Move and Bankrate Partnership Gives New Meaning to One-Stop-Shopping

RISMEDIA, September 10, 2007–To help consumers navigate conditions in today’s lending industry, Move Inc., (NASDAQ:MOVE) and Bankrate Inc., (NASDAQ:RATE) recently signed an agreement offering up-to-the-minute access to Bankrate’s vast array of mortgage-related resources to the more than 9 million consumers visiting the Move network of sites each month.Consumers on Move.com will now have access to the largest inventory of online real estate listings, complete moving services, the nation’s most comprehensive directory of mortgage brokers and up-to-the-minute mortgage and home equity rate data. Consumers can access Bankrate mortgage-related resources within the Move.com Home Finance channel.

“Buying a home is one of the biggest investments most people make,” says Prem Luthra, senior vice president of consumer media at Move, Inc. “By combining the expertise and full array of services of Move and Bankrate, consumers have immediate access to the resources they need on one site to make smarter, faster decisions about the right loan for their needs.”

The large number of mortgage options and complexity of the process often leave consumers confused and unsure. Rate tables are a helpful tool allowing consumers to search for, sort and compare mortgages by criteria most relevant to their needs such as specific lenders, interest rates or fees. Rate tables also offer more clarity into the lending and mortgage process and provide consumers with the information they need to make informed decisions based on accurate and practical comparisons.

“Our rate tables are designed to give consumers the ability to compare mortgage products, interest rates and fees, so they can find the ideal loan to meet their particular needs,” said Bankrate President and CEO, Thomas R. Evans. “Visitors to Move.com now have the ability to enter their geographic location, their loan amount and the points they wish to pay to receive a list of lenders providing mortgages in their area.”

Through this new agreement, Bankrate will also post how-to advice and articles on the Move web site. Article subjects will range from home equity loans and tips on how to find the right lender to pitfalls on sub prime mortgages and what lenders look for in creditworthiness.

Consumers can access Bankrate mortgage-related resources within the Move.com Home Finance channel at http://finance.move.com/homefinance/mortgages/default.asp?source=a77006.
