Press Release Summary: Cape Town, 14 October 2008 - PIC Solutions, the leading
specialist credit risk solutions company in the EMEA region, will be presenting at
the Credit Risk Africa 2008 Conference in Nairobi next month.

Press Release Body: Current global events have increased focus on issues surrounding
credit risk practices in banks around the world. As a result, there is an immediate
need to identify and then to measure, monitor and control credit risk practices in
order to maximise the returns from the bank's credit exposure. In order to remain
competitive banks need to ensure that their personnel are up to date with the latest
techniques and methodologies for managing credit risk across their whole portfolio.

The two-day Credit Risk Africa conference will focus on appropriate credit
administration processes and addressing Basel II principles. Attendees will gain
insight into new approaches to diversify portfolios, new risk transfer techniques,
ways in which to maximise debt recovery, and a discussion on the visions of credit
risk in Africa.

PIC Solutions will be presenting on the decisive subject of the importance of credit
bureaux in Africa. In particular, PIC will discuss the strategic benefit of sharing
payment performance data across organisations; and outline key ICT processes and
data management capabilities that must be built to enable this valuable source of
risk assessment information.

Simon Trupp, Director of Consulting and Analytics at PIC Solutions, says, "Global
trends, implementing best practices and the lack of skilled resources are just some
of the challenges impacting organisations in emerging markets. This conference will
provide credit risk professionals with some of the tools necessary to effectively
maximise new opportunities and respond effectively to changing market conditions."

The Credit Risk Africa 2008 conference will be held in Nairobi, Kenya from 3-4
November at the Inter Continental Hotel. For more information about the conference
