Market Wire, December, 2004

Metavante Corporation, the financial technology subsidiary of Marshall & Ilsley Corporation (NYSE: MI), today announced that Clout Financial Services, Inc. began piloting Visa mini cards to its customers this month.

Metavante is providing Clout, a client since 2001, with account processing, card personalization and fulfillment services, as well as underwriting, compliance, customer service, collections, handling of disputes, chargebacks and fraud monitoring services.

"Our continuing relationship with Metavante has afforded Clout the ability to provide the latest in card payment innovations, resulting in a more convenient way for our customers to make purchases," said Bernie Pasierb, president and chief executive officer, Clout Financial Services, Inc.
