    Leading Tourism and Services Group to Utilize ReconNET to Manage
    Cash, Credit Cards, Foreign Currency Deposits and Disbursements

    Trintech (Nasdaq:TTPA) (Prime Standard:TTP), a leading provider of transaction reconciliation and payment infrastructure solutions, today announced that TUI Northern Europe, a division of TUI AG, the world's largest tourism and services group, selected Trintech's ReconNET to automate the verification and reconciliation of cash banking and credit card transactions, including foreign currency deposits from Forex Bureaus distributed throughout its 1,100 agencies. Additionally, the solution automates the verification and reconciliation of the company's principal disbursement account.
    TUI Northern Europe owns many of Europe's best-known holiday brands, and provides its traveling customers in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland with world-class vacation experiences through its airlines, tour companies and travel agencies.
    The ReconNET solution replaces a heavily-customized third-party system that required time-consuming and labor-intensive reconciliation and research processes. ReconNET streamlines cash management processes, increases internal controls, and provides effective risk management and reporting across the company's UK, Ireland, and Nordic agencies.
    "Ensuring the highest standards of business efficiency was key -- that's why we wanted an automated solution as well as a more comprehensive, timely process to ensure control of operations," said Steve Newman, Director of Finance, TUI NE. "The fact that Trintech was able to complete the configuration, implementation and training in a matter of weeks was a massive advantage."
    "Our complete focus on TUI NE's success and our ongoing commitment to driving real, measurable value is a competitive differentiator," said John Harte, General Manager of Trintech's Funds Management Systems Division. "Usage of our solutions continues to expand in the UK marketplace, further testimony to the high value of our software. We remain committed to maintaining our leadership position in the enterprise-wide reconciliation solutions marketplace."
