigator Program Director. ''We
are very excited about our partnership with SAFLINK, which enables us to offer our retail delivery
