ESC Loyalty Adopts New Name

Re-brands as TSYS Loyalty and Defines Primary Service Offerings

Boca Raton, Fla., and Alpharetta, Ga., April 23, 2007 — Enhancement Services Corporation^SM (ESC Loyalty^SM), the loyalty services company of TSYS^®, announced today, at the 19th Annual Card Forum and Expo in Boca Raton, Fla., the re-branding of the company as TSYS Loyalty, effective April 20, 2007.

“For the past ten years, ESC Loyalty has been recognized by the clients we serve as a leader of loyalty marketing and technology solutions,” says Lars Holmquist, president of TSYS Loyalty. “Since being purchased by TSYS in 2003, the integration of our services has progressed to a great degree. Naturally, we felt this should be evidenced in our company name.”

As part of the re-brand, TSYS Loyalty has transitioned from a rewards fulfillment provider, which helped redeem loyalty points for merchandise or travel, to a full service loyalty and consulting partner with a sophisticated set of data analytics to help issuers get the right card, to the right customer, at the right time. Its service offerings are now aligned under three key areas: loyalty consulting, loyalty points processing and rewards fulfillment.
