Banks.com, Inc. (NYSE Amex:BNX), (the “Company”, “Banks.com”) leading operator of financial services focused media properties and search related websites, today announced it has selected Burr Pilger Mayer, Inc. (“BPM”) to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. BPM replaces the Company's previous independent registered accountants, Hacker, Johnson & Smith P.A. (“Hacker, Johnson”).

"We have always enjoyed a very positive relationship with Hacker, Johnson and are grateful for the excellent work they have done for us over the years," said Dan O’Donnell, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Banks.com. "However, as the largest CPA firm based in California, we believe BPM is a better fit for us as we move forward. In addition, BPM has extensive relevant experience through their broad client base in internet media.”

The change was recommended by the Company’s Audit Committee. The Company and Hacker, Johnson did not have any disagreement on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Hacker, Johnson, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its report on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
