Net.B@nk Lends Over $100M in Online
Home Mortgages in Just Six Months

PR Newswire - March 03, 1999 07:45

ATLANTA, March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Net.B@nk(TM), Member FDIC
(Nasdaq: NTBK) (www.netbank.com) provided more than $100 million in
financing for home mortgages to consumers across the country during the last
six months of 1998, the bank announced today. Lending officials at
Net.B@nk, which is the largest FDIC-insured bank operating solely on the
Internet, attribute this overwhelming volume to the lending programs they
have developed for top Internet lending companies, including First Mortgage
Network and American Finance and Investment's mortgage.com.

"Industry analysts are predicting an exponential increase in the number of
online mortgage originations in the U.S. in 1999 and beyond," said Bill Bazzell,
senior mortgage officer at Net.B@nk. "Net.B@nk is fast becoming the
lender of choice online as we offer consumers Internet mortgage services
with unprecedented convenience, lower loan origination costs and an
enhanced degree of privacy. We are a new breed of loan wholesaler,
providing loan products through leading-edge Internet lenders."

By taking advantage of Internet technologies, Net.B@nk, a federal savings
bank operating in all 50 states, improves the closing process for their lending
partners. The relationship with Net.B@nk facilitates the loan application and
processing while reducing costs for consumers and lending organizations
alike.

Founded in 1992, mortgage.com (formerly American Finance and Investment,
Inc., purchased by First Mortgage Network in April 1998) was one of the first
companies to offer mortgages on the Internet. Since then, the mortgage
banker has funded over 10,000 loans. Its customers do business with
mortgage.com directly and through Microsoft Home Advisor, Quicken(TM)
Mortgage and others to save time and money without sacrificing personal
service.

Net.B@nk, Inc. (Nasdaq: NTBK), is the first profitable Internet-only bank in
the country, having achieved profitability in the second, third and fourth
quarters of 1998. With more than 20,000 accounts and customers in all 50
