                   Equifax Board Approves Spin-off of Certegy


ATLANTA, June 12, 2001 - The Board of Directors of Equifax Inc. (EFX: NYSE)
yesterday approved the spin-off of Certegy Inc., formerly Equifax Payment
Services.

The spin-off will be accomplished through a special dividend of Certegy stock to
be distributed on July 7, 2001, to Equifax shareholders of record as of June 27,
2001.  Equifax shareholders will receive one share of Certegy common stock for
every two shares of Equifax stock held and will receive a cash payment in lieu
of fractional shares.  Equifax will continue to trade on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "EFX." Certegy also will be listed on the NYSE and is
expected to begin regular way trading on July 9, 2001, under the symbol "CEY."

The two companies will be separated for accounting purposes on June 30, 2001.
The exact timing of the spin and distribution depend upon completion of
Certegy's registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The
distribution of Certegy stock will be treated as a tax-free dividend to
shareholders based on a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service.

"On completion of the spin, we will have implemented our plan to provide
separate investment focus for two successful and powerful franchises," said
Thomas F. Chapman, chairman and chief executive officer of Equifax.  "The track
records of both businesses reflect their strength and impressive performance
even in challenging economic environments.  Both organizations are ready to move
forward with the same passion for quality, integrity, innovation and absolute
focus on customer satisfaction."

Consistent with its spin-off objectives, the Equifax Board also restructured the
company's dividend policy to reinforce its growth strategy. The post-spin-off
dividend policy of $0.02 per quarter manifests the company's commitment to a
more vigorous reinvestment of funds to further stimulate growth through
acquisitions, new product and technology development, as well as strategic
investments.
