TSYS continues to broaden its client base. Our 2003 processing agreement with Bank One, the world’s largest Visa issuer, is tangible proof of that, as are new agreements with CIBC, Sears Canada and Pitney Bowes. Bank One brings us more than 50 million new cardmembers — consumers who charge more than $155 billion a year on their Visa cards. These new relationships bring something more significant: proof that our strategy for the future is sound. Because at TSYS, we look at the payments market in a larger context. So our growth strategy focuses on leading financial institutions. In fact, today TSYS services the card-processing needs for five of the world’s top-10, card-issuing banks. In the midst of industry-wide consolidation, these financial titans look to leverage their scale and the marketing benefits of TS2.
