April 16, 2007— Cyence International, a leader in the loan and lease origination software industry, is pleased to announce that VFC Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD Bank Financial Group, has renewed its contract with VFC.

The front-office solution Cyence provides support for VFC’s operations by offering highly-configurable software that easily integrates with its back-end systems, enables instant access to major credit bureaus, and provides for the capture and processing of both customer and asset information with functionality to have fully-automated, instant decisions.

“Our focus remains on developing innovative software solutions that drive profitability for our customer partners,” said Cyence’s CEO, Peter Hyne. “Cyence is proud to witness VFC’s continued growth and to provide the software to support it. Cyence has a proven track record for successful relationships with its customers, and I am proud to say that every customer that has gone live with our software still uses it today.”

VFCDirect, which facilitates VFC’s lending connection with major networks, currently supports tens of thousands of transactions each month.
