Corporate offices are set up in Beijing, as EverLink is adopted by
the People's Bank of China, 6/28/00

At a gala grand-opening ceremony in the State Department's Presidential Guest Hall (Diao Yu Tai), Vice-President Wu Xiao-Ling of the People’s Bank of China announced the mass deployment of multi-regional check clearing systems in the financial districts of Beijing and Tianjin, an event that is widely hailed as a major breakthrough in banking technology .

This system adopts Anyware Technology's EverLink Suite to securely and efficaciously transmit daily check transactions and clearances between Beijing, Tianjin and numerous nearby cities. This area is of particular economic importance as it is the major financial power hub of Northeastern China, and is home to 1,373 commercial banks and financial institutions which are participating in this ground-breaking program.

During the last fiscal year alone, more than 4,466 million check transactions in excess of 5,105 billion RMB were conducted in this area. EverLink, in providing the critical security infrastructure in the deployment of this system, dramatically helps to shorten the time in which deposited funds can be made available, from a nerve-wracking 6 days down to only 1 day. This will, in turn, help to stimulate greater economic development and growth in this region by making such critical financial resources more readily available for business entities.
