Your success.
That’s the 
point of 2.0

Fiserv 2.0 is our 
blueprint for the 
future. It’s centered on 
delivering greater value, 
opportunity and growth 
for clients, shareholders 
and employees alike. This 
long-term strategy places 
an intense focus on clients 
– delivering solutions that 
are responsive to their 
needs. The following stories 
provide a glimpse into  
how our technology and 
services solutions enable 
best-in-class results for  
our clients – and add value 
to their businesses.  

Client success. 
That’s the point of 2.0.  

Banking on aggressive growth. For Connecticut-based NewAlliance Bank, taking the company 
public in 2004 was the springboard for a four-fold increase in assets and the addition of 60 bank branches in 

just three years.  

In its quest to expand its distribution capability, NewAlliance needed a technology platform that would enable 

it to integrate major acquisitions and support internal growth.      

“We were transforming the organization from a mutual bank to a public company. We wanted to change 

our products and pricing, as well as expand our footprint in Connecticut and western Massachusetts. 

We had many questions going into this growth strategy about the existing Fiserv platform. We sat 

down with Fiserv and discussed their long-term strategy to see if it aligned with ours,” says  

Gail E. D. Brathwaite, executive vice president and chief operating officer of NewAlliance Bank.    

Fiserv responded with a strong team and the VISION core processing solution, a flexible product  

designed specifically for growth-oriented financial institutions. Not only does the system power  

the bank’s acquisitions and new branches, it also supports the strong sales culture and cross-selling 

strategies at NewAlliance.   

“Acquisitions are complicated, and the Fiserv team was right there, helping us through  

four seamless conversions,” says Brathwaite. “Fiserv continues to make sure we have the 

new products we need to grow the business, such as Internet banking and the new  

relationship pricing module. We’ve grown from $2.2 billion in assets in 2004 to  
$8.2 billion in 2007. Fiserv’s unwavering support during our rapid growth 

was critical to our successful data and system integrations.”

Many of those requirements support the movement of payments – including electronic banking and bill pay,

Fiserv is behind the scenes ensuring that the bank’s electronic bill pay transactions – which in total grew 

350,000 e-bills each month on that system.

by 26% last year – move smoothly.

Says Jeff von Gillern, executive vice president and chief information officer: “We are aggressively moving  

to both converge and electronify payments through all of our customer channels, and we see Fiserv as a solid 

strategic partner in this evolution. Fiserv is a market leader in delivering check processing and ACH services,  

and is committed to making the needed capital investments to maintain their leadership edge. We believe 

this partnership can result in innovative product offerings for our customers as we focus on intensifying and 

deepening our customer relationships.

“We’ve historically had strong, strategic relationships with Fiserv,” adds von Gillern. “We believe the company is 

well positioned to help us move forward with an expanded relationship, particularly in light of the recent strategic

acquisition they’ve made with CheckFree, including the Carreker and Corillian product lines.”

“ To grow our e-bill usage, we need a variety of  

options. As a leader in bill payment and e-billing, 
CheckFree was a logical first step.”

Ensuring the insurer. For the nation’s largest publicly held personal line insurer to live up to its “good 
hands” commitment, Allstate Insurance looks to Fiserv to support its technology needs.

Bringing a wide scope of technology solutions to this $37 billion Fortune 500 company, Fiserv supports Allstate’s 

direct-bank core system processing needs; offers training and compliance expertise for its network of independent 

agents; supplies product-specific solutions for the Allstate Workplace Division’s suite of voluntary benefit products; 

and recently beefed up Allstate’s electronic billing capabilities.

“Fiserv’s Life Portraits Enterprise Solution – which we brand AllApp – has revolutionized our business,” says 

Charles Baggs, executive vice president and chief administration officer for Allstate Workplace Division, which 

markets voluntary benefits to employers primarily through independent agents and Allstate exclusive agents.

AllApp allows agents to collect and enroll voluntary benefit applicants with near “error-free” capability at the point 

of sale, producing virtual automated underwriting.

“Since we went to full production of this solution in 2004, we’ve increased our electronic data collection from 

10% to 66%,” says Baggs, “and we’ve shortened policy turnaround time by 80%.”

Allstate’s Rich Heneberry, who heads the company’s marketing efforts, recently engaged Fiserv’s CheckFree unit 

to enhance the company’s ability to deliver bills more efficiently and at reduced cost. He says about 650,000 of its 

32 million policyholders have been using some type of electronic billing and payment solution, but wants to grow 

that 2% penetration ten-fold over the next five years. “To grow our e-bill usage, we need a variety of options,” 

says Heneberry. “As a leader in bill payment and e-billing, CheckFree was a logical first step.”

“We focus on delivering a broad portfolio of products in a streamlined, easy-to-do-business-with fashion that 

always places a premium on the Allstate brand,” comments Baggs. “The Fiserv relationship helps us fulfill all of the 

components of this value proposition.”

Core system conversion! For a financial institution, these three words can strike fear. Fortunately,  
for Digital Federal Credit Union (DCU), a fast-growing $4 billion-asset credit union headquartered in  

Marlborough, Mass., “resounding success” was how they characterized their late-2007 core system conversion  

to Fiserv XP Systems’ core processing platform.

“We’d been on our core legacy processing system for 21 years when we started looking to upgrade,” says Carlo 

Cestra, DCU’s president and CEO. “We were looking for a new environment that would last at least another 20 

years from a provider that was truly committed to investing in technology.”

As the “digital” portion of their name suggests, DCU’s 330,000 members place heavy reliance on electronic  

solutions, with 54% of members accessing Internet banking applications and 16% – well above the  

national average – paying bills online. So the core system they selected had to mesh with these important  

applications and provide the features and functionality that its sophisticated member base would appreciate.

The 26-hour conversion to XP Systems in December 2007 brought seven major new systems live in tandem.  

It spanned all of DCU’s operations and remote delivery services throughout its 18-branch network. The conversion 

began on a Saturday, and by Sunday afternoon more than 100,000 new transactions were posted. On Monday,  

it was business as usual for DCU, with more than 20 million financial and non-financial transactions posted  

within 48 hours. 

The key to this sweeping technology change, says Cestra, was extensive preparation by the DCU and  

XP Systems teams. “Conversions don’t get any better than this. We kept the call center open and our  
Internet banking and electronic services going all weekend. But the best part was opening the doors  

a day ahead of schedule.” 

Cestra says the new Fiserv system will allow for expansion. “Soon, we’ll be adding remote deposits,  

health savings accounts and new online features. We look forward to working with XP Systems on a steady 

stream of innovations that will further benefit our members.”

“We were looking for a new environment that would 
last at least another 20 years from a provider that 
was truly committed to investing in technology.”

Taking care of business. Earning the ranking as the nation’s “Top Business Bank” in 2007 by U.S. 
Banker Magazine shows just how well Citizens Business Bank of Ontario, Calif., takes care of its customers.

With more than $6 billion in assets, the bank has a single focus: providing the financial backbone customers 

need to grow their businesses and achieve their own measure of success.

“We cater to a market niche where the demands are high and the quality of service must be exceptional.  

In order to understand our customers’ needs, we have to understand their businesses,” says Chris Myers, 

president and CEO of Citizens Business Bank. “Fiserv takes the same approach in its relationship with us.”

Relying on Fiserv ITI for its core banking technology, Citizens Business Bank has significantly improved 

efficiency, smoothly integrated acquisitions and added new levels of customer automation. But that’s just  

the beginning. “I don’t think anyone else has the capability to integrate financial technology the way  

Fiserv does today. We are continually taking advantage of new technology solutions from Fiserv as they 

are developed,” says Myers.  

One of these recent enhancements is Premier® Customer View. This technology aggregates 

multiple customer databases into one view, enabling relationship managers to track contacts, 

maintain and share customer information, and cross-sell services to bring even more value to  

the customer experience.      

The bank uses another Fiserv product, BancIntelligence, to help target potential acquisitions  
and provide a wealth of competitive data to track peer-group performance and support new  

product offerings.  

“Our overall customer satisfaction level is always better than 90%, and we consistently rank as  

one of the top performing banks in California. Fiserv has helped us achieve this,” adds Myers.  

“We are continually taking advantage of  
new technology solutions from Fiserv as  
they are developed.”

“ We saw the opportunity not only to ‘go green,’ 
but also to realize the cost-savings potential of 
electronic billing.”

Doubling e-bill enrollment. For a company accustomed to moving electricity, natural gas and steam,  
moving to electronic billing was a short stroll.

So, when Fiserv client, Consolidated Edison Company of New York Inc. (Con Edison), saw an opportunity to 

realize significant cost savings and improve customer relationships by increasing customer adoption of “e-bills,” 

the challenge became, “How can we convince customers to sign up?”

The solution: a comprehensive, multi-channel marketing campaign jointly developed by Con Edison 

and CheckFree to explain how saving time, reducing clutter and helping the environment outweighed 

customer concerns about giving up their paper bills. Drawing on Con Edison’s long-standing commitment 

to the environment, the campaign conveyed a “go green with e-bills” message across numerous 

channels to the company’s 3.2 million electric customers in New York City and Westchester County, N.Y.

“With the rapid rise in consumer awareness of environmental issues, we saw the opportunity not only 

to ‘go green,’ but also to realize the cost-savings potential of electronic billing,” says George Roach, 

who leads Con Edison’s e-bill initiatives. “We’ve used CheckFree’s electronic bill payment product for 

six years, so we already had the technology in place to leverage the initiative.”

The results are impressive. In the first seven months of the campaign, e-bill enrollment 

doubled each month. More than 125,000 customers now receive their bills 

electronically and Con Edison plans to include the “go green with e-bills” 

theme in every customer communication.

“With more customers paying their bills online, we’re minimizing 

costs, making bill payment safer and easier for our customers, 

and helping the environment. That’s a pretty powerful case for 

electronic billing,” adds Roach.

Opportunity often starts with a vision. For Tony Renzi, chief operating 
officer and executive vice president of GMAC ResCap‘s Residential Finance Group, that 

vision was a single technology platform that could support all mortgage and consumer 

loans, regardless of secondary market requirements and brand name. To make that vision 

a reality, GMAC ResCap looked to Fiserv. 

In 2004, the vision quest began with GMAC ResCap’s migration of 2.4 million loans onto 

the Fiserv Loan Servicing Platform – one of the largest portfolio conversions in mortgage 

industry history. Then, in 2007, the mega-servicer finished the consolidation of its  

back-office technology by converting the 1.2 million mortgage and home equity line 

portfolios of Homecomings Financial to the platform.

“We now have one workforce, one workflow and one platform managing the day-to-day 

servicing activities for all of our mortgage and home equity loans,” says Renzi. 

With a servicing portfolio of more than $460 billion, GMAC ResCap is the seventh

largest mortgage servicer and one of the largest sub-servicers in the United States. 

The company routinely supports mortgage and consumer loans and numerous brands 

on the Fiserv Loan Servicing Platform.

“We are positioned to quickly implement new products, support investor demand and 

provide outsourced servicing at efficient economics. Our technology partnership with 

Fiserv will continue to assist us as we seek out new growth opportunities,” adds Renzi.

Banking with a personal touch. That’s the approach that San Antonio-based Broadway Bank has taken since its 
inception in 1941. Building this personalized approach and a reputation for lasting customer relationships has challenged the 

bank to create individualized offerings that go beyond the typical menu of financial products. 

To deliver on the promise of personal touch, in 2002, Broadway Bank selected Fiserv as its strategic technology partner “for the 

next 10 to 15 years,” says Jim Goudge, CEO of Broadway Bank. Since then, the bank has assembled a vast portfolio of Fiserv 

core and other integrated financial service products, from EFT to item processing solutions to CheckFree bill pay and Carreker 

professional services solutions.

”Fiserv is a strategic partner that assists us in remaining competitive in a dynamic and growing marketplace,” says Goudge. 

“Our Fiserv collaboration provides the essential tools necessary to deliver a heightened customer relationship. In addition, Fiserv 

provides multiple technology solutions operating in a seamless fashion, with the flexibility to run those solutions in-house or 

in an outsourced environment. And as we grow, we have a partner to help us manage our data processing expense and build 

stronger individual customer relationships.”

As part of its partnership, Broadway Bank serves on a Fiserv Client Advisory Board, which advises Fiserv on products and  

implementation strategies.

“We participate in monthly meetings with other active users of Fiserv products to share our experiences and discuss challenges,” 

says Sharon Lewis, executive vice president, deposit operations & channel delivery of Broadway Bank. “During these meetings, 

Fiserv provides us with product and service updates to address our concerns. It’s another way Fiserv adds value to our business and, 

ultimately, to our customers. And it’s a conduit that I have to other professionals in the industry who face similar challenges.”

Broadway Bank is a full-service financial institution that offers a wide array of financial solutions in San Antonio and the surrounding 

communities. It has 36 banking center locations, seven of which are dedicated to military banking through its military division -  

Eisenhower Bank. Broadway Bank has more than 63,000 accounts and its asset size is currently $1.76 billion and growing.

“Fiserv provides multiple technology solutions operating 
in a seamless fashion, with the flexibility to run those 
solutions in-house or in an outsourced environment.”

“Fiserv and CheckFree are both  
industry leaders. Now that the  
two companies are together, our  
relationship will continue to deepen.”

Defining customer value. BB&T Corporation is one of the fastest growing financial 
holding companies in the United States. In the past 20 years, the Winston-Salem, N.C.-based bank 

has acquired 60 community banks and thrifts, more than 85 insurance agencies and 35 non-bank 

financial services companies, en route to gaining top five market share in the majority of its markets 

throughout the southeastern U.S. 

Fiserv units CheckFree and Carreker (which CheckFree acquired in April 2007) have played an 

important role in that expansion.

“Our long-term relationships with CheckFree and Carreker have given us the tools and support 

we need to digest and assimilate this high volume of acquisitions, along with enabling organic 

growth,” says Joe Brannan, executive vice president, processing services manager of BB&T.   

“We use 20 different products from CheckFree and Carreker, ranging from back-office applications 

to transaction processing, and from electronic bill pay to consulting services. All of these products 

e
u
a
v

l

and services help us increase revenues and reduce expenses. Most important, they enable us to 

compete effectively with some of the largest banks in the country,” says Bennett Bradley, executive 

vice president, payment solutions manager of BB&T.

Two examples illustrate the point. Since 2000, the bank has generated $70 million in revenues 

through consulting services and software provided by Carreker.  In addition, Carreker business 

consulting and software products helped BB&T gain efficiencies and a competitive edge in the 
payments arena by transitioning BB&T from paper-laden payments to a digital process,  

including distributive capture.  

“We are not a price or technology leader – we are a customer value-driven leader. We align 

our company with vendor partners who take a similar approach. The products are always 

important, but equally significant is the quality of the customer service,” says Brannan.

“Fiserv and CheckFree are both industry leaders. Now that the two companies are together, 

our relationship will continue to deepen,” says Bradley.

Financing the agricultural market. “Nothing Runs Like A Deere™.” And no company 
provides revolving credit for customers of equipment and input dealers and manufacturers like  

John Deere Credit.

One of the nation’s largest equipment finance companies, John Deere Credit facilitates the growth of 

its dealers by financing the purchase of agricultural, lawn and garden equipment, parts and repairs by 

consumer, commercial and government accounts.  In the agricultural market, John Deere Credit also 

enables farmers to purchase feed, seed, fertilizers and chemicals that are critical to their success. 

With more than a million customers, the company processes more than 10 million revolving credit 

transactions annually, financing purchases in the U.S. and Canada in excess of $4 billion each year.  

The Fiserv PLUS™ revolving credit platform used to process these transactions is similar to those used 

for credit cards – but with significant customization.

“Two years ago, we completely redesigned our Farm Plan product for the agricultural market,” says 

Mark Thompson, vice president of the agricultural financial services group of John Deere Credit.  

“Fiserv worked closely with us to develop a one-of-a-kind, integrated solution that has resulted in 

double-digit product growth for us.  In a market where the number of farms is shrinking, that’s quite 

an achievement.”

Adds Jayma Sandquist, director of sales and marketing: “Consolidation of farmers and the dealers 

that supply them is changing the agricultural market.  There are fewer accounts, but on average, they 
are larger and more sophisticated. And with the increasing cost of putting crops into the ground, 

dollar volumes are higher.  We rely on Fiserv’s flexibility to provide customized credit programs for our 

diversified and fast-changing market, while delivering speed and convenience for our customers.”

fellow shareholders: 

2007 was a year of action. 
During the last year, we took important strides for the 
future. Some actions got headlines; others did not. The 
highlights include driving strong results in our initial year 
of Fiserv 2.0 execution, exiting businesses where we 
lacked competitive advantage, and completing our  
$4.4 billion acquisition of CheckFree 
Corporation. Through these actions, we 
intentionally re-shaped the company – 
equipping ourselves with the premier 
suite of technology solutions to serve 
the evolving needs of the financial 
services industry and its consumers.

We entered the year with significant 
momentum resulting from the launch 
of Fiserv 2.0, our strategic framework 
for the future. That plan serves as a platform 

for our overarching objective to provide Fiserv clients 
with highly valued products and integrated technology 
solutions, to enable them to best serve their customers. 
We are 100% committed to that belief. By putting our 
clients at the center of the Fiserv universe, we should 
provide very attractive long-term returns for  

our shareholders.

Our first full year of executing against  

our Fiserv 2.0 strategies was a success. 
We exceeded our integrated sales

We managed capital proactively and 
added appropriate leverage to our 
balance sheet in connection with the 
CheckFree acquisition. We also added 
several key leaders to help us accomplish  

our long-term objectives. 

“ Inside the halls of the company we refer to ourselves 
as ‘The New Fiserv’ to reflect the vast opportunities  
we believe await us.”

“ We served more clients, and built more value, than ever before.”

The biggest news of the year occurred on August 2, 2007 
when we announced our acquisition of CheckFree. This 
acquisition punctuated our commitment to providing the 
best technology solutions for clients. It also underscored 
the importance of expanding our leadership position 
in payments, Internet banking and risk management 
solutions. The combination of Fiserv and CheckFree 
forever changes the financial services processing 
landscape and adds velocity to our Fiserv 2.0 initiatives. 

Over the last several years the financial services industry 
has been driving robust growth for much of the data 
processing sector. The global credit crisis, combined with 
a weakening U.S. economy, has negatively impacted 
the near-term outlook for the financial services industry. 
While we would prefer a stronger overall business
environment, we believe that our recurring revenue
business model, diverse client base and industry-leading 
products should allow us to continue to deliver solid results. 
We also believe that in today’s market more institutions 
will consider outsourcing as a way to reduce costs, and 
that our broad set of solutions positions us well to deliver 
that value. We remain optimistic about our future.

2007 Operating Performance
Our financial performance was strong in 2007. We 
achieved 10% revenue growth for the year – extending 
our track record of double-digit revenue growth. We 
continued our focus on expanding operating margins, 
which together with revenue growth, resulted in a 
15% increase in adjusted earnings per share from 
continuing operations. We believe the strength of our 
business model and the sources of our revenue growth 
will provide for continuing improvements in operating 
margin for the foreseeable future.

Within Fiserv, we view free cash 
flow as one of the most critical 
operating measures of business 
strength. Free cash flow from 
continuing operations was  
up 15% to $438 million.  
We used the majority of  
our free cash flow last year 
to repurchase more than eight 
million shares of Fiserv stock.

We communicated specific Fiserv 2.0 
performance metrics to provide visibility 
on our progress against two of our 

most measurable strategic themes: 
Enhanced Client Relationship Value and 

Operational Effectiveness. We achieved 115% of our 
2007 integrated sales objective, generating $30 million 
of incremental sales to existing clients that we expect 
to turn into recurring annual revenue in 2008.  
We also delivered a more effective cost structure 
– achieving 133% of our operational effectiveness 
goal, which translated to $20 million of net cost 
reduction for the year. Momentum is strong entering 
2008, and we expect to see even better results in our 
second year of execution.

We made important decisions in 2007 about the 
company we aspire to be. Altering the mix of  
businesses that compose Fiserv was among the  
most transformational actions implemented  
during the year.

As part of Fiserv 2.0, we adopted a principle that we 
would only participate in businesses where we either 
100
100
have – or could project – a clear path to industry 
leadership. While we clearly

possess those characteristics 
in our financial businesses, 
we determined that 
operating Fiserv Health 

and Fiserv ISS would not allow us to maximize 
shareholder value. Accordingly, during the year we 
announced our intent to sell both businesses – along 
with two smaller lending operations – for a total of 
nearly $1 billion. We believe that the clients of the 
impacted businesses, as well as Fiserv shareholders, 
are now in a better position to optimize value as 
a result of these transactions. We will continue to 
manage our businesses with this principle in mind.

In addition to CheckFree, we acquired three  
other businesses in 2007 geared at building 
competencies and enabling our clients to achieve 
best-in-class results:

•  BancIntelligence provides enhanced analytics to 
help financial institutions allocate resources and 
optimize profitability;

•  NetEconomy brings world-class risk management 

and compliance tools to clients; and

•  WorkingRx strengthens Fiserv’s position in the 
workers’ compensation pharmacy transaction 
processing market.

Although our first priority is the integration  
of CheckFree, we will continue to consider 
opportunities to expand our scale and  
differentiation through acquisition.

pro-forma 
annual 
revenues

Innovation is also a driving 

force of Fiserv 2.0. We were 

recognized in 2007 by Bank 
Technology News at the 
industry’s Innovator Awards. 
The sixth annual awards 
honored the banking and 
financial services industry’s 

25 most innovative people, 

companies and technologies.  

Bank Technology News selected our leadership for 
its top honor, citing our corporate strategy to offer a 
platform-wide suite of products to move the company 
from a business-unit focus to one that is client driven.

Our new vice chairman, Pete Kight, CheckFree founder 
and former chairman and chief executive officer, was a 
recipient of the first lifetime achievement award and 
was inducted to the Innovators Hall of Fame for his 
significant achievements in bank technology.

Although we are grateful to have our management 
recognized, the awards are really a tribute to our  
25,000 associates around the world whose creativity, 
innovation and tenacity should enable even greater 
results in the future. It’s our people who continue to 
make the difference.

As management, we know that our ultimate responsibility 
is to provide value to clients and strong returns for 
shareholders. After strong 2006 total shareholder return, 

2007 performance was mixed, with our 6% return 
beating the S&P 500 index but falling short of other 
relevant indices. Our two-year return of 28% led all 
major indices. Regardless of near-term share price 
performance, we are confident that we have taken the 
actions that should provide attractive returns for our 
shareholders over many years. 

The New Fiserv
Inside the halls of the company we refer to ourselves 
as “The New Fiserv” to reflect the many actions we
took in 2007, and the vast opportunities we believe
await us. The New Fiserv has pro-forma annual revenue
of nearly $5 billion and employs 25,000 associates in
more than 250 locations around the world. We have
a low capital intensity business model which delivers
attractive earnings, operating margin and cash flow. 
Our human and financial capital is focused on 
capturing the tremendous potential we see ahead.

We enter 2008 as a leading provider of technology 
processing solutions for the broad financial services 
industry. We offer a variety of leading solutions 
in critical areas such as core processing, Internet 
banking, electronic bill payment and presentment, 
debit and EFT processing, item processing, risk 
management, and many others. Our goal is to not 
only deliver the products that we have today, but 
to increase integration and innovation so that we can 
provide even more client value in the future. That is  
the essence of The New Fiserv.

We envision The New Fiserv playing a larger role in 
shaping industry trends – including increased focus 
on the end-users of our technology. Our goal is 
to further influence the next generation of client 
relationships – specifically remote interactions – for 
retail and commercial consumers. We are increasing 
our thought leadership and product innovation to 
ensure that Fiserv clients are the beneficiaries of the 
best technology solutions available.

Donald F. Dillon
Chairman of the Board

“ I have been fortunate enough to be part of 
something very special. I always felt honored 
to be entrusted with such a significant role for 
a company as exceptional as Fiserv, but my 
greatest joy has been the opportunity to work 
alongside so many wonderful people.”

A Tribute to Norm Balthasar
After 34 years of service at Fiserv, we will say goodbye to Norm Balthasar when he steps 
down as senior executive vice president and chief operating officer later this year.

As a member of the original management team which founded Fiserv in 1984, we will 
miss Norm’s passion for all things Fiserv.  His vast knowledge of the business and insights 
into how best to serve clients, combined with his deep care for the organization, has 
made Norm instrumental to the company’s long-term success.

We thank Norm for his significant contributions during his tenure with Fiserv. As he begins 
this next phase of his life, we wish Norm and his family all the best.

CheckFree

In 2006, as part of its Fiserv 2.0 strategic platform, Fiserv announced its commitment 
to “active portfolio management” – a framework for capturing the right market 
opportunities at the right inflection points.

2007 brought active portfolio management to life, with the divestiture of several 
businesses in which the company was not well positioned to deliver market-leading 
results. Additionally, Fiserv made four acquisitions to boost its offerings to clients: 
NetEconomy, BancIntelligence, WorkingRx and CheckFree.

CheckFree, with a purchase price of $4.4 billion, is the largest acquisition in Fiserv’s 
history. The transaction, which closed in December, symbolizes the transformational 
change envisioned under Fiserv 2.0. The combination of these two strong compa-
nies creates a foundation for growth and innovation in financial services technology 
unlike anything the industry has seen.

The combination of two industry leaders with a broad range 

”We introduced Fiserv 2.0 last year with the intent to deliver greater value, 
opportunity and growth for our stakeholders. CheckFree’s world-class products 
and culture of dynamic innovation deliver on this commitment, creating a client 
value proposition unrivaled in the market today and serving as a catalyst for our 
Fiserv 2.0 initiatives,” says Jeff Yabuki, Fiserv president and CEO.

CheckFree is the premier provider of services to the largest banks, serving 22 
of the top 25 U.S. financial institutions. Through its 6,000 core processing 
relationships, Fiserv is the leading technology solutions provider among small- and 
medium-sized institutions.

Offering Fiserv’s broad product set to larger institutions, while bringing CheckFree’s 
online banking and electronic bill payment technology to Fiserv’s core processing 
clients, will leverage the strengths of both companies into an estimated $125 
million in additional annualized revenues by 2010.

of market-leading capabilities – CheckFree as the leader in 
online banking and electronic bill payment; Fiserv as the 
leader in information management services for financial  
and insurance companies – creates a significant opportunity 
for clients.  

“About 75% of our core processing client base does not use a Fiserv electronic bill 
payment solution today,” says Yabuki. “We think the opportunity in penetrating 
this base is significant, but more importantly, we think there’s an opportunity to 
redefine electronic banking for these financial institutions to help them compete 
more effectively.”

Pete Kight Joins Fiserv and its 
Board of Directors
Pete Kight, former CheckFree chairman  
and chief executive officer, was named  
vice chairman of Fiserv and joined its Board  
of Directors in December 2007. In his position  
at Fiserv, Pete is focused on integration and 
innovation.  

CheckFree by the Numbers

Nearly $1 billion in revenues in fiscal 2007

1.4 billion electronic transactions processed in 2007

250 million electronic bills delivered in 2007

Serves 22 of the top 25 U.S. financial institutions

Processes more than 75% of all ACH transactions in the U.S.

A key element in turning these opportunities into added revenues is 
tightly integrating online banking and electronic bill payment capabilities 
with core processing solutions, using the best products from the  
combined company. More than 80 work teams with hundreds of associates 
from both companies are working on the integration effort.

The long-term opportunity: blending the companies’ combined  
strengths to create a unique electronic banking experience for clients  
and consumers alike.

“Increasingly, today’s banking consumers are defining the quality of their 
relationship with their financial institution by the richness of the online 
experience they are able to have with that institution,” says Pete Kight, 
former CEO of CheckFree and now vice chairman of Fiserv. “We are in 
a great position to help financial institutions of all sizes enhance this key 
element of their relationship with customers.”

Among the coming attractions from Fiserv:
•  Integrated online banking that delivers complete information and 

practical tools for both consumers and commercial clients;

•  The next generation of online banking and electronic bill payment 

that allows financial institutions to compete more effectively;

•  New analytical and predictive products that help financial institutions 
better assess specific customer behavior and reduce customer losses; 
•  Risk management tools that help financial institutions with compliance 

and fraud management.

“Every electronic transaction brings with it direct customer insight and 
inherent risk,” says Kight. “Our opportunity is magnified because we 
help our clients maximize insights in order to better predict products and 
services their customers want, while helping them comprehensively manage 
risk in today’s high-volume electronic transaction marketplace.”

A Dynamic Combination
In addition to next-generation products and broader market opportunities, 
the acquisition also provides the potential for both Fiserv and CheckFree 
associates to grow with the new organization. Joining Fiserv on the 
management team along with Pete Kight is Steve Olsen, former chief 
operating officer of CheckFree. Olsen is now Fiserv group president of 
Internet banking and electronic payments. 

“Both companies have an outstanding workforce and a cultural commitment 
to clients. We were strong separately, but together we are even stronger,” 
adds Yabuki.

History of Innovation

When Pete Kight founded CheckFree in 1981, he began by providing an innovative client solution – creating  

customer retention for the health and fitness industry through electronic funds transfer services. This commitment 

to innovation grew into an array of solutions that make CheckFree the market leader for financial electronic 

commerce, enabling the movement and management of personal and business finances worldwide.

world-class leadership

The 100% Club is Fiserv’s annual awards celebration recognizing outstanding sales and leadership achievements. This annual 
event acknowledges the sales executives, sales managers and business unit leaders who create the most value to clients over the year, 
achieving 100% of their sales and management goals for the year, and those who exemplify the principles of the new Fiserv.

There were 15 awards given for 2007: sales professionals of the year; sales manager of the year; leadership 
awards achieved by business unit presidents; and the two top awards, Business Unit Executive of the Year 
and Chairperson of the 100% Club. These last two winners are selected from amongst the winners of the 
sales professionals of the year and the business unit leadership award winners.

This year, the highest ranking honor – Chairperson of the Fiserv 100% Club – is Angelo Nyars of Fiserv 
Automotive Solutions. In his second year with Fiserv, Angelo achieved 840% of his sales goal and a 
significant portion of his sales represented integration with other Fiserv solutions. His ability to build solid 
relationships, listen to clients’ needs and deliver creative solutions led to this recognition.

The Business Unit Executive of the Year award is given to the senior executive who has delivered the best 
overall results for his or her business unit. Eligible executives are evaluated for their group’s achievements, 
as well as his or her individual contribution toward Fiserv’s overall goals. Kevin Collins from Fiserv 
Automotive Solutions is this year’s winner, demonstrating commitment to his team through 
passion, leadership and results. Kevin’s team achieved 370% of its sales objective and 
achieved the highest rankings in Fiserv’s client satisfaction surveys.

Two awards were presented this year that are not given annually, but periodically based on 
excellence of achievement throughout the year: the Pinnacle award for team leadership that 
led to a significant positive impact on Fiserv business results, achieved by Tom Cypher of 
Fiserv ITI; and the Fiserv 2.0 award, new this year and created to recognize the individuals 
who best exemplify the tenants of Fiserv 2.0 while creating exceptional sales success for his 
or her team, won by Pete Anderson, Anne Marie Ciccone and Mike Muszynski.

Fiserv congratulates all of the 100% Club members for their outstanding 
achievements in 2007.
