www.goldleaf.com - For Goldleaf Financial Solutions, Inc. MEDIA CONTACTS: Jennifer-Robyn Meier/Heather Cunningham 678-336-6540/678-264-8011 Goldleaf Financial Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:GFSI), a provider of integrated technology-based solutions designed to improve the performance of financial institutions, today announced that Onley, Va.-based Shore Bank has enhanced its security by selecting Goldleaf's new full site secure sockets layer (SSL) capabilities. SSL is a standard security technology

within the industry, however, unlike other SSL solutions available today, Goldleaf's solution also improves the performance of online access and paging, which means that navigating speed within the Website is not compromised because of the added security.

According to Lisa Lentz, vice president of Shore Bank, "As more of our customers move toward Internet Banking, it has become absolutely critical that our Web site has the highest level of security available. It was important for us to find a solution that is secure without sacrificing performance in the process. Goldleaf's SSL solution allows us to have both, which is crucial to our operations and that of our customers. Being able to provide a secure Web site that protects customer data and ensures that all data passed between our Website and our customer's browser remains private and secure is invaluable and enables Shore Bank to stand out from the competition."

With no shortage of phishing and pharming scams, and fraudsters becoming more sophisticated, it's paramount that financial institutions go the extra mile to protect customer information and browsing patterns. Goldleaf's full site SSL solution accomplishes this and enables institutions to protect their reputation in the market, while mitigating fraudulent losses and minimizing customer turnover due to inadequate security measures. SSL is the most recognized way for customers to check the validity of a Website, and is created from a Certificate Authority (CA), a private company that issues digital certificates. Goldleaf handles all the certificate management, including that certificates do not expire and are upgraded as necessary.

Goldleaf EVP, Todd Shiver, commented, "Our security solutions are second to none. Within the financial services industry, Goldleaf has always taken a leadership role and today, the company is recognized as a premier provider of quality products and services. Not only do we stand out in our customer service, but also in our ability to anticipate the needs of our customers, and then go one step further. As a result, we developed full site SSL to ensure the maximum protection and capabilities available. The feedback has been tremendous, which really speaks to our ability to foresee the security needs in the market."
