                      THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

     THIRD PARTY INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of May 1,
2000 by and between Deluxe Corporation, a Minnesota corporation ("Deluxe"), and
eFunds Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Deluxe
("eFunds").

                                    RECITALS

     WHEREAS, Deluxe currently owns all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of eFunds;

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, dated March
31, 2000 between Deluxe and eFunds (the "Assignment Agreement"), Deluxe
contributed and transferred to eFunds, and eFunds received and assumed, directly
or indirectly, substantially all of the assets and liabilities currently
associated with the business and operations of eFunds (the "eFunds Business");

     WHEREAS, Deluxe currently contemplates that, several months following an
initial public offering of eFunds, Deluxe will distribute to the holders of its
common stock by means of an exchange offer and/or a pro rata distribution all of
the shares of eFunds capital stock owned by Deluxe (the "Distribution");

     WHEREAS, during the period of Deluxe's ownership, the eFunds Businesses
purchased and leased certain property and services, and Deluxe purchased and
leased certain property and services for the benefit of the eFunds Businesses,
from certain third parties under master purchase and lease agreements and master
services agreements entered into between Deluxe and such third parties,
including but not limited to the agreements listed on Exhibit A ("Master
Agreements");

     WHEREAS, pursuant to the Assignment Agreement, eFunds agreed to sublease
from Deluxe that portion of the property, machinery, equipment and/or services
used by the eFunds Businesses covered under such Master Agreements;

     WHEREAS, during the period of Deluxe's ownership of the eFunds Businesses,
Deluxe entered into certain guaranty agreements with certain third parties under
which it guaranteed the performance of the eFunds Businesses under various
eFunds Businesses' agreements with such third parties, including but not limited
to the guaranties listed on Exhibit B ("Guaranties");

     WHEREAS, as an integral step in the Distribution, without which the
Distribution would not occur in the form contemplated, the parties desire to
enter into this Agreement to set forth their agreement regarding the obligation
of eFunds to indemnify Deluxe with
<PAGE>

respect to any costs or liability incurred by Deluxe under the Master Agreements
and the Guaranties insofar as such cost or liability is primarily related to the
eFunds Businesses.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Deluxe and eFunds, for themselves,
their successors, and assigns, hereby agree as follows:

     1. Indemnification. eFunds agrees to indemnify in full Deluxe, its
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and officers
(collectively, the "Deluxe Indemnitees") and hold them harmless from and against
any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, damages, expenses or costs
(including reasonable legal and other external advisors fees and expenses)
(each, an "Indemnifiable Loss") which any Deluxe Indemnitee may suffer, sustain
or become subject to under the Master Agreements and Guaranties insofar as such
Indemnifiable Loss is primarily related to the past, present or future operation
of any of the eFunds Businesses; provided, however that in no event shall any
losses, liabilities, deficiencies, damages, expenses, costs or other payments
that Deluxe may suffer, sustain or become subject to pursuant to the provisions
of the Government Services Indemnification Agreement to be entered into between
Deluxe and eFunds constitute an Indemnifiable Loss under the terms of this
Agreement. eFunds irrevocably waives (a) any requirement that Deluxe proceed
first against any other party or against any collateral security, (b) any
defense relating to the absence of any attempt by the third party to collect
under the Master Agreements or Guaranties from eFunds or any other guarantor, or
the absence of any other action to enforce the same (c) any defense relating to
the failure by the third party to take any steps to perfect and maintain its
security interest in, or to preserve rights to, any security or collateral
relating the Master Agreements or Guaranties, or the release by operation of law
or otherwise, of any security interest, security, collateral or right of
recourse or liability relating to the Master Agreements or Guaranties or (d) any
defense relating to any assignment or transfer of rights by eFunds relating to
the Master Agreements or Guaranties. Nothing herein shall be construed to
prevent either party from pursuing a claim it may have against the other party
for the breach of such other party's obligations under the Master Agreements, or
under the Guaranties and the third party agreements under which the Guaranties
were issued.

     2. Indemnification Procedures.

          (a) If a claim or demand for an Indemnifiable Loss is made against a
     Deluxe Indemnitee by any Person who is not a party to the this Agreement (a
     "Third Party Claim") as to which such Deluxe Indemnitee is entitled to
     indemnification pursuant Section 1 hereof, such Deluxe Indemnitee shall
     give eFunds notice of such Third Party Claim, as promptly as practicable,
     but in any event no later than 15 days of the receipt by the Deluxe
     Indemnitee of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide
     such notice shall not release eFunds from any of its obligations under this
     Agreement except to the extent eFunds is materially prejudiced by such
     failure and shall not relieve eFunds from any other
<PAGE>

     obligation or liability that it may have to any Deluxe Indemnitee otherwise
     than under this Agreement. If eFunds acknowledges in writing its
     obligations to indemnify the Deluxe Indemnitee hereunder against any
     Indemnifiable Losses that may result from such Third Party Claim, then
     eFunds shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third
     Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice, subject to
     the approval of the Deluxe Indemnitee (which approval shall not be
     unreasonably withheld or delayed), if it gives notice of its intention to
     do so to the Deluxe Indemnitee within 15 business days of the receipt of
     such notice from the Deluxe Indemnitee; provided, however, that if there
     exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would
     make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Deluxe Indemnitee
     for the same counsel to represent both the Deluxe Indemnitee and eFunds,
     then the Deluxe Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in
     each jurisdiction for which the Deluxe Indemnitee determines counsel is
     required to participate in such defense, at the expense of eFunds. In the
     event eFunds exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any
     such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Deluxe Indemnitee shall
     cooperate with eFunds in such defense and make available to eFunds, at
     eFunds's expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and
     information in the Deluxe Indemnitee's possession or under the Deluxe
     Indemnitee`s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by eFunds,
     subject to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. Similarly,
     in the event the Deluxe Indemnitee is, directly or indirectly, conducting
     the defense against any such Third Party Claim, eFunds shall cooperate with
     the Deluxe Indemnitee in such defense and make available to the Deluxe
     Indemnitee all such witnesses, records, materials and information in
     eFunds's possession or under eFunds's control relating thereto as is
     reasonably required by the Deluxe Indemnitee, subject to reimbursement of
     reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. No such Third Party Claim may be settled
     by eFunds without the prior written consent of the Deluxe Indemnitee (which
     shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless such settlement is
     solely for money and includes an unconditional release of each Deluxe
     Indemnitee from any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of such
     action, claim, suit or proceeding and would not otherwise adversely affect
     the Deluxe Indemnitee. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the
     Deluxe Indemnitee without the prior written consent of eFunds which shall
     not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

          (b) All Persons who by their relationship to a party to this agreement
     (including, without limitation all Affiliates of such party and all
     officers, directors, employees and agents of such party and its Affiliates)
     are, or may become, entitled to indemnification hereunder shall, as a
     condition of their rights to indemnification hereunder, be deemed to have
     granted such party an irrevocable power of attorney, coupled with an
     interest, with respect to all matters for which any determination may be
     made, action may be taken or consent may be given or withheld under this
     Section 2, including, without limitation, any determination regarding
     selection of counsel and any consent regarding settlement, and any such

<PAGE>

     determination, action or consent made, taken, given or withheld by such
     party shall be binding upon such Person as if made, taken, given or
     withheld by such Person personally.

          3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, eFunds shall not be entitled to
     assume the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall be liable for the
     fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Deluxe Indemnitee in defending
     such Third Party Claim if the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction
     or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against
     the Deluxe Indemnitee which the Deluxe Indemnitee reasonably determines,
     after conferring with its counsel, cannot be separated from any related
     claim for money damages. If such equitable relief or other relief portion
     of the Third Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages,
     eFunds shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to
     money damages.

          (d) In the event any Deluxe Indemnitee should have a claim against
     eFunds that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Deluxe Indemnitee
     shall deliver a notice of such claim with reasonable promptness to eFunds.
     If eFunds notifies the Deluxe Indemnitee that it does not dispute the claim
     described in such notice or fails to notify the Deluxe Indemnitee within 20
     business days after delivery of such notice by the Deluxe Indemnitee
     whether eFunds disputes the claim described in such notice, the
     Indemnifiable Loss in the amount specified in the Deluxe Indemnitee's
     notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of eFunds and eFunds shall
     pay the amount of such Indemnifiable Loss to the Deluxe Indemnitee on
     demand. If eFunds has timely disputed the liability with respect to such
     claim, the Chief Financial Officer of eFunds and the Chief Financial
     Officer of Deluxe will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of
     such dispute, and if not resolved through the negotiations of such
     individuals within 20 days after the delivery of the Deluxe Indemnitee's
     notice of such claim, such dispute shall be resolved fully and finally in
     Minneapolis, Minnesota, by an arbitrator selected pursuant to and an
     arbitration governed by Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
     Arbitration Association, as modified herein. The parties will jointly
     appoint a mutually acceptable independent arbitrator, seeking assistance in
     such regard from the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall
     resolve the dispute within 30 days after selection and judgment upon the
     award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent
     jurisdiction. Each of Deluxe, on the one hand, and eFunds, on the other,
     shall bear its own fees and expenses in connection with such arbitration
     and shall bear 50% of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator.

     4. Continuing Indemnity. This is a continuing indemnity and shall not be
revoked or terminated by eFunds until all obligations under the Master
Agreements and Guaranties have been paid or performed in full, with no further
recourse whether at law or in equity, against Deluxe being available to any
third party with respect to such obligations. The indemnity set forth herein
shall be reinstated if and to the extent that, for
<PAGE>

any reason, any payment of the Master Agreements or Guaranties is rescinded or
must be otherwise restored, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy
or reorganization or otherwise.

     5. Representations and Warranties of eFunds. eFunds hereby represents and
warrants to Deluxe as follows:
