Banco Terra in Mozambique delivers retail banking

with T24 to support its Rural Banking Programme

GENEVA, Switzerland – 26 November 2008: Temenos (SWX: TEMN), the provider of integrated
core banking systems, today announced that Banco Terra, a specialist in financing agriculture-
oriented activities, has gone live with TEMENOS T24 Model Bank to support its new operations
in Mozambique. This will support all Banco Terra’s retail and commercial banking operations in
the region.

Banco Terra is a new financial institution owned by Rabobank (Netherlands), KfW (Germany),
Norfund (Norway) and Gapi (Mozambique), and was registered as a commercial bank in 2007.
After receiving a license to operate in Mozambique, the bank deployed T24 in just eight months
to open its first branch in the region. As a result, Banco Terra is now able to deliver a full range
of financial services to the unbanked population of Mozambique, including loans and savings
accounts and payment services. Temenos’ Model Bank implementation methodology enabled
the bank to reduce implementation time and costs, minimising the need for customisation, as
well as lowering the project risk.

This project forms part of an overall investment of over 20 million dollars to establish banking
operations in Mozambique, including 20 branches strategically located in rural areas
throughout the country to provide retail banking services to the agricultural and SME sectors.
T24 will be used across all of Banco Terra’s branches in Mozambique, which will be opened
between 2008 and 2010.

Maarten Susan, CEO of Banco Terra said, “Our objective is to be Mozambique’s leading provider
of retail banking products and services to the rural areas. We chose to partner with Temenos
based on its proven experience in the banking sector and its core banking technology expertise.
Rural banking services still need to be developed in Mozambique and with Temenos’ T24 Model
Bank, we now have the capability to offer a full range of products for lending, deposits and
transfers to the region.”

Banco Terra chose Temenos over other banking solution providers including i-flex, Infosys and
Tata Consulting Services (TCS) on the strength of its pre-configured products based on best
practice processes. The flexibility of T24 combined with Temenos Professional Services’
expertise enabled the bank to implement the software to meet the timescale requirements of
the bank.

Andreas Andreades, CEO, Temenos, says: “We are delighted to be able to contribute to the
development of banking services in rural Africa through this project. Our expertise in
community banking is now extensive and proven by more than 60 clients using our software in
this sector and over 600 across multiple banking sectors worldwide. Our model bank package
and methodology, a result of significant R&D investment, allows us to work with banks of all
sizes, while always delivering real business benefits and high return on investment.”

T24 Model Bank is packaged core banking software that provides banks with unparalleled
richness in functionality on an integrated, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) with support
from front to back office. T24 Model Bank includes pre-configured, industry best practices for
each banking sector, enabling banks to optimize operations and processes while remaining
agile, flexible and responsive to business change. Its highly automated implementation
approach delivers short implementations with a rapid and measurable return on investment.

intimacy and a clear and deep understanding of the enterprise including its risk and
performance. Its scalability, as underlined by recently reported Temenos/IBM performance
tests, means T24 is capable of servicing of banks ranging from small to up to 25million accounts.
