TROY Introduces New Line of High Security Business Checks
Offering Industry Leading Fraud Prevention

Costa Mesa CA, - January 12, 2009: TROY Group, Inc. (OTC: TROY.PK), a Worldwide Provider in Secure Output Solutions, announces three new lines of security check paper - TROY SECURITY, SECURITY PLUS, and FORTRESS. TROY’s new lines of check paper offer the latest technology to prevent fraudulent copying, alteration and counterfeiting of business checks while providing full compliance with financial services industry requirements for check imaging and clearing.

TROY FORTRESS Business Checks incorporate twenty of the most advanced security features available to help prevent unauthorized copying and check alteration. Equipped with eight covert security features, TROY FORTRESS checks provide court enforceable check verification. A truly unique covert feature incorporated into TROY FORTRESS Checks are hidden microstructures, an image survivable security feature that remains visible to a trained document examiner even after the document has been scanned to a low resolution bit map; a practice that is common in today’s Check 21 imaged-based check clearing.

TROY SECURITY and SECURITY PLUS Business Checks include many of the advanced copy, authentication and tamper evident features offered in the TROY FORTRESS check paper. Organizations seeking to update their current business checks with the latest fraud prevention security features will find the new TROY SECURITY and SECURITY PLUS Business Checks the most secure, cost effective options available on the market today.

“Our research has shown that image-based check clearing created a new set of risks. TROY’s new line of TROY business checks addresses all these market challenges setting a new standard for fraud prevention,” states Larry Landtiser, Executive Vice President and General Manager. “For over 30 years TROY has been an innovator of fraud prevention solutions and continues to protect our customers against check fraud and other document related crimes with the most up-to-date solutions.”
