                              eFUNDS CORPORATION
             NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS DEFERRED COMPENSATION PROGRAM

     1.   Purposes of the Program. The purposes of the eFunds Corporation Non-
Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Program (the "Program") are to provide
a method of deferring payment to non-employee directors of eFunds Corporation
("eFunds") of all or a part of their retainer and/or meeting fees, as fixed from
time to time by the Board of Directors of eFunds (the "Board"), and an
opportunity to increase their ownership of eFunds Common Stock ("Common Stock").
Under the Program, a director may elect to defer the receipt of any or all of
his or her annual cash retainer and/or meeting fees, including committee meeting
fees (the retainer and meeting fees together, "Director Fees"), which will be
paid in the form of shares of Common Stock following the director's termination
of services on the Board. Shares of Common Stock to be issued under the Program
will be issued pursuant to the eFunds Corporation 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, as
amended ("Stock Incentive Plan").

     2.   Eligibility. Directors of eFunds who are not also officers or other
employees of eFunds or any of its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in
this Program ("Eligible Directors").

     3.   Plan Periods. The first Plan Period shall commence on April 1, 2001
and end on December 31, 2001. Each subsequent Plan Period shall commence on
January 1 and end on December 31.

     4.   Administration. This Program shall be administered by a committee of
the Board pursuant to the Stock Incentive Plan (the "Committee").

     5.   Deferral Election.
          -----------------

     5.1. Manner of Making Deferral Election. An Eligible Director may elect to
defer payment of his or her Director Fees to be earned during any Plan Period by
filing an election with the Committee, on a form provided by the Committee for
that purpose ("Deferral Election"), prior to the first day of such Plan Period;
provided, however, that an individual who becomes an Eligible Director upon his
or her initial election to the Board shall have 30 days following his or her
initial election to make a Deferral Election, which shall apply only with
respect to services as a director provided following the filing of such Deferral
Election with the Committee. The Deferral Election form shall specify a
percentage up to 100% of the Director Fees to be deferred. Each Deferral
Election shall be irrevocable and shall remain in effect until changed or
rescinded. Prior to the beginning of any subsequent Plan Period, an Eligible
Director may irrevocably elect in writing to change an earlier election by
filing a new Deferral Election with the
<PAGE>

Committee. The new election shall become effective on the first day of the
subsequent Plan Period.

     5.2.  Credits to Deferred Stock Account. On each March 31, June 30,
September 30 and December 31 (each a "Payment Date") an Eligible Director who
has made an effective Deferral Election (a "Participant") shall receive a credit
in the form of restricted stock units ("Stock Units") to his or her account
("Deferred Stock Account"). Each Stock Unit shall represent the right to receive
one share of Common Stock. The number of whole and fractional Stock Units
credited to a Participant's Deferred Stock Account shall be determined by
dividing the amount of the Participant's Director Fees payable on each Payment
Date and specified for deferral pursuant to Section 5.1 by the Fair Market Value
(as defined below) of a share of Common Stock on such Payment Date (computed to
four decimal places).

     5.3.  Dividend Equivalent Payments. Any time a cash dividend is paid on the
Common Stock, a Participant who has Stock Units in his or her Deferred Stock
Account shall receive a dividend equivalent payment ("Dividend Equivalent") on
the dividend payment date equal to the amount of the dividend payable on a
single share of Common Stock multiplied by the number of Stock Units credited to
the Participant's Deferred Stock Account on the dividend record date. The
Dividend Equivalent shall be converted to additional whole and fractional Stock
Units (computed to four decimal places) in the number determined by dividing the
amount of the Dividend Equivalent by the Fair Market Value of one share of
Common Stock on the dividend payment date.

     5.4.  Fair Market Value. The Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock
shall be equal to the last sale price of one share of Common Stock on the Nasdaq
National Market ("Nasdaq") on the relevant date as reported by Nasdaq; provided
that if, on such date, the Nasdaq is not open for business or there are no
shares of Common Stock traded on such date, the Fair Market Value of a share of
Common Stock shall be equal to the last sale price of one share of Common Stock
on the first day preceding such date on which the Nasdaq is open for business
and has reported trades in the Common Stock.

     6.    Payment of Stock.
           ----------------

     6.1.  Payment of Deferred Stock Account in a Lump Sum. Payment from a
Participant's Deferred Stock Account shall be in shares of Common Stock. The
shares of Common Stock available for issuance under this Program shall be issued
under, and in accordance with the terms of, the Stock Incentive Plan. Upon
payment, one share of Common Stock shall be issued for each Stock Unit, except
that no fractional shares shall be issued, and the Participant shall receive a
cash payment in lieu of any fractional share. Payment shall be made of the
entire amount in a Participant's Deferred Stock Account within 30 days after the
date of the Participant's termination of service on the Board.

     6.2.  Payment to Beneficiary. In the event that a Participant dies before
payment of his or her Deferred Stock Account, shares shall be issued to the
Participant's

                                       2
<PAGE>

beneficiary within 30 days of the Committee's notice of the Participant's death.
A Participant may designate one or more beneficiaries who, upon death, are to
receive the benefits that otherwise would have been paid to the Participant and
may change or revoke any such designation from time to time. No such
designation, change or revocation shall be effective unless executed by the
Participant and delivered to the Committee during the Participant's lifetime.
Unless the Participant has otherwise specified in the beneficiary designation,
the beneficiary or beneficiaries so designated shall become fixed as of death so
that, if a beneficiary survives the Participant but dies before the receipt of
all payments due such beneficiary, such remaining payments shall be payable to
such beneficiary's estate. If a Participant does not designate a beneficiary
pursuant to this Section 6.2, or if for any reason such designation is
ineffective, in whole or in part, then the benefits that otherwise would have
been paid to the Participant (or the part thereof as to which the designation is
ineffective, as the case may be) shall be paid to the Participant's estate and,
in such event, the term "beneficiary" shall include such estate.

     7.   Limitation on Rights of Eligible Directors and Participants. Nothing
in this Program will interfere with or limit in any way the rights of the Board
or the stockholders of eFunds not to nominate for re-election, elect or remove
an Eligible Director or Participant. Neither this Program nor any action taken
pursuant to it will constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding,
express or implied, that eFunds or its Board or stockholders have retained or
will retain an Eligible Director or Participant for any period of time or at any
particular rate of compensation.

     8.   Program Amendments, Modifications and Termination. The Committee may
amend, suspend or terminate this Program at any time.

     9.   Effective Date and Duration of the Program. This Program shall become
effective on April 1, 2001 and shall continue, unless terminated by action of
the Committee, until the expiration or termination of the Stock Incentive Plan,
provided that the expiration or termination of this Program shall not affect any
rights of Participants with respect to their Deferred Stock Accounts, which
shall continue to be governed by the provisions of this Program until final
payment of all Deferred Stock Accounts.

     10.  Participants are General Creditors of eFunds. Participants and their
beneficiaries shall be general, unsecured creditors of eFunds with respect to
any payments to be made pursuant to this Program and shall not have any
preferred interest by way of trust, escrow, lien or otherwise in any specific
assets of eFunds. If eFunds shall, in fact, elect to set aside monies or other
assets to meet its obligations hereunder (there being no obligation to do so),
whether in a grantor trust or otherwise, the same shall, nevertheless, be
regarded as a part of the general assets of eFunds subject to the claims of its
general creditors, and neither any Participants nor any of their beneficiaries
shall have a legal, beneficial or security interest therein.

     11.    Miscellaneous.
            -------------

     11.1.  Securities Laws and Other Restrictions. Shares of Common Stock to be
delivered in payment of Deferred Stock Accounts under this Program shall be
subject to such restrictions as the Committee may deem advisable under the Stock
Incentive Plan, any applicable securities laws, rules or regulations or other
regulatory requirements, and the Committee may cause appropriate entries to be
made or legends to be placed on the certificates for the shares of Common Stock
to reflect such restrictions.

     11.2.  Nontransferability. No Common Stock or Stock Units issued or granted
under this Program and no rights with respect to such Common Stock or Stock
Units shall be transferable by a Participant other than by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution; provided, however, that a Participant may designate
a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any property or cash payable with
respect to the Participant's Deferred Stock Account upon the death of the
Participant, as described in Section 6.2 hereof. Except as provided in this
Section 11.2, no Stock Unit or rights under any such Stock Unit may be pledged,
alienated, attached or otherwise encumbered, and any purported pledge,
alienation, attachment or encumbrance thereof shall be void and unenforceable
against eFunds or any of its affiliates.

                                                                   Exhibit 10.39

                          Description of Compensation
                      Program for Non-Employee Directors

  Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive compensation for
their service on the Board other than their compensation as employees. During
2000, Directors who were not employees of the Company ("Independent Directors")
each received a $15,000 annual board retainer, meeting fees of $1,000 and
committee chair fees of $2,500. In addition to the foregoing, Independent
Directors may receive compensation for the performance of duties assigned by the
Board or its Committees that are considered beyond the scope of the ordinary
responsibilities of Directors or Committee members.

  In February 2001, the Company adopted the eFunds Corporation Non-Employee
Directors Deferred Compensation Program (the "Director Plan"). The purpose of
the Director Plan is to provide an opportunity for Independent Directors to
increase their ownership of Common Stock and thereby align their interest in the
long-term success of the Company with that of the Company's other stockholders.
Under the Director Plan, each Independent Director may, commencing in April
2001, elect to receive his or her board and committee fees in restricted stock
rights in lieu of cash (with each restricted stock right being deemed to have a
value equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of
issuance of the restricted stock right). The restricted stock rights are
credited to the Directors participating in the Director Plan quarterly and will
vest and be converted into shares of Common Stock when the Director ceases to
serve as a member of the Board. Each restricted stock right receives dividend
equivalent payments equal to any cash dividend payments on one share of Common
Stock. The restricted stock rights and any shares of Common Stock into which
they are converted will be issued under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Each Independent Director is to receive an annual option grant having an imputed
value of $50,000 and each of Messrs. Boyle, Tyabji and Robinson received a non-
qualified option to purchase 7,692 shares of Common Stock under the Stock
Incentive Plan immediately prior to the consummation of our initial public
offering pursuant to this program. The options issued to the Independent
Directors vest in equal annual installments over a two year period following the
date of grant and expire on the tenth anniversary of such date. The options also
terminate three months following the date upon which a participant ceases to be
a Director of the Company. For 2001, Messrs. Boyle, Tyabji and Robinson (each of
whom joined the Board in June 2000) each received an option for 3,846 shares and
Ms. Penrose and Ms. Clarke (each of whom joined the Board in December 2000) each
received options for 7,692 shares.
