TORONTO, September 10, 2001 - Belzberg Technologies, Inc (TSE: BLZ) announced
today the appointment of Mr. Jim Marks as its new President. In this newly
created position, Mr. Marks will be responsible for operational management, as
well as developing strategic initiatives to further Belzberg's impressive record
of growth. Mr. Marks will be joining the company September 19th.

"I am delighted that Jim will be joining our management team," said CEO Sid

entrepreneurial management experience. His decision to leave his respected spot
in equity analysis and join Belzberg underscores the depth of the opportunity in
front of our company."

Mr. Marks pioneered the coverage of online brokerage and banking stocks in 1996
and has been the leading analyst covering financial technology stocks since
then. Prior to joining Belzberg, he was a Director at Credit Suisse First Boston
and, before that, Managing Director at Deutsche Banc Alex Brown. Prior to
becoming a sell-side analyst, in 1987, Mr. Marks helped found and manage SNL
Securities. SNL Securities is a database company specializing in providing
online information and other data services on financial stocks to institutional
investors.

"Technology's impact on financial markets is creating monumental change," said
Mr. Marks, who has been named by Future Banker magazine as one of the 25 most
influential personalities in financial services. "Belzberg Technologies is
perfectly positioned to take advantage of the opportunities created by that
change. I am incredibly enthusiastic about having the chance to help Belzberg
leverage its industry-leading trading technology to drive substantial benefits
to institutional clients--and to shareholders. I look forward to working with
Sid and the rest of the talented employees at this exciting company."
