SANTA ANA, Calif., March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TROY Group, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: TROY) announced today that it has concluded an agreement with Centro de Compensacion Automatizado (CCA) to provide software to process and distribute ACH transactions for the primary banks in Chile. CCA is the Chilean equivalent of the US Federal Reserve or the Electronics Payment Network (EPN). In February of 2006, TROY announced EPN's addition of TROY's ACH Origination software to help community banks and credit unions offer more advanced ACH payment services. CCA adds another central ACH clearing facility as a TROY solution client. The CCA solution consists of TROY'S StarACH processing software and HP Integrity and ProLiant servers and HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array hardware. The combined solution provides the processing power to exceed the current large transaction volumes and short processing windows that CCA must address. "TROY and HP conducted a series of benchmark tests using CCA data that demonstrated the processing speed and capacity of the system," said Luis Feldman, Senior Vice President of CCA. "We also considered the ability of the system to grow with our requirements and the cost of a server based system versus a traditional solution. We are confident the StarACH solution is flexible enough to address the specific needs of Chile as well as keep our operation aligned with NACHA requirements," added Feldman. Patrick Dirk, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TROY Group, Inc., said, "We are pleased that CCA selected StarACH to address their business requirements. CCA is the beginning of a focused effort that TROY and HP have undertaken to pursue other banks, financial institutions, and central clearing houses in the Latin American region." "StarACH complements the comprehensive suite of payments services we offer," said Joe Lott, Director of Payments, WW financial services industry, HP. "The application, combined with the HP platforms, provides a pathway for expansion to other payment solutions we currently offer and plan to offer in the future," added Lott.
