To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks,
Trust Companies and Other Nominees:

   We refer to the enclosed offering circular-prospectus dated , 2000 of Deluxe
Corporation, a Minnesota corporation ("Deluxe"), and the letter of transmittal,
which together constitute Deluxe's offer (the "exchange offer") to exchange
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (the "eFunds shares"), of
eFunds Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("eFunds"), for each share of common
stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Deluxe shares"), of Deluxe that are
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by the expiration date of the
exchange offer, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
exchange offer. See "Summary," "The Exchange Offer" and "Terms of the Exchange
Offer" in the offering circular-prospectus, up to a maximum of Deluxe shares
validly tendered and not properly withdrawn. Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise explained have the same meanings as in the offering circular-
prospectus.

   We have been appointed by Deluxe to act as the dealer manager in connection
with the exchange offer. Your attention is directed to the offering circular-
prospectus, which we urge you to read carefully in its entirety.

   The exchange offer and withdrawal rights will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York
City time, on , 2000, unless extended in accordance with applicable law and the
terms of the exchange offer, in which event the term "expiration date" shall
mean the latest time and date to which the exchange offer, as extended, shall
expire. The maximum number of Deluxe shares which will be accepted for exchange
will be Deluxe shares, which, when exchanged, equals 40,000,000 eFunds shares.
If more than such maximum number of Deluxe shares are tendered, the exchange
offer will be oversubscribed, and Deluxe shares validly tendered and not
properly withdrawn will be subject to proration in accordance with the terms
set forth in the offering circular-prospectus under "Terms of the Exchange
Offer-Terms of the Exchange Offer," except for certain odd-lot tenders as
described in the same section of the offering circular-prospectus.

   Deluxe will pay a solicitation fee of $ per share, up to a maximum of 1,000
shares per tendering shareholder, for each Deluxe share tendered and accepted
for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer, if the soliciting dealer has
affirmatively solicited the tender and Box #9 of the letter of transmittal is
checked and completed giving details of the name of (i) any broker or dealer in
securities which is a member of any national securities exchange in the United
States or of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or (ii) any
bank or trust company located in the United States. However, no solicitation
fee shall be payable (i) in connection with a tender of Deluxe shares by a
shareholder (x) tendering more than 1,000 shares of Deluxe
<PAGE>

shares or (y) tendering from a country outside of the United States or (ii) to
the dealer manager. In addition, soliciting dealers are not entitled to a fee
with respect to Deluxe shares beneficially owned by such soliciting dealer or
with respect to any shares that are registered in their name, unless they hold
such shares as nominee and tender them for the benefit of beneficial holders
identified in the letter of transmittal. No such fee shall be payable to a
soliciting dealer if such soliciting dealer is required for any reason to
transfer the amount of such fee to a tendering holder (other than itself). No
broker, dealer, bank, trust company or fiduciary shall be deemed to be the
agent of Deluxe, eFunds, the Exchange Agent, the information agent or the
dealer manager for purposes of the exchange offer.

   In order for a soliciting dealer to receive a solicitation fee with respect
to the tender of Deluxe shares, the Exchange Agent must have received a
properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal (including a
completed box entitled "Notice of Solicited Tenders" (Box #9)).

   The acceptance of compensation by the soliciting dealer listed in "Notice of
Solicited Tenders" (Box #9) of the letter of transmittal will constitute a
representation by such soliciting dealer that: (i) it has complied with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and
the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, in connection with such
solicitation; (ii) it is entitled to such compensation for such solicitation
under the terms and conditions of the offering circular-prospectus and the
letter of transmittal, and (iii) in soliciting tenders of Deluxe shares, it has
used no soliciting materials other than those furnished by Deluxe.
