ONLINE RESOURCES AMENDS AND EXTENDS SENIOR SECURED DEBT

CHANTILLY, Va., October 3, 2011 – Online Resources Corporation (NASDAQ: ORCC), a leading provider of online financial services, today announced that effective September 29, 2011, it has amended and extended its senior secured credit facilities through February 21, 2013. The Company sought this extension to support continuing execution of its strategic growth plan.

Following a $3 million prepayment in conjunction with the amendment and a $1.5 million scheduled payment, the Company’s term loan balance is now $22.3 million. The extended facilities also include a $12 million revolving credit facility which remains undrawn. Both facilities carry a rate of LIBOR plus 275 to 325 basis points, depending on leverage.

The Company’s senior secured credit facilities are provided by a syndicate of banks including administrative agent, Bank of America, syndication agent, Silicon Valley Bank, SunTrust Bank and Capital One.

“By extending the maturity date of our senior debt, we expect to gain additional flexibility as we continue to make investments in the Company,” said Catherine A. Graham, executive vice president and chief financial officer for Online Resources. “Pursuant to the strategic growth plan we introduced earlier this year, we are making progress in strengthening our sales, product management and marketing functions and building out our development center in India. This change in our debt structure allows us to continue these initiatives while maintaining a healthy cash balance.”
