AFFINITY SUES THE DIME SAVINGS BANK AND HUDSON UNITED CORPORATION

Columbia, SC, April 19, 2000 - Affinity Technology Group, Inc. [NASDAQ:   AFFI] today announced that it has filed suit against The Dime Savings Bank of New York and Hudson United Bancorp. The suit was filed in the United States District Court for the district of South Carolina, Columbia Division.

Affinity's complaint arises out of claims for a breach of its iDEAL system contract with Dime. Additionally, the complaint alleges intentional interference with the contract by Hudson which is in the process of merging with Dime, and contains a civil conspiracy claim against both Dime and Hudson.

Joe Boyle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Affinity, stated, "After numerous discussions with The Dime Savings Bank regarding the status of the deployment of our iDEAL system and amounts we are due for the work we have performed, we had no alternative but to file the lawsuit. We have spent millions of dollars and have expended significant resources in the development of the system, and our discussions with Dime indicate they do not intend to use the system due to the proposed Hudson merger."
