     2.  Effective Date. The effective date of this Agreement is February 27,
         --------------
1997.

     3.  Purpose. Digital Insight provides a service to Financial Institutions
         -------
for Financial Institution Customers ("Customers") to pay bills ("Bill Payment
Services" or "Program") and receive other banking services through telephone or
home computer activated instructions (collectively "Home Banking"). Moneyline
provides to Digital Insight as a part of the Bill Payment Services, back-room

for payment to payees ("Vendors") listed in such instructions, and certain
Customer information services (collectively "Moneyline Services"). Digital
Insight shall provide Moneyline with a list of Financial Institutions under
contract with Digital Insight for Bill Payment Services, as well as additions or
deletions to such list as they occur.

     4.  Contractual Relationship. This Agreement is intended and shall be
         ------------------------
construed solely as an independent subcontract of Moneyline to Digital Insight
in the
<PAGE>

offering by Digital Insight of Bill Payment Services. This Agreement is not
intended for the benefit of Financial Institutions, Customers or any other third
persons, and shall not be deemed a joint venture, partnership or similar joint
undertaking.

     Digital Insight grants Moneyline rights as an authorized and primary vendor
to provide those services described as Moneyline Services in any and all
offerings by Digital Insight of Bill Payment Services to Financial Institutions.
Financial Institutions are those depository institutions insured, or eligible
for insurance, by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, or the National
Credit Union Administration.

     5.  Services. The Moneyline Services provided by Moneyline for Digital
         --------
Insight, and the services provided by Digital Insight as a part of Bill Payment
Services ("Digital Insight Services") are described in EXHIBIT A.

     6.  Credit Risk.
         -----------

         A.   Consumer DDA Accounts: Between the parties, Moneyline bears the
              ---------------------
credit risk associated with potential NSF/return items for all consumer DDA
accounts. Moneyline will manage the risk as provided in the procedures which
were previously provided to Company.

         B.   Business DDA Accounts: Between the parties, Moneyline bears the
              ---------------------
credit risk associated with potential NSF/return items for business DDA accounts
only when all of the following conditions are met:

                                       2
<PAGE>

               (i)    Total exposure is limited to a maximum loss of $5,000.00
               per business account.

               (ii)   Only top tier (A and B, as defined in Moneyline's credit
               and risk evaluation system) business clients will be offered the
               bill payment service. This means that the business is in good
               financial condition and has been a customer of the financial
               institution for at least two years. For businesses open less than
               two years, Moneyline requires the opportunity to review and
               approve or disapprove the financial condition of the business.
               Costs associated with this credit review process will be paid by
               the participating financial institution.

               (iii)  Each payment is capped the same as for consumer bill
               payments. The cap on the effective date of this Agreement is
               $9,999.00. Moneyline may change the cap from time to time with
               the prior consent of Company.

          C.   Risk Reduction Measures: Moneyline may at its option implement
               -----------------------
reasonable measures to reduce credit risks. These may include but are not
limited to pre-authorized drafts for business customers, verifying funds through
an ATM network, and separating

                                       3
<PAGE>

          debits from credits so that payments are not sent until after good
          funds are received.

     7.   Performance Standards. The Parties agree that they will use all best
          ---------------------
efforts to meet the performance standards necessary to provide the Digital
