PRNewswire-FirstCall

NEW YORK, NY - June 3, 2003 - LivePerson, Inc. (NASDAQ: LPSN), a provider of technology facilitating real-time online customer interaction, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Digital Insight® Corp. (NASDAQ: DGIN), a leading eFinance enabler, to provide real-time customer service capabilities to their client base of over 1,600 financial institutions. Under the terms of the agreement, Digital Insight can immediately make the LivePerson self-service and live chat solutions, Secure Chat and Secure Support, directly available to its financial institution clients.

LivePerson's customer service capabilities further enhance Digital Insight's already robust suite of online banking service offerings. Digital Insight clients are already seeing a reduction in toll-free calls and additional savings on overall support costs by providing self-service support for basic questions and the ability to escalate to email and chat for more complex questions.

"We wanted to increase the human element on our website and to offer our online users the same level of service they would receive at a branch," said Gail Enda, Senior Vice President, Marketing & Member Services at American Airlines Credit Union. "With Secure Chat and Secure Support, we have already seen a 20% savings in comparison to a standard toll-free and international phone charges as well as a 15% increase in new member accounts."

"Integrating Secure Chat and Secure Support in our Internet Banking 4.0 product allows Digital Insight to help drive profitability of the online channel for Digital Insight clients. These products offer our clients powerful tools they can use to help increase product sales and improve end user retention, " said Jeff Kupietzky, vice president of Internet Banking, Digital Insight.

"We are pleased to enter into this relationship with Digital Insight, a trusted industry leader in outsourced solutions for banks and credit unions, as it represents LivePerson's first channel distribution deal. With this relationship, we intend to leverage Digital Insight's current strength in the financial services sector to accelerate our penetration into this market." said Robert LoCascio, CEO of LivePerson.
