Press Release Summary = Leading Saudi Arabian Bank to implement Fair Isaac risk
management capabilities
to support compliance goals across retail credit portfolios

Press Release Body = MINNEAPOLIS-August 23, 2007-Fair Isaac Corporation (NYSE:FIC),
the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, today
announced that Riyadh-based Samba Financial Group (Samba) has chosen Fair Isaac
services after a rigorous selection process to support the delivery of Basel II
internal-ratings based (IRB) compliance across its retail portfolios.

Fair Isaac, in cooperation with its local agent Cadmus International, will deliver
consulting services and advanced analytic capabilities to help one of Saudi Arabia's
largest banks meet compliance goals while effectively managing credit risk and
growth. The implementation of best-practice techniques for credit and operational
risk management will play an important role in enhancing Samba's competitive
advantages in capital calculations and requirements in the bank's consumer card,
mortgage and personal loan portfolios.

Developed to enhance the stability of global financial systems, the Basel II Accord
redefines the methodology that institutions use for calculating capital reserves,
making these calculations more sensitive to risk. Saudi Arabia expects all banks and
financial institutions operating in the country to implement the standardized
approach for credit risk by January 1, 2008, and then continue to move towards the
more sophisticated IRB approach. Under the IRB approach, banks with advanced risk
management capabilities such as Samba will be permitted to use their own internal
systems to measure credit risk, as opposed to the standardized approach which
applies ratings provided by external credit assessment institutions.
Samba currently utilizes the powerful scoring, segmentation and decision automation
capabilities of Fair Isaac's TRIADT adaptive control system to streamline its
account management processes and achieve greater efficiencies in managing the risk
exposure of its consumer card portfolio.

"Complying with the Basel II Accord is a critical issue for global banking
institutions," said Robert Duque-Ribeiro, Managing Director for Europe, Middle East
and Africa markets at Fair Isaac. "Leading lenders such as Samba that take a more
advanced approach to assessing risk and integrating this knowledge into
decision-making processes are expected to secure considerable competitive advantage.
With more than 50 years of applying advanced analytics to financial services
challenges, Fair Isaac is uniquely positioned to assist Samba in achieving timely
implementation of Basel II requirements for risk management."
"Banks and financial institutions in this region have definitely embraced the
analytics and technology upsurge, and I am very excited that we can now provide
Samba with the best-of-breed approaches they require to effectively grow their
business and comply with Basel II requirements," said Daniel Dib, Managing Director
of Cadmus International.
Fair Isaac has closely tracked the development of the Basel II Accord and is
collaborating with clients worldwide to address required changes before guidelines
take effect. Companies working with Fair Isaac for Basel II compliance are
implementing scoring, segmentation, business rules and decision automation
techniques through solutions like the company's TRIAD system, Blaze AdvisorT
business rules management system and FICO® scores.
