differentiate their products in the financial services marketplace," said James
S. Mahan III, CEO of S1 Corporation. "Large financial services companies are
focused on wealth management and demand the control and flexibility afforded by

"We are pleased with the sequential growth in S1's revenues and the continued
gross margin growth of our core large financial institutions segment, said
Robert F. Stockwell, CFO of S1 Corporation. "S1 maintained a gross margin of 44%
across the company as a whole. Our large financial institution segment
contribution before G&A improved from a negative $6.7 million in the first
quarter of this year to a positive $418 thousand in the third quarter. The gross
margin in the segment also improved from 29% at the beginning of the year to 36%
in the third quarter."
The Company's gross margin for the third quarter 2000 was $28.3 million, or 44%.
This equates to a gross margin on par with last quarter of 44%. The Company's
software license margin was 92% and remained the same as in the second quarter
of 2000. As the demand for S1 services continued to grow, the professional
services margin increased to 33% in the third quarter. S1's Data Center revenues
increased to $5.8 million and the gross margin was 15%.

marketable securities of $220.5 million available to fund operations.
Business Activity Highlights:
* Five S1 customers agreed to migrate to the new version of the S1 Consumer
Suite providing integrated banking, brokerage and insurance applications.
Of these five, Michigan National is currently live, and Principal Bank is
scheduled to go live within the next few weeks.
* S1 expanded its global footprint by completing the initial development of
its world wide data center facilities in the United Kingdom and
Singapore. Additionally, S1 completed the deployment of its applications
at OCBC's direct bank, finatiQ, based in Singapore.
* In extending its platform to other operating systems, S1 significantly
advanced the port of its Consumer Suite to the IBM 390 Enterprise Server
environment, which is optimally designed to take advantage of large
volumes of transactions. S1's implementation teams are working closely
with a large international bank to be the first in production on this
platform early next year.
* In a further extension of S1's capabilities, S1 Development Labs
completed the initial port of the S1 Consumer Suite to the Microsoft
Windows NT environment, and expects to fully port the applications to
Microsoft Windows 2000 next year.
* S1 entered into a global agreement with Aether Systems and its European
venture, SILA Communications, to be the first to provide wireless-
enabled applications, called Mobile eFinance, through data centers that
are equipped to handle virtually any carrier and any device, enabling
institutions to more easily support a broad base of wireless users. These
applications are scheduled to be available in the fourth quarter of 2000.
* S1 joined forces with Citibank, Wells Fargo, Enron, and I2 Technologies
to streamline payments processing for business-to-business e-commerce
with the formation of FinancialSettlementMatrix.com.
