The  Executive's  Annual Base Salary shall be payable in equal  installments  in
accordance  with the practice of the Company in effect from time to time for the
payment of salaries  to officers of the Company but in no event less  frequently
than  semi-monthly.  The  Executive's  performance  shall be  reviewed  at least
annually and he shall be entitled, but not guaranteed, to receive such raises as
may from time to time be approved by the Chief Executive Officer or the Board of
Directors or designated committee thereof.

         2.2. Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse the Executive for all
reasonable  expenses  actually  paid or  incurred  by the  Executive  during the
Employment  Period in the  performance  of the  Executive's  duties  under  this
Agreement  in  accordance   with  the  Company's   employee   business   expense
reimbursement  policies  in  effect  from  time to time,  but in no  event  less
frequently then monthly.

         2.3.  Bonuses,  Etc.  The  Executive  shall be entitled to receive such
annual  bonus  compensation  in respect of each fiscal year of the Company  (the

time be determined by the Board of Directors or designated committee thereof.

benefits as the  Compensation  Committee of the Board of Directors may from time
to time establish for the Company's executives.

         2.5. Vacation.  The Executive shall be entitled to paid vacation of not

3.       TERM AND TERMINATION.

         3.1. Employment Period.  Subject to Section 3.2 hereof, the Executive's
"Employment  Period"  shall  commence  on the date of this  Agreement  and shall
terminate  on the earlier of: (i) the close of  business on December  31,  2000,
provided however,  such period shall automatically renew for subsequent 12-month
periods unless either party provides  written notice of termination to the other
party at least 90 days prior to the date of such termination then in effect;  or
(ii) the death of the Executive.
<PAGE>
         3.2.  Termination  of  Employment.  Each party  shall have the right to
terminate the  Executive's  employment  hereunder  before the Employment  Period
expires to the extent, and only to the extent, permitted by this Section.

                  (a) By the Company for Cause. The Company shall have the right
to terminate  the  Executive's  employment  at any time upon delivery of written
notice of  termination  for Cause (as  defined  below) to the  Executive  (which
notice shall specify in reasonable  detail the basis upon which such termination
is made) if the Chief  Executive  Officer or the Board of  Directors  determines
that the Executive:  (i) has stolen or embezzled Company funds or property, (ii)
has been  convicted of a felony or entered a plea of "nolo  contendre"  which in
the reasonable  opinion of the Chief  Executive  Officer or the Board brings the
Executive  into  disrepute or is likely to cause  material harm to the Company's
business,  customer or supplier  relations,  financial  condition or  prospects,
(iii) has, after not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from the Chief
Executive Officer of the Company or the Board of Directors,  willfully failed to
perform or persistently  neglected (other than by reason of illness or temporary
disability,  regardless of whether such temporary disability is or becomes Total
Disability, or by reason of approved vacation or leave of absence) any duties or
responsibilities  assigned  to the  Executive  or normally  associated  with the
Executive's  position to the  detriment of the Company,  its  reputation  or its
prospects,  (iv) has  demonstrated  insubordination  or the refusal to carry out
directives,  or (v) has  willfully  violated or breached  any  provision of this
Agreement or any law or regulation to the material detriment of the Company, its
reputation  or its  business  (collectively,  "Cause").  In the  event  that the
Executive's  employment is terminated for Cause, the Executive shall be entitled
to receive only the payments referred to in Section 3.3(d) hereof.

                  (b) By the Company Upon Total  Disability.  The Company  shall
have the right to terminate  the  Executive's  employment on fourteen (14) days'
prior  written  notice  to the  Executive  if the  Board of  Directors  or Chief
Executive  Officer of the Company  determines  that the  Executive  is unable to
perform  his  duties by  reason  of Total  Disability,  but any  termination  of
employment  pursuant to this  subsection  (b) shall obligate the Company to make
the  payments  referred to in Section  3.3(b)  hereof.  As used  herein,  "Total
Disability"  shall mean the inability of the Executive due to physical or mental
illness  or  injury  to  perform  his  duties  hereunder  for any  period of 180
consecutive days or 180 days in the aggregate in any 365-day period.

                  (c) By the Company Other Than for Cause or Upon Death or Total
Disability.  The  Company  shall  have the right to  terminate  the  Executive's
employment,  other  than  for  Cause  or upon  the  Executive's  death  or Total
Disability in the Company's sole  discretion,  but any termination of employment
pursuant to this  subsection (c) shall obligate the Company to make the payments
referred to in Section 3.3(c) hereof.

                  (d) By the  Executive.  The Executive  shall have the right to
terminate his  employment  hereunder (i) upon the failure of the Company to make
any  required  payment  to the  Executive  hereunder,  which  failure  continues
unremedied  for ten (10) days after the Executive has given the Chief  Executive
Officer  or the  Board of  Directors  written  notice  of such  failure,  or any
material  failure by the  Company to comply with any of the  provisions  of this
Agreement  (other  than a failure to make a  required  payment),  which  failure
continues  unremedied  for
<PAGE>
fourteen (14) days after the Executive has given the Board of Directors  written
notice of such  failure,  (ii) upon a Change of  Control  and (a) a  substantial
diminution  of  the  Executive's  duties  or  responsibilities  compared  to the
Executive's  duties  or  responsibilities  immediately  prior to the  change  of
control,  or (b) a relocation of more than 50 miles from the  Company's  primary
place of business at 13100 Worldgate  Drive,  Suite 600,  Herndon,  VA 20170, or
(iii) otherwise  after sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Company.  In
the event that the  Executive  elects to terminate  his  employment  pursuant to
subsection  (d)(iii),  the  Executive  shall be  entitled  to  receive  only the
payments referred to in Section 3.3(d) hereof. In the event the Executive elects
to  terminate  his  employment  pursuant to  subsection  (d)(i) or (d)(ii),  the
Executive  shall be  entitled  to receive  the  benefits  referred to in Section
3.3(c) hereof.

                  A "Change in Control"  shall be deemed to have occurred if the
conditions  set forth in any one of the  following  paragraphs  shall  have been
satisfied:

                  (i) Any person,  or any persons  acting  together  which would
constitute a "group" for purposes of section  13(d) of the  Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934,  together with any affiliate  thereof  shall  beneficially  own (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) at
least 50% of the total  voting  power of all  classes  of  capital  stock of the
Company  entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the Company;
or

                  (ii)  Any  event or  series  of  events  that  results  in the
Directors on the Board of Directors,  who were  Directors  prior to the event or
series of events, to cease to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of
any parent of or successor to the Company; or

                  (iii) The merger, consolidation or reorganization (a) in which
the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation, (b) in which the Company
is not the  continuing  or surviving  corporation,  or (c) pursuant to which the
Company's  common  stock  would be  converted  into  cash,  securities  or other
property,  except in the case of either  (a),  (b), or (c), a  consolidation  or
merger of the company in which the holders of the Common Stock immediately prior
to the consolidation or merger have, directly or indirectly, at least a majority
of the total  voting  power of all  classes of capital  stock  entitled  to vote
generally  in  the  election  of  directors  of  the   continuing  or  surviving
corporation  immediately after such consolidation or merger in substantially the
same  proportion  as their  ownership  of Common Stock  immediately  before such
transaction ; or

                  (iv) The consummation of a tender or exchange offer for shares
of the Company's  Common Stock (other than tender or exchange offers made by the
Company or Company-sponsored employee benefit plans); or

                  (v) The sale or  transfer of all or  substantially  all of the
assets of the Company to an unaffiliated corporation, person or entity; or

                  (vi) The Board of Directors of  InteliData  approves a plan of
complete or partial  liquidation  of  InteliData or an agreement for the sale or
disposition by InteliData of all or substantially all of its assets.
<PAGE>
                  For purposes of this Section,  "Person" shall have the meaning
given in Section (3)(a)(9) of the Exchange Act, as modified and used in Sections
13(d) and 14(d) thereof;  however, a Person shall not include (i) the Company or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (ii) a trustee or other fiduciary holding
securities  under  an  employee  benefit  plan  of  the  Company  or  any of its
subsidiaries, (iii) an underwriter temporarily holding securities pursuant to an
offering  of  such  securities,   or  (iv)  a  corporation  owned,  directly  or
indirectly,  by the  stockholders  of the  Company  in  substantially  the  same
proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company.

         3.3.  Compensation  and  Benefits  Following  Termination.   Except  as
specifically provided in this Section, any and all obligations of the Company to
make payments to the Executive  under this Agreement  shall cease as of the date
the  Employment  Period  expires  under  Section  3.1  or as  of  the  date  the
Executive's  employment is terminated under Section 3.2, as the case may be. The
Executive  shall be  entitled to receive  only the  following  compensation  and
benefits following the termination of his employment hereunder:

                  (a)  Upon  Death.  In the  event  that the  Employment  Period
terminates  pursuant to Section 3.1(ii) on account of the death of the Executive
(i) the Company shall pay to the Executive's  surviving  spouse or, if none, his
estate, a lump-sum amount equal to the sum of the Executive's  earned and unpaid
salary through the date of his death, any Bonus agreed to by the Company but not
yet paid to the Executive,  additional salary in lieu of Executive's accrued and
unused  vacation,  any  unreimbursed  business  and  entertainment  expenses  in
accordance with the Company's  policies,  and any unreimbursed  employee benefit
expenses that are reimbursable in accordance with the Company's employee benefit
plans  (collectively,  the  "Standard  Termination  Payments"),  and (ii)  death
benefits,  if any, under the Company's  employee  benefit plans shall be paid to
the  Executive's   beneficiaries  as  properly  designated  in  writing  by  the
Executive.

                  (b) Upon Termination for Total  Disability.  In the event that
the Company  elects to terminate the  employment  of the  Executive  pursuant to
Section 3.2(b) because of his Total Disability, (i) the Company shall pay to the
Executive a lump-sum amount equal to the Standard  Termination Payment, and (ii)
the Executive shall be entitled to such  disability and other employee  benefits
as may be provided under the terms of the Company's employee benefit plans.

                  (c) Upon  Termination  Other  Than for Cause or Upon  Death or
Total  Disability.  In the  event  that the  Company  elects  to  terminate  the
employment  of the  Executive  pursuant  to  Section  3.2(c)  or  the  Executive
terminates under Section  3.2(d)(i) or 3.2(d)(ii),  the Company shall pay to the
Executive within 30 (thirty) days of such termination a lump-sum amount equal to
(i) the  Standard  Termination  Payment;  (ii) any bonus earned but not yet paid
under any bonus  plan then in effect at the time of  termination;  (iii) 100% of
the Annual Base Salary;  and (iv) any and all options  granted to the  Executive
(the  "Options")  shall be amended to provide for  continued  vesting for twelve
(12) months and to be exercisable for the longer of (a) twelve (12) months after
the  Termination  Date,  or (b) the  period for  exercise  upon  Termination  as
provided in the Option Agreement. Provided, however, no Option shall be extended
beyond any  Option  expiration  date or period  established  by the Option  Plan
authorizing  such Option
<PAGE>
grant. The Company shall also be obligated to provide  continued  coverage at no
cost to Executive under the Company's medical,  dental, life insurance and total
disability  benefit  plans or  arrangements  with respect to the Executive for a
period of six (6) months  following  the date of any  termination  of employment
pursuant to Section  3.2(c).  From the date of such notice of Termination  other
than for cause or upon death or Total Disability  through the Termination  Date,
the  Executive  shall  continue to perform the normal  duties of his  employment
hereunder,  and shall be  entitled  to  receive  when due all  compensation  and
benefits  applicable to the  Executive  hereunder.  The Executive  shall have no
obligation  whatsoever  to mitigate any damages,  costs or expenses  suffered or
incurred by the Company with respect to severance  obligations set forth in this
Section  3.3(c),  and no such severance  payments  received or receivable by the
Executive  shall be subject to any reduction,  offset,  rebate or repayment as a
result of any subsequent employment or other business activity by the Executive.
In addition,  for termination  pursuant to Section 3.2(c) subsequent to a Change
of Control or  3.2(d)(ii),  any and all  Options  granted  but not vested to the
Executive shall become  immediately  vested and nonforfeitable and the Executive
shall have the life of the Option to exercise such Options.

                  (d) For  Cause  or By the  Executive.  In the  event  that the
Company  terminates the  employment of the Executive  pursuant to Section 3.2(a)
for  Cause or the  Executive  terminates  his  employment  pursuant  to  Section
3.2(d)(iii),  the  Executive  shall be  entitled  to receive an amount  equal to
previously  earned but unpaid salary or bonuses  through the  effective  date of
such  termination,  as well as salary in lieu of accrued  and  unused  vacation,
entertainment  expenses in accordance with Company  policies,  and  reimbursable
employee plan benefits.

         3.4. Survival of Non-Competition  and Confidentiality  Agreements.  Any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary  notwithstanding,  if the employment
of the Executive  hereunder is terminated  for any reason,  the  provisions  and
covenants of Sections 4 and 5 hereof shall nevertheless remain in full force and
effect in accordance with their respective terms.

         3.5 Company Property. Upon termination,  Executive shall be entitled to
retain as his own property all telephones provided to Executive for his personal
use during his period of employment.

4. NON-COMPETITION, NON-HIRE, AND NON-DISPARAGEMENT.

         4.1.     Scope.

                  (a) The Executive covenants and agrees that during the term of
this  Agreement  and for so long as he remains an  employee  of the  Company and
thereafter  for a period of 12 months  following  termination  of this Agreement
(the  "Non-Competition  Period"),  he will not,  nor will he permit any  person,
firm,  corporation,  partnership  or other  entity that  directly or  indirectly
controls,  is  controlled  by or is under  common  control  with  the  Executive
(collectively, "Affiliate") to, directly or indirectly:
<PAGE>
                           (i)      solicit for  employment  any employee of the
Company  (and it shall be  presumed  to be a  violation  of this  covenant  if a
subsequent  employer  of  Executive  hires an  employee  of the  Company  unless
Executive  can  demonstrate  to  Company's  reasonable   satisfaction  that  the
Executive had no knowledge of or participation in the solicitation and hiring of
the employee);

                           (ii)  solicit  the  business  of any  customer of the
Company  with  respect  to  businesses  of the type  referred  to in  subsection
4.1(a)(iii) hereof;

                           (iii) engage in any business of the type conducted as
of the date  hereof by the  Company,  which  shall be  limited  to home  banking
software and consumer telecommunications equipment;

                           (iv) engage in any business  substantially similar to
that of the Company in a geographic  area within fifty (50) miles of the Company
headquarters at which the Executive was previously located;

                           (v) make any  direct or  indirect  investment  in any
person, firm, corporation,  partnership or other entity that engages or proposes
to engage in the business of the Company; or

                           (vi) make any comments, whether written or unwritten,
which  disparage the services and products  provided by the Company or which are
critical of the performance or professionalism of the officers,  employees,  and
Boards of Directors of the Company and any affiliated companies.

provided  however,  that this  Section  shall not be  construed  to prohibit the
Executive from owning less than an aggregate of 5% of any class of capital stock
of  any  corporation  that  is  traded  on a  national  securities  exchange  or
inter-dealer quotation system.

                  (b)  A  breach  of  this   provision  will   irreparably   and
continually  damage the Company in an amount which may be difficult to quantify.
Executive  therefore  agrees that in the event he breaches any of the provisions
of Section  4.1(a),  he will pay the  Company  the sum of $50,000 in  liquidated
damages for each occasion of breach.  Executive acknowledges that this amount is
a reasonable  approximation of the damages the Company is likely to incur due to
his breach.

         4.2.  Enforcement  and  Construction.  If in any judicial  proceeding a
court shall  refuse to enforce as written the covenant set forth in Section 4.1,
then such covenant  shall be limited and restricted in scope and duration to the
extent  necessary  to  make  such  covenant,   as  so  limited  and  restricted,
enforceable.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  it is the intent and agreement of
the parties that Section 4.1 be given the maximum force, effect, and application
permissible under applicable law.
<PAGE>
         4.3.  Limitations.  The restrictions set forth above shall  immediately
terminate  and shall be of no further  force or effect in the event of a default
by the Company in the payment of compensation or benefits to which the Executive
is entitled  hereunder,  which  default is not cured  within ten (10) days after
written notice thereof to the Company.

5.       CONFIDENTIALITY.

         (a) Except as specifically  authorized by the Company in writing,  from
the date hereof and continuing  forever,  the Executive agrees that he will not,
directly or indirectly,  (i) disclose any  Confidential  Information (as defined
below) to any  person or  entity,  or  otherwise  permit any person or entity to
obtain or disclose any  Confidential  Information,  or (ii) use any Confidential
Information for the Executive's  benefit,  whether  directly or on behalf of any
person or entity.  In the event that the  Executive is requested or required (by
oral question or request for  information or documents in any legal  proceeding,
interrogatory,  subpoena,  civil  investigation  demand or similar  process)  to
disclose  any  Confidential  Information,  he will notify the  Company  within a
reasonable  period of time of the request or requirement so that the Company may
seek an appropriate  protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of
this  Section 5. If, in the  absence of a  protective  order or the receipt of a
waiver  hereunder,  the  Executive,  on the advice of counsel,  is  compelled to
disclose any  Confidential  Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for
contempt,  the  Executive  shall use his  reasonable  efforts to obtain,  at the
request of the Company, an order or other assurance that confidential  treatment
will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential  Information required to be
disclosed as the Company shall designate.

         (b) For purposes hereof, the term "Confidential  Information" means (i)
information concerning trade secrets of the Company; (ii) information concerning
existing or contemplated products, services, technology,  designs, processes and
research or product  developments of the Company;  (iii) information  concerning
business plans, sales or marketing methods, methods of doing business,  customer
lists,  customer  usages and/or  requirements,  or supplier  information  of the
Company;  and (iv) any other  confidential  information  which the  Company  may
reasonably  have the right to  protect  by  patent,  copyright  or by keeping it
secret or confidential.  The term "Confidential  Information" will not, however,
include  information  which  (a) at the  time of  disclosure  or  thereafter  is
generally  available  to and known by the  public  (other  than as a result of a
disclosure  directly  or  indirectly  by the  Executive  in  violation  of  this
Agreement),  (b) at the time of disclosure  was  available on a  nonconfidential
basis from a source  other than the Company,  or (c) was known by the  Executive
prior to receiving  the  Confidential  Information  from the Company or has been
independently  acquired or developed by the Executive  without  violating any of
the Executive's respective obligations under this Agreement.
