FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Electronic Clearing House, Inc. (ECHO) 
to Adjourn Special Meeting to March 27, 2007

Camarillo, Calif., Mar 6, 2007 - Electronic Clearing House, Inc. (Nasdaq: ECHO), a leading provider of electronic payment and transaction processing services, will adjourn its special stockholders meeting scheduled for March 7th relating to its proposed acquisition by Intuit Inc. The meeting will reconvene at 9 a.m. Pacific time on March 27, 2007.

The adjournment will allow ECHO more time to satisfy outstanding closing conditions and to complete its performance of pre-closing covenants. ECHO expects that the acquisition will close one to two days after the reconvened meeting. At that time, ECHO will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Intuit, and ECHO's stock will cease trading. Intuit supports the adjournment of the special meeting.

"Both companies have worked diligently to plan a smooth integration of ECHO's operations and employees into Intuit's payments business following completion of the acquisition," said Chuck Harris, ECHO's President and Chief Operating Officer. "The extra time will allow us to continue these planning efforts and to satisfy our outstanding closing conditions."
