Vancouver BC- May 5, 2000 - AlphaTrade.com (OTC BB: EBNK) announced today that the company will release the fastest known method of streaming data for web based applications over the Internet. The company has been successfully beta testing a new method for streaming data in its current financial applications over the Net. The first application using this new enhanced method will be released as early as next week. For the end users this new method cuts the demands on their CPU by as much as 50% and the current bandwidth requirements by as much as 75%.

Gordon Muir, Chairman of AlphaTrade, states "We are very pleased with this enhanced method of streaming data over the Net. This is a major breakthrough for Internet users wanting streaming data. This version not only minimizes the CPU/Memory load on computers but substantially reduces the bandwidth requirements thereby increasing the speed and performance of their systems without additional hardware or software costs."

This new method of data delivery is crucial for the majority of consumers many of whom only have access to the Internet with dial up modems. Typically dial up modems run at speeds much less than they are capable of because of either poor quality or maxed-out phone lines. This new method will substantially improve the simultaneous viewing of multiple applications which previously would have slowed down or even stopped some slower computers with less memory than the latest, high speed, high end computers.

AlphaTrade.com is a true E-Commerce Internet-based company with "Web-to-desktop" convergence technologies, "patent pending" applications and Network solutions. There is no need to purchase any software, no upgrades to download, no plug-ins needed, no constant refreshing of static web pages and no requirement for special hardware. These unique applications are designed to offer computer users secure business and personal program choices available anytime, anywhere through any dial up or dedicated connection.
