We Look Different.
Because We Are.
Because We Are.

As we begin our 25th year, we have taken another 
significant step in our commitment to extend our 
leadership and enhance the value we provide to our 
clients. We have unveiled a new brand identity to reflect 
an enhanced market approach and new energy.

Our new brand mark speaks volumes about where we’ve 
been and where we’re headed. Continuing with the 
rich heritage of the Fiserv name, our new logo signals a 
progressive and unified organization. 

Our new signature orange reflects a vibrant, energized 
company. All lowercase, the mark conveys a quiet 
confidence blended with approachability. The period 
within the mark, or “proof point,” punctuates our 
commitment to leading the transformation of financial 
services technology for our clients’ benefit – period.

Unified under one brand, we’re making it easier for  
clients to experience the full breadth of our solutions. 
We’re not only addressing their day-to-day technology 
requirements, we’re delivering the innovation they’ll 
need now and in the future to meet the demands of an 
increasingly digital and connected world.

My Fellow Shareholders
My Fellow Shareholders

2008 was a watershed year. A year when economic  
and political factors converged to form the beginning  
of what will be a multi-year transformation of the global 
financial services industry. The adage, “expect the 
unexpected,” became the norm, and we buckled in  
for what will likely be the most economic turbulence in 
more than 70 years. 

Change is not Optional
The financial services industry is the eye of the storm. 

In fact, some might say the broad-based group that    

comprises depository institutions – banks, thrifts and credit 

unions – is under siege. And while the negative pressure is 

spreading rapidly across the entire economy, the financial 

services sector has felt the majority of the early impact. The 

wave of bad news across much of the industry, and the 

impact on those serving financial services providers, grew 

progressively worse during the year. And even though Fiserv 

achieved strong financial performance in 2008, our results 

were clearly impacted by the negative market conditions. 

The range of business opportunities we have seen over 

the last several years, along with the manner in which 

consumers acquire financial services, is now in flux. That 

point is without debate. While we would certainly prefer a 

very healthy end market, we view the current dislocation as 

an additional catalyst to accelerate our level of change.

of Fiserv

In 2006 we launched our platform for change, 

known as Fiserv 2.0. This transformation has 

proven even more apropos as the dynamic 

global financial services market is impacting 

how we all do business. The proactive approach

For the last few years, we have taken a number 

of steps to extend our business model, with a 

stronger focus on integration and innovation, 

enhancing efficiency, pinpointing the most 

distinct market opportunities, and executing a 

more disciplined approach to capital allocation. 

The events of 2008 have served as a further 

catalyst, which is helping us to achieve a larger 

share of the market opportunities. We expect 

the efforts we began two years ago to pay

dividends well into the future.

Meeting Our Commitments
At the beginning of 2008, we shared three 

primary goals with our shareholders: 

•	 Deliver	earnings	results	consistent	with	 

our commitments, regardless of  

economic conditions

•	 Make	significant	progress	in	 

integrating CheckFree

•	 Enhance	our	level	of	competitive	

differentiation through innovation and 

integration, leading to superior results  

for our clients and shareholders

We shared these goals as a road map for  

our owners to assess our financial and  

strategic performance, given the acquisition 

of CheckFree and the prospect of challenging 

market conditions. We are proud to say that  

we achieved our objectives on all three fronts

“We have identified more opportunity 

We continued to enhance our focus on

Our financial performance for the year was 

strong. Total revenue for the year increased 

nearly $1 billion largely on the strength of the 

2007 acquisition of CheckFree. And while the 

environment clearly impacted our internal 

revenue growth, we served more clients and 

delivered more products than ever before. 

innovation and were rewarded a number of  

times during the year. In addition to several  

top awards for product innovation, we once 

again claimed the top spot in the FinTech 100.  

Fiserv was ranked among the top five in the 

InformationWeek 500, and importantly, as  

the most innovative user of technology for  

the Financial Services and Banking industry.  

Our early efforts to spur innovation are  

making a difference for clients and energizing 

our associates.

We grew adjusted earnings per share by  

23 percent to $3.29. This growth reflected the 

resilience and diversity of our business model, 

along with strong execution, which offset 

several negative environmental impacts on our 

results. We negotiated a three-year contract

extension with our largest client, which added 

$611

more certainty and longevity to this important

relationship. We also generated record free 

cash flow of $611 million, which we deployed

In early 2009, we launched a vibrant and

tremendous. This new identity represents the

Fiserv as a Beacon
The death of the banking industry has been 

greatly exaggerated. The key driver of the 

banking industry is less the number of 

institutions, which has been shrinking for more 

than 20 years, than the number of accounts 

that underlie those institutions. Over the last 

five years, the number of deposit accounts in the 

U.S. has increased by 6 percent annually, even 

while the total number of institutions declined 

by more than 2,000 over the same period.

resonates across our 

client base as a result 

of their relationships 

with Fiserv. Our clients 

know that we are their 

“partner in possibility” 

by working to further 

their business goals 

“Being a Fiserv client is not a  
question; it’s a statement.”

Consumers and businesses will continue to 

transact, and although there may be some 

short-term variability, we expect transactions

A Relationship
A Relationship Spanning 30 Years

When Don Dillon first sold account processing software to First  
Interstate Bank in the late 1970s, little did he know they would still 
be using it 30 years later, or that his software would one day become 
one of the strategic building blocks for Fiserv – the $4.7 billion  
company he now chairs.

“We are primarily family owned, ‘generational,’ 

and aren’t quick to make long-term decisions,” 

explains	Lyle	Knight,	president	and	CEO	of	First	

Interstate Bank. “i_Tech was a part of our family 

for more than 40 years. The decision to sell it 

was not an easy one.”

With that bold investment in a new technology,

It was the strength and mutual trust of our

that solution through its sister company, i_Tech

“To work, a relationship needs to be mutual,” 

says Ali Worick, program manager for Fiserv. 

“Our partnership with First Interstate Bank 

works both ways. They helped improve the 

original product, and have used it successfully 

for all these years.”

Fast forward to December 2008, when Fiserv 

bought i_Tech Corporation from First Interstate –  

a decision that focused on the bank’s long-term

success. This acquisition enabled us to expand 

our account processing footprint by adding 

more than 150 clients in several Western  

states and to maintain a state-of-the-art

processing system  

for the bank. More 

importantly, the 

transaction allowed  

First Interstate, a 

$6 billion regional 

institution with more 

than 70 branches  

and a network of  

150 ATMs, to focus  

on banking.

If you have a strong and stable 
community, your bank should do 
 just fine.”

  – Lyle Knight, First Interstate Bank

As Fiserv’s solutions continue to evolve, First 

Interstate is able to provide the most efficient 

and profitable services to its customers. Using 

Premier as a starting point, the bank will convert 

to Fiserv’s electronic bill payment solution, 

and	is	also	migrating	its	EFT,	debit	and	ATM	

processing	to	our	ACCEL/Xchange	Network.

Addressing the current economy, Knight says 

weathering the storm is a bit easier in his 

region than in others. “A bank is a mirror of its 

community,” he explains. “If you have a strong 

and stable community, your bank should do just 

fine. Stability is what we have here in Big Sky 

Country, but with stability comes competition. 

As a regional bank, we need to compete with 

both the nationals and the locals, and that 

requires a solid technology partner. Fiserv 

continues to deliver the right solutions, just 

when we need them.”

This growth required a technology partner that 

could handle increasing volumes and drive 

expansion with innovative solutions.

Mark Quinlan, chief information officer at 

Associated Bank, talks about how the features 

and functionality of our solutions prove  

to be an important part of their success.  

“We have used a Fiserv account processing 

platform for many years,” says Quinlan. 

“Ultimately, it is our trusted relationship – in 

addition to a variety of stable solutions – that 

keeps us close.” In 2008, Associated Bank 

converted its account processing platform  

to Signature™ from another Fiserv solution, 

which better suited their changing needs. 

“The fact that Associated Bank stayed with 

Fiserv speaks volumes about the technology 

and innovation we bring to our clients,”  

says Allan MacKinnon, senior vice president, 

market development for Fiserv. “Core 

conversions are a major undertaking, but  

we provided a solution that will meet their 

needs for years to come.” 

Over a single weekend in May 2008, each 

of the bank’s 300 branches converted to the 

Signature account processing platform. Quinlan 

labeled the conversion “incredibly smooth,” 

thanks to months of planning and collaboration. 

In addition to the Signature account processing 

platform, the bank implemented other new 

Fiserv solutions including online banking and 

business intelligence. Consumer bill payment 

and presentment solutions – key to consumer 

retention for the bank – will be added this spring. 

“ We knew we would get best- 

of-breed technology and other  
enhanced offerings with Fiserv.  
The enhancements improved  
our pricing, increased efficiency  
and layered on new innovations – 
letting us strengthen the  
consumer experience.” 
  – Mark Quinlan, Associated Bank 

“There is no question this change will prove  

“We expanded to a point where it made 

to be the right choice for our long-term growth,”

Source Capture Solutions
Our single, web-based technology platform allows us 

to handle deposits from multiple capture points. With 

Source Capture Solutions, our financial institution 

clients are able to: 

•	 Reduce fraud. Through our single platform,  

we can immediately detect if a duplicate check  

is being processed. 

•	 Grow deposits. Banks can expand their virtual 

footprints, attracting and retaining depositors from 

geographic areas where they don’t necessarily have 

a physical location.

“ Fiserv Source Capture has improved the 
banking experience for our clients by 
moving the imaging function to the branch 
– enabling faster clearing and reducing  
the chances of encountering fraud.  
At the same time, we have reduced  
item-related operating costs and 
redistributed the savings to improve  
our overall product and service delivery.  
We enjoy the highest penetration of  
branch capture among our competitors, 
which has helped us to achieve nearly  
100 percent image clearing.”

•	 Preserve capital. With digitized payments, banks 

  – BB&T Corporation, Raleigh, NC

can reduce the unit cost of processing checks and 

infrastructure investments for large check-sorting 

equipment. Instead, banks can put the capital to 

work in growing their business. 

•	 Increase efficiency. Our Source Capture Solutions 

reduce processing time and improve  

customer satisfaction.

Community Connection

Just as we do, Lake City Bank counts on trusted relationships to 
grow its business. And grow it has.

Since becoming a Fiserv client in the early 

1980s, Lake City Bank of Warsaw, Indiana has 

grown organically from a $143 million institution 

with a handful of branches to a $2.5 billion 

bank with 43 locations in 12 northern Indiana 

counties. With 21 consecutive years of record 

earnings, Lake City Bank has maintained its 

“community bank” moniker. But that moniker 

doesn’t shield it from the rigors of competition.
