    Harris Introduces Commercial Credit Card Designed Specifically for Middle Market Businesses

    CHICAGO, April 1, 2008 – Harris today introduced the Harris Corporate MasterCard® created specifically for U.S.-based middle market or ganizations. The new card, intended for businesses with $10 million to $250 million in annual revenues, is designed to grow with a business as its revenues – and expenses – change.

    "In the past, card products generally fit well for either smaller or larger enterprises," said Ray Whitacre, Senior Vice President at Harris and head of the Commercial Middle Market segment. "The new card offers features that match up with the needs of middle market organizations, including enhanced control over expenses, and better payment and purchasing efficiency. Ultimately, it delivers greater convenience for our customers and their employees who use the card."

    The Harris Corporate MasterCard features the cost-saving advantages of a traditional commercial card program combined with a technology platform that facilitates administrative functions. For example, Harris Corporate MasterCard users will be able to integrate travel and entertainment (T&E), purchasing and fleet expenses within a single card solution. Card features are available around the clock through the Web-based Harris details Online service. Accessible from any Internet-connected computer, details Online includes timely account information reporting and a full set of card program management features.

    With the addition of the Harris Corporate MasterCard to the bank's family of business credit products, Harris now offers a full roster of business credit cards that serve a wide spectrum of commercial organizations – from micro-sized small businesses to multi-million dollar middle market companies.
