TSYS Ranked No. 8 Among Top 100 Providers of Financial Technology

Columbus, Ga., Oct. 29, 2009 — TSYS announced today that it ranked No. 8 on the FinTech 100, an international listing of the top 100 global application/service providers in the financial services market. The rankings represent companies that derive at least 33 percent of their revenue from the financial services industry. TSYS ranked No. 9 on the list in 2008.

"Being ranked in the top 10 of the FinTech 100 is a testament to the strength of our company during this trying time in the global economy," said Philip W. Tomlinson, chairman and chief executive officer of TSYS. "The ranking is a direct result of our world-class technology and products, a well-earned reputation of leadership in our business and a passionate and diverse workforce."

The FinTech 100 is a collaborative effort between American Banker, Bank Technology News and Financial Insights, a research firm. The ranking of the top vendors is categorized and evaluated based on calendar year-end revenues and the percentage of revenues attributed exclusively to financial services.

The FinTech 100 appears in a special report to be included in the October 29 issue of American Banker. For more information about the rankings, go to www.AmericanBanker.com/fintech100.
