Each day, thousands of Fiserv clients serve millions of consumers, small businesses and commercial customers through our market-leading solutions. Each one of these interactions contributes to the depth of the overall relationship between businesses and their customers which today are enabled -- and often even defined -- by technology. Enhancing the quality of these experiences is vital to our clients’ success and an instrumental part of what we do. – We provide technologies that deal in “matters of money”-- areas that we know are personal and emotional -- and our solutions form the foundation for digital financial experiences around the world. As such, we have an opportunity to equip our clients to deliver on the promise of a better financial life for their customers. We don’t take that responsibility lightly. We understand what it takes to lead, and made important progress on that front in 2012. At Fiserv, part of our stance is to look for new and innovative ways to help our clients meet their commitments. By effectively navigating the nuances of a rapidly evolving market, we can better serve our clients, create opportunities for our associates and, over time, expect to provide above market returns for our shareholders. That’s our commitment. We understand what it takes to lead, and made important progress on that front in 2012. Our efforts should serve us well as we continue to build an enterprise that will win both today and in the future. 2012: A Year to Remember For some, our performance during the year may have seemed unremarkable. We don’t see it that way. Fiserv is in the enviable position of being at the center of a financial services technology revolution; and is a business that generates solid financial results, year after year, without much fanfare. This year was no exception. – The market environment became clearer as the year progressed, but it didn’t turn sustainably positive. We saw continuing pressures across the financial landscape that manifested in more regulatory and risk scrutiny, new competitors, financial pressures and the increasing demands of a more sophisticated, empowered digital audience. Within that context, we didn’t shy away from the future. We took steps to build it. We enhanced our capital structure, invested in innovative products and capabilities, and further enhanced our management team. These actions should position us to produce even stronger performance over the next several years. We also honed our value proposition in areas of traditional strength -- such as bill payment and online banking -- while adding capabilities to our solution set in newer, emerging areas such as Mobiliti™ and Popmoney®. > 2 Jeff Yabuki, President and Chief Executive Officer Don Dillon, Chairman of the Board We have an opportunity to equip our clients to deliver on the promise of a better financial life for their customers. We don't take that responsibility lightly. 3 We introduced our mobile card reader, SpotPay™, to enable any of the more than 25 million U.S. small businesses, which collect billions of payments annually, to accept debit and credit card payments through their mobile phone or tablet. In addition, we introduced our real-time, money movement capability for Popmoney in late 2012. This innovation enables people to send and receive money instantly, at the press of a button, aligning with the growing demands of the digital consumer. Real-time money movement and "on the spot" card payments represent a powerful value proposition, which could translate to billions of dollars of new financial institution revenue. We expect to enable real-time capabilities across a number of our payment networks over the next several years. Sales in 2012 were once again a bright spot, including the most significant bill payment sales year in memory. We expanded our key payments solutions base by more than 1,000 clients, added more than 550 institutions to our mobile solution, and once again won more than our fair share of account processing clients. Total sales increased more than 15 percent over our stellar 2011 results, with a much stronger bias to recurring revenue. We also renewed our largest bill payment client during the year, which increases certainty and maintains market scale for the next decade. While enhancing our growth foundation, we continued to turn the dials on our business model, recording our 27th consecutive year of double-digit adjusted earnings per share growth. Adjusted earnings per share grew 12 percent to a record $5.13, and adjusted operating margin expanded by 40 basis points for the year. Although overall revenue growth for the year fell short of expectations, we saw meaningful growth in high-quality recurring revenue. The strength of our implementation pipeline, along with strong sales performance, gives us increased confidence in our prospects for revenue growth acceleration. We understand that an important part of our shareholder value proposition is capital allocation. We generated $772 million of adjusted free cash flow and, importantly, per share free cash flow increased 8 percent to $5.61 for the year. We did not complete any acquisitions in 2012, opting instead to return 80 percent of our free cash flow, or $625 million, to shareholders through the repurchase of over 9 million shares of stock. Since 2006, we have returned more than $3 billion to shareholders through our share repurchase program. We seek to optimize value creation at the intersection of disciplined capital allocation and the attractive free cash flow characteristics of our business. Our equity performance for the year was strong, with FISV returning 35 percent versus 16 percent for the S&P 500®. We have consistently outperformed the S&P 500 over the last seven years, returning significantly more than the benchmark index over the period. We will take that type of “unremarkable” any time. In 2012, we introduced our real-time capability, enabling people to send and receive money instantly. 4 2012 Highlights – Member of the NASDAQ 100 – More than 1 in 3 U.S. financial institutions rely on Fiserv for account processing solutions – More than $1 trillion moved – 27 consecutive years of double-digit adjusted EPS growth – Serving clients in more than 80 countries – Forward Momentum Each year, we take stock of our performance and review our readiness for the future. We also assess the relative change in our breakthrough quotient -- meaning the number and quality of opportunities that truly have the potential to change our performance trajectory through differentiated new value to clients. We made important progress on this front in 2012. – As part of this assessment, we made the decision to acquire Open Solutions in January 2013. The work we did in developing our Acumen® account processing platform proved that there is a sizeable part of the market ready now for a next-generation solution, which includes significant add-on capabilities that complete the value equation for the institution. We could not organically meet all the demand for Acumen, and this acquisition provides a proven platform to support the opportunity. With Open Solutions, we also added a team of associates who serve their 3,300 clients with the same passion and commitment we see within Fiserv. And last, we have important opportunities to provide meaningful new value to these clients through our suite of market-leading solutions. We believe this acquisition is well-aligned strategically and a strong allocation of capital. We are in the enviable position of having any one of several opportunities that could have a breakthrough impact on the market. For example, Popmoney for retail or small business and real-time money movement represent new and differentiated value to consumers and their financial institutions, which should translate into meaningful new growth for your company. Breakthrough performance does not happen on its own. It requires the steadfast belief that the solutions will meaningfully improve financial experiences while enhancing the performance of our clients. We must maintain the commitment to make it happen. At Fiserv, we stand for enabling best-in-class results for our clients. Our more than 21,000 associates approach each day intently focused on making that promise a reality. Best clients, best ideas, best people. That’s been the Fiserv way for nearly 30 years, and we intend to make the next 30 even better. – Jeffery W.

Payments Electronic Banking Our electronic banking business is comprised of electronic bill payment and presentment services, biller services, digital channel services, and other electronic payments services such as person-to-person payments and account- to-account transfers. Electronic bill payment and presentment Our principal electronic bill payment and presentment product, CheckFree® RXP®, allows our clients’ customers: to manage household bills via an easy-to-use, online tool; to view billing and payment information; to pay and manage all of their bills in one place; to experience the speed of payment they might have at a biller’s site; and to make convenient next-day payments to many of the companies with which they do business. We use our systems to process the vast majority of the payment transactions that we handle, which enables us to improve our economies of scale. Once a consumer has accessed the system through a financial institution, he or she can elect to pay an electronic bill delivered by us or can instruct the system to pay any individual or company within the U.S. Biller Our biller business provides electronic billing and payment services to companies that deliver substantial volumes of bills to their customer base, such as utilities, telephone and cable companies, and insurance providers, enabling our biller clients to reduce costs, collect payments faster, and provide customers flexible, easy-to-use ways to view and pay their bills. We believe that consumers will continue to shift their financial transactions from traditional, paper-based methods to electronic methods if they have easy-to-access, easy-to-use, secure and cost-effective methods of receiving and paying their bills electronically. Consumers use our electronic billing and payment systems by viewing or paying a bill through a financial institution’s bill pay application, use of a biller’s website, mobile application or automated phone system, www.mycheckfree.com or by paying in person at one of our 25,000 nationwide walk-in payment locations at retail stores operated by our partners. These diverse services allow our clients’ customers to view and pay bills wherever, whenever and however they feel most comfortable. Furthermore, because our biller clients are able to receive all of these services from us, we can eliminate the operational complexity and expense of supporting multiple vendor systems or in-house developed systems. Digital channels Our principal online consumer and business banking products for larger financial institutions are Corillian Online® and Corillian® Business Online. Both built on the Corillian platforms, these software applications support multiple lines of banking businesses. Using universal standards, Corillian Online and Corillian Business Online have been designed to be highly scalable to meet the evolving needs of our clients. This structure enables our clients to deploy new services by adding and integrating applications, such as electronic bill payment, person-to-person payments and online banking solutions, to any internet connected point-of-presence. 4 Our MobilitiTM product provides a variety of mobile banking and payments services, including balance inquiry, transaction history, bill payment, person-to-person payments and transfers through a mobile device to our clients and their customers. It enables financial institutions to reach more consumers than via other mobile technologies because it supports all three mobile access modes: mobile browser, downloaded application for smart phones and tablets, and text message. In the first quarter of 2011, we acquired M-Com, an international mobile banking and payments provider, which has enhanced our mobile and payment capabilities. Person-to-person payments and other electronic transactions In September 2011, we acquired CashEdge, a leading provider of consumer and business payments solutions such as account-to-account transfer, account opening and funding, data aggregation, small business invoicing and payments, and person-to-person payments.

Popmoney can be accessed through a Fiserv website, www.popmoney.com, through Fiserv’s mobile applications for iPhone® and AndroidTM, or through the websites and mobile banking applications of participating financial institutions.

More than one in every three financial institutions in the U.S. uses a Fiserv account processing system.

Some of these competitors possess substantially greater financial, sales and marketing resources than we do and have substantial flexibility in competing with us, including through the use of integrated product offerings and through pricing. Competitive factors for our business include product quality, service reliability, product line comprehensiveness and integration, timely introduction of new products and features, and price. We believe that we compete favorably in each of these categories. We expect competition to continue to increase as new companies enter our markets and existing competitors expand their product lines and services. Additional information about the markets in which we compete is provided in the segment discussion below. Payments Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (“FIS”), Jack Henry and Associates, Inc. (“Jack Henry”) and Online Resources Corporation compete with us most directly in our bill payment business. Western Union is our primary competitor in our biller-direct bill payment and walk-in payments businesses. A number of other companies compete with us in our card-based payment transaction processing business, including First Data Corporation, Total System Services, Inc., MasterCard Incorporated and Visa, Inc. Certain existing and potential financial institution and biller clients also have the ability to develop and use their own in-house systems instead of our products and services. And, many companies that provide outsourced internet finance solutions are consolidating, creating larger competitors with greater resources and broader product lines. Our investment services business competes primarily with providers of portfolio accounting software and outsourced services and with in-house solutions developed by large financial institutions. Financial Our products and services in the Financial segment compete in several different market segments and geographies, including with large, diversified software and service companies and independent suppliers of software products. This competition is intensified by the efforts of vendors and consultants who encourage clients to establish client-operated data centers and the design and implementation of customized software solutions. We also compete with vendors that offer similar transaction processing products and services to financial institutions, including FIS, Jack Henry and Harland Financial Solutions, Inc. Government Regulation Fiserv and its subsidiaries are generally not directly subject to federal or state regulations specifically applicable to financial institutions such as banks, thrifts and credit unions. However, as a provider of services to these financial institutions, our operations are examined on a regular basis by state regulatory authorities and representatives of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, which is a formal interagency body empowered to prescribe uniform principles, standards and report forms for the federal examination of financial institutions and to make recommendations to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions. Because we use the Federal Reserve’s ACH network to process many of our transactions, we are subject to the Federal Reserve Board’s rules with respect to its ACH network. In addition, independent auditors annually review many of our operations to provide internal control evaluations for our clients, auditors and regulators. In addition, in conducting our direct-to-consumer electronic commerce business, including our walk-in bill payment, prepaid card services, online bill payment and Popmoney personal payment services, we are subject to various federal and state laws and regulations relating to the electronic movement of money. In order to comply with our obligations under applicable laws, we are required, among other matters, to comply with annual reporting and licensing requirements, to implement operating policies and procedures to protect the privacy and security of our clients’ information, and to undergo periodic audits and examinations. In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted. The Dodd-Frank Act introduced substantial reforms to the supervision and operation of the financial services 8 industry, including introducing changes that: affect the oversight and supervision of financial institutions; provide for a new resolution procedure for large financial companies; introduce more stringent regulatory capital requirements; implement changes to corporate governance and executive compensation practices; and require significant rule-making. The Dodd-Frank Act also established a new federal interagency council called the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”) and a new federal bureau called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”). The FSOC monitors and assesses “systemic risk” to the safety of the U.S. financial system and coordinates the actions of the various regulatory agencies on those issues. The CFPB is empowered to conduct rule-making and supervision related to, and enforcement of, federal consumer financial protection laws. The Dodd-Frank Act has generated, and will continue to generate, numerous new regulations that will impact the financial industry. It is difficult to predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act, the FSOC, the CFPB or the resulting regulations will impact our business or the businesses of our current and potential clients over the long term. Employees As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 20,000 employees, many of whom are specialists in our information management centers and related product and service businesses. This service support network includes employees with backgrounds in computer science and the financial industry, often complemented by management and other employees with direct experience in banks, thrifts, credit unions and other financial services environments. Our employees provide expertise in: programming, software development, modification and maintenance; computer operations, network control and technical support; client services and training; business process outsourcing; item and mortgage processing; system conversions; sales and marketing; and account management. None of our employees in the U.S. are represented by a union, and there have been no work stoppages, strikes or, to our knowledge, attempts to organize. The service nature of our business makes our employees an important corporate asset. Although the market for qualified personnel is competitive, we have not experienced significant difficulty with hiring or retaining our staff of top industry professionals. In assessing a potential acquisition candidate, we emphasize the quality and stability of its employees. Available Information Our website address is www.fiserv.com. We are not including the information provided on our website as a part of, or incorporating it by reference into, this Annual Report on Form 10-K. We make available free of charge (other than an investor’s own internet access charges) through our website our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K, and amendments to these reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file such material with, or furnish such material to, the Securities and Exchange Commission. Item 1A. Risk Factors You should carefully consider each of the risks described below, together with all of the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment decision with respect to our securities. If any of the following risks develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and you may lose all or part of your investment. Our business may be adversely impacted by U.S. and global market and economic conditions. For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to derive most of our revenue from products and services we provide to the financial services industry. Given this concentration, we are exposed to the current global economic conditions in the financial services industry. A more troubled or prolonged poor economic 9 environment could result in significant decreases in demand by current and potential clients for our products and services and in the number and dollar amount of transactions we process, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We operate in a competitive business environment and may not be able to compete effectively. The market for our services is competitive. Our competitors vary in size and in the scope and breadth of the services they offer. Some of our competitors have substantial resources. Many of our larger existing and potential clients have historically developed their key applications in-house. As a result, we often compete against our existing or potential clients’ in-house capabilities. In addition, we expect that the markets in which we compete will continue to attract new competitors and new technologies, including international providers of similar products and services to ours, having a lower cost structure. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive pressures faced by us in the markets in which we operate will not materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. If we fail to adapt our products and services to changes in technology or in the marketplace, or if our ongoing efforts to upgrade our technology are not successful, we could lose clients or have trouble attracting new clients. The markets for our products and services are characterized by constant technological changes, frequent introductions of new products and services and evolving industry standards. Our ability to enhance our current products and services and to develop and introduce innovative products and services that address the increasingly sophisticated needs of our clients and their customers will significantly affect our future success. We may not be successful in developing, marketing or selling new products and services that meet these changing demands. In addition, we may experience difficulties that could delay or prevent the successful development, introduction or marketing of these services, or our new services and enhancements may not adequately meet the demands of the marketplace or achieve market acceptance. We continually engage in significant efforts to upgrade our products and services. If we are unsuccessful in completing or gaining market acceptance of new technology, it would likely have a material adverse effect on our ability to retain existing clients or attract new ones. The market for our electronic transaction services continues to evolve and may not continue to develop or grow rapidly enough to sustain profitability. If the number of electronic transactions does not continue to grow, or if consumers or businesses do not continue to adopt our services, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. We believe future growth in the electronic transactions market will be driven by the cost, ease-of-use, security and quality of products and services offered to consumers and businesses. In order to consistently increase and maintain our profitability, consumers and businesses must continue to adopt our services. In addition, if we are unable to continue to decrease the cost of processing transactions, our margins could decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. The success of our electronic commerce business also relies in part on contracts with financial services organizations, businesses, billers, internet portals and other third parties to market our services to their customers. These contracts are important to the growth in demand for our electronic commerce products. If any of these third parties abandons, curtails or insufficiently increases its marketing efforts, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we are unable to renew client contracts at favorable terms, we could lose clients, and our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. Failure to achieve favorable renewals of client contracts could negatively impact our business. Our contracts with clients generally run for a period of three to five years. At the end of the contract term, clients have the 10 opportunity to renegotiate their contracts with us or to consider whether to engage one of our competitors to provide products and services. If we are not successful in achieving high renewal rates and favorable contract terms, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. Consolidations and failures in the banking and financial services industry could adversely affect our revenue by eliminating existing or potential clients and making us more dependent on fewer clients. Many financial institutions are experiencing operating losses, including some of our clients. In some cases, these operating losses have resulted in the failure and/or consolidation of financial institutions. Failures, mergers and consolidations of financial institutions reduce the number of our clients and potential clients, which could adversely affect our revenue. Further, if our clients fail or merge with or are acquired by other entities that are not our clients, or that use fewer of our services, they may discontinue or reduce their use of our services. It is also possible that the larger financial institutions that result from mergers or consolidations could have greater leverage in negotiating terms with us or could decide to perform in-house some or all of the services which we currently provide or could provide. Any of these developments could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. The implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and related regulations may have an adverse impact on our clients and our business. In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”) was signed into law. The Dodd-Frank Act represents a comprehensive overhaul of the financial services industry within the United States, and establishes a new federal interagency council called the Financial Stability Oversight Council (“FSOC”) and a new federal bureau called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (“CFPB”), which we discuss above under “Item 1. Business – Government Regulation.” The Dodd-Frank Act requires the CFPB and other federal agencies to implement numerous new regulations. In addition, the FSOC is empowered to designate certain financial institutions as well as non-bank financial companies as systemically important financial institutions subject to heightened federal oversight, and the CFPB’s rule-making, supervisory and enforcement power related to consumer financial protection laws may extend to service providers for large insured depository institutions or credit unions. It is difficult to predict the extent to which the Dodd-Frank Act, the FSOC, the CFPB or the resulting regulations will impact our business or the businesses of our current and potential clients over the long term. If the FSOC designates our company or any of our subsidiaries as a systemically important financial institution, or the CFPB adopts rules and exercises supervisory authority over service providers like us, we could be subject to a greater degree of direct federal oversight than in the past which could slow our ability to adapt to a rapidly changing industry. To the extent the regulations adopted pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act negatively impact the business, operations or financial condition of our clients, our business and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected because, among other matters, our clients could have less capacity to purchase products and services from us, could decide to avoid or abandon certain lines of business, or could seek to pass on increased costs to us by negotiating price reductions. We could be required to invest a significant amount of time and resources to comply with additional regulations or oversight or to modify the manner in which we provide products and services to our clients; and such regulations could directly or indirectly limit how much we can charge for our services. We may not be able to update our existing products and services, or develop new ones, to satisfy our clients’ needs. Any of these events, if realized, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Security breaches, computer malware or other “cyber attacks” could harm our business by disrupting our delivery of services and damaging our reputation. Our operations routinely involve receiving, storing, processing and transmitting sensitive information pertaining to our business, our associates, our clients and their customers. Any unauthorized intrusion, malicious software infiltration, network disruption, denial of service, or similar act by any malevolent party could disrupt the integrity, continuity, security and trust of our systems or the systems of our clients or vendors. These events could create financial liability, regulatory sanction, or a loss of confidence in our ability to serve clients or cause 11 current or potential clients to choose another service provider. Although we encounter threats from time to time, none of which have materially impacted us, and we continue to seek to maintain a robust program of information security and controls, the impact of a material event could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Operational failures could harm our business and reputation. An operational failure in our transaction processing businesses could harm our business or cause us to lose clients. Such operational failure could be due to the failure of third party networks and systems we rely on to deliver our services and over which we have limited to no control. Interruptions of service could damage our relationship with clients and could cause us to incur substantial expenses, including those related to the payment of service credits or other liabilities. A prolonged interruption of our services or network could cause us to experience data loss or a reduction in revenue. In addition, a significant interruption of service could have a negative impact on our reputation and could cause our current and potential clients to choose another service provider. Any of these developments could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may experience software defects, development delays or installation difficulties, which would harm our business and reputation and expose us to potential liability. Our services are based on sophisticated software and computing systems, and we may encounter delays when developing new applications and services. Further, the software underlying our services has occasionally contained and may in the future contain undetected errors or defects when first introduced or when new versions are released. In addition, we may experience difficulties in installing or integrating our technology on platforms used by our clients. Defects in our software, errors or delays in the processing of electronic transactions or other difficulties could result in interruption of business operations, delay in market acceptance, additional development and remediation costs, diversion of technical and other resources, loss of clients, negative publicity or exposure to liability claims. Although we attempt to limit our potential liability through disclaimers and limitation of liability provisions in our license and client agreements, we cannot be certain that these measures will successfully limit our liability. We may be sued for infringing the intellectual property rights of others. Third parties may claim that we are infringing their intellectual property rights. We may expose ourselves to additional liability if we agree to indemnify our clients against third party infringement claims. If the owner of intellectual property establishes that we are, or a client which we are obligated to indemnify is, infringing its intellectual property rights, or that our intellectual property rights are invalid, we may be forced to change our products or services, and such changes may be expensive or impractical. We may then be forced to seek royalty or license agreements from the owner of such rights. If we are unable to agree on acceptable terms, we may be required to discontinue the sale of key products or halt other aspects of our operations. We may also be liable for financial damages for a violation of intellectual property rights, and we may incur expenses in connection with indemnifying our clients against losses suffered by them. Any adverse result related to violation of third party intellectual property rights could materially and adversely harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if intellectual property claims brought against us are without merit, they may result in costly and time consuming litigation and may divert our management and key personnel from operating our business. Misappropriation of our intellectual property and proprietary rights could impair our competitive position. Our ability to compete depends upon proprietary systems and technology. We actively seek to protect our proprietary rights. Nevertheless, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our services or to obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. The steps we have taken may not prevent misappropriation of technology. Agreements entered into for that purpose may not be enforceable or provide us with an adequate remedy. Effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in 12 every country in which our applications and services are made available. Misappropriation of our intellectual property or potential litigation concerning such matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may be obligated to indemnify the purchasers of businesses pursuant to the terms of the relevant purchase and sale agreements. In the past several years, we sold several significant businesses. In connection with these sales, we made representations and warranties about the businesses and their financial affairs and agreed to retain certain liabilities associated with our operation of the businesses prior to their sale. Our obligation to indemnify the purchasers and agreement to retain liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Acquisitions subject us to risks, including increased debt, assumption of unforeseen liabilities and difficulties in integrating operations. A major contributor to our growth in revenue and earnings since our inception has been our ability to identify, acquire and integrate complementary businesses. We anticipate that we will continue to seek to acquire complementary businesses, products and services. We may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates in the future, which could adversely affect our future growth. Or, businesses that we acquire may not perform as well as expected or may be more difficult to integrate and manage than expected, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. We may not be able to fully integrate all aspects of acquired businesses successfully or fully realize the potential benefits of bringing them together. In addition, the process of integrating these acquisitions may disrupt our business and divert our resources. These risks may arise for a number of reasons: we may not be able to find suitable businesses to acquire at affordable valuations or on other acceptable terms; we face competition for acquisitions from other potential acquirers; we may need to borrow money or sell equity or debt securities to the public to finance future acquisitions and the terms of these financings may be adverse to us; changes in accounting, tax, securities or other regulations could increase the difficulty or cost for us to complete acquisitions; we may incur unforeseen obligations or liabilities in connection with acquisitions; we may need to devote unanticipated financial and management resources to an acquired business; we may not realize expected operating efficiencies or product integration benefits from an acquisition; we could enter markets where we have minimal prior experience; and we may experience decreases in earnings as a result of non-cash impairment charges. If we fail to comply with applicable regulations our businesses could be harmed. We are generally not directly subject to federal or state regulations specifically applicable to financial institutions such as banks, thrifts and credit unions. However, as a provider of services to these financial institutions, we are subject to a number of state and federal regulations, including privacy laws, and our operations are examined on a regular basis by various state and federal regulatory authorities. If we fail to comply with any applicable regulations, we could be exposed to suits for breach of contract or to governmental proceedings, our client relationships and reputation could be harmed and we could be inhibited in our ability to obtain new clients. In addition, the future enactment of more restrictive laws or rules on the federal or state level, or, with respect to our international operations, in foreign jurisdictions on the national, provincial, state or other level, could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our failure to comply with a series of complex regulations in our payments businesses could subject us to liability. Certain Fiserv subsidiaries are licensed as money transmitters in those states where such licensure is required. These licenses require us to demonstrate and maintain certain levels of net worth and liquidity and also require us 13 to file periodic reports. In addition, our direct-to-consumer payments businesses are subject to federal regulation in the United States, including anti-money laundering regulations and certain restrictions on transactions to or from certain individuals or entities. The complexity of these regulations will continue to increase our cost of doing business. In addition, any violations of law may result in civil or criminal penalties against us and our officers or the prohibition against us providing money transmitter services in particular jurisdictions. Our balance sheet includes significant amounts of goodwill and intangible assets. The impairment of a significant portion of these assets would negatively affect our results of operations. Our balance sheet includes goodwill and intangible assets that represent 76% of our total assets at December 31, 2012. These assets consist primarily of goodwill and identified intangible assets associated with our acquisitions. On at least an annual basis, we assess whether there have been impairments in the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets. If the carrying value of the asset is determined to be impaired, then it is written down to fair value by a charge to operating earnings. An impairment of a significant portion of goodwill or intangible assets could have a material negative effect on our results of operations. Increased leverage may harm our financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately $3.2 billion of long-term debt, including current maturities. We and our subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness in the future. Our current level of indebtedness and any future increase in our level of indebtedness could: decrease our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, general corporate or other purposes; limit our flexibility to make acquisitions; increase our cash requirements to support the payment of interest; limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry; and increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions. Our ability to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions and financial, business and other factors affecting our consolidated operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, if our outstanding senior notes are downgraded to below investment grade, we may incur additional interest expense. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt and meet our other cash requirements, we may be required, among other things: to seek additional financing in the debt or equity markets; to refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness; or to reduce or delay planned capital or operating expenditures. Such measures might not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt and meet our other cash requirements. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets might not be available at all or on economically favorable terms, particularly given current and anticipated economic and credit market conditions. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments Not applicable. Item 2. Properties As of December 31, 2012, we operated data, development, item processing and support centers in 123 cities. We owned eight buildings, and the remaining 147 locations where we operated our businesses are subject to leases expiring in 2013 and beyond. In addition, we maintain our own national data communication network consisting of communications processors and leased lines. We believe our facilities and equipment are well maintained and are in good operating condition. We believe that the computer equipment that we own and our various facilities are adequate for our present and foreseeable business needs. We maintain our own, and contract with multiple service providers to provide, processing back-up in the event of a disaster. We also maintain copies of data and software used in our business in locations that are separate from our facilities. 14 Item 3. Legal Proceedings In the normal course of business, we and our subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against us. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures Not applicable. 15 EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT The names of our executive officers as of February 15, 2013, together with their ages, positions and business experience are described below: Name Age Title Jeffery W.

We provide account processing systems, electronic payments processing products and services, internet and mobile banking systems, and related services. We serve approximately 16,000 clients worldwide, including banks, thrifts, credit unions, investment management firms, leasing and finance companies, retailers, merchants and government agencies. The majority of our revenue is generated from recurring account- and transaction-based fees under contracts that generally have terms of three to five years. We also have had high contract renewal rates with our clients. The majority of the services we provide are necessary for our clients to operate their business and are, therefore, non- discretionary in nature. Our operations are primarily in the United States and are comprised of the Payments and Industry Products (“Payments”) segment and the Financial Institution Services (“Financial”) segment. The Payments segment primarily provides electronic bill payment and presentment services, debit and other card-based payment products and services, internet and mobile banking software and services, and other electronic payments software and services including account-to-account transfers and person-to-person payments. Our businesses in this segment also provide investment account processing services for separately managed accounts, card and print personalization services, and fraud and risk management products and services. The Financial segment provides banks, thrifts and credit unions with account processing services, item processing and source capture services, loan origination and servicing products, cash management and consulting services, and other products and services that support numerous types of financial transactions. The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of unallocated corporate expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and intercompany eliminations. On January 14, 2013, we acquired Open Solutions Inc. (“Open Solutions”), a provider of account processing technology for financial institutions for a cash purchase price of $55 million. We also assumed approximately $960 million of Open Solutions’ debt in connection with the acquisition. This acquisition advances Fiserv’s go- to-market strategies by adding a number of products and services and by expanding the number of account processing clients to which we can provide a broad array of our add-on solutions. In September 2011, we acquired CashEdge Inc. (“CashEdge”), a leading provider of consumer and business payments solutions such as account-to-account transfer, account opening and funding, data aggregation, small business invoicing and payments, and person-to-person payments, for approximately $460 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition of CashEdge has advanced our digital payments strategy. In the first quarter of 2011, we acquired Mobile Commerce Ltd. (“M-Com”), an international mobile banking and payments provider, and two other companies for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50 million, net of cash acquired. M-Com has enhanced our mobile and payments capabilities, and the other acquired companies have added to or enhanced specific products or services that we already provide. Enterprise Priorities We continue to implement a series of strategic initiatives to help accomplish our mission of providing integrated technology and services solutions that enable best-in-class results for our clients. These strategic initiatives include active portfolio management of our various businesses, enhancing the overall value of our existing client relationships, improving operational effectiveness, being disciplined in our allocation of capital, and differentiating our products and services through innovation. Our key enterprise priorities for 2013 are: (i) to continue to build high-quality revenue growth and meet our earnings commitments; (ii) to extend market momentum into deeper client relationships and a larger share of our strategic solutions; and (iii) to deliver innovation and integration to enhance results for our clients. 21 Industry Trends Market and regulatory conditions have continued to create a difficult operating environment for financial institutions and other businesses in the United States and internationally. In addition, legislation such as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has generated, and will continue to generate, numerous new regulations that will impact the financial industry. Financial institutions have generally remained cautious in their information technology spending as a result. These conditions have, however, created interest in solutions that help financial institutions win and retain customers, generate incremental revenue and enhance operating efficiency. Examples of these solutions include our digital channels and electronic payments solutions, including mobile banking and person-to-person payments. Despite the difficult environment over the past several years, our revenue increased 3% to $4.5 billion in 2012 as compared to 2011, our net income per share from continuing operations increased to $4.34 as compared to $3.40 in 2011, which included a loss from early debt extinguishment in 2011 of $0.37 per share, and net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $835 million. We believe these financial results demonstrate the resilience of our recurring, fee- based revenue model, the largely non-discretionary nature of our products and services, and mild improvement in the general condition of the financial industry. We anticipate that we will benefit over the long term from the trend of financial institutions moving from in-house technology solutions to outsourced solutions. During the past 25 years, the number of financial institutions in the United States has declined at a relatively steady rate of approximately 3% per year. This decline is primarily a result of voluntary mergers and acquisitions, although in the past several years was also due to government actions. In 2012, the number of government actions continued to decline as compared to 2011 and 2010. Although these reductions in the number of financial institutions resulted in the loss of a small number of our clients, bank failures and forced consolidations have been, to some extent, offset by a general decline in the number of mergers and acquisitions among financial institutions. A consolidation benefits us when a newly combined institution is processed on our platform, or elects to move to one of our platforms, and negatively impacts us when a competing platform is selected. Consolidations and acquisitions also impact our financial results due to early contract termination fees in our multi-year client contracts. Contract termination fees are primarily generated when an existing client with a multi-year contract is acquired by another financial institution. These fees can vary from period to period based on the number and size of clients that are acquired and how early in the contract term the contract is terminated. We generally do not receive contract termination fees when a financial institution is subject to a government action. Business Developments We continue to invest in the development of new and strategic products in categories such as payments, including Popmoney for person-to-person payments; Mobiliti for mobile banking and payments services; and others that we believe will increase value to our clients and enhance the capabilities of our existing solutions. We believe our wide range of market-leading solutions along with the investments we are making in new and differentiated products will favorably position us and our clients to capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace. Critical Accounting Policies General Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our consolidated financial statements. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that we believe are reasonable in light of current circumstances. Actual amounts and results could differ materially from these estimates. 22 Acquisitions We allocate the purchase price of acquired businesses to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction at their estimated fair values. The estimates used to determine the fair value of long-lived assets, such as intangible assets, can be complex and require significant judgments. We use information available to us to make fair value determinations and engage independent valuation specialists, when necessary, to assist in the fair value determination of significant acquired long-lived assets. We are also required to estimate the useful lives of intangible assets to determine the amount of acquisition-related intangible asset amortization expense to record in future periods. We periodically review the estimated useful lives assigned to our intangible assets to determine whether such estimated useful lives continue to be appropriate. Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets We review the carrying value of goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, determined to be at an operating segment level or one level below. We have not aggregated any operating segments into reporting units for purposes of conducting goodwill impairment testing. When reviewing goodwill for impairment, we first assess numerous qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units are less than their respective carrying values. Examples of qualitative factors that we assess include our share price, our financial performance, market and competitive factors in our industry and other events specific to our reporting units. If it is concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or to the extent a reorganization or disposition changes the composition of one or more of our reporting units, then we perform a quantitative two- step goodwill impairment test. The first step in this test is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. We determine the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the unit’s net assets, goodwill of that reporting unit is not impaired and further testing is not required. If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s net assets exceeds the fair value of the unit, then we perform the second step of the impairment test to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill and any impairment charge. Determining the fair value of a reporting unit involves judgment and the use of significant estimates and assumptions, which include assumptions regarding the revenue growth rates and operating margins used to calculate estimated future cash flows, risk-adjusted discount rates and future economic and market conditions. Our most recent impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2012 determined that our goodwill was not impaired. Based on the most recent fair value estimates, the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded its carrying value by a substantial margin. We review acquired intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on estimated fair value. Given the significance of our goodwill and intangible asset balances, an adverse change in fair value could result in an impairment charge, which could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Based on our impairment assessments in 2012, we determined that our acquired intangible assets were not impaired. Revenue Recognition The majority of our revenue is generated from monthly account- and transaction-based fees. Deferred revenue consists primarily of advance billings for services. Revenue is recognized as services are provided and is primarily recognized under service agreements that are long-term in nature, generally three to five years, and that do not require management to make significant judgments or assumptions. Additionally, given the nature of our business and the rules governing revenue recognition, our revenue recognition practices generally do not involve significant estimates that materially affect our results of operations. Additional information about our revenue recognition policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. 23 Results of Operations Components of Revenue and Expenses The following summary describes the components of revenue and expenses as presented in our consolidated statements of income. A description of our revenue recognition policies is included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. Processing and Services Processing and services revenue, which in 2012 represented 83% of our consolidated revenue, is primarily generated from account- and transaction-based fees under contracts that generally have terms of three to five years. Revenue is recognized when the related transactions are processed and services have been performed. Processing and services revenue is most reflective of our business performance because a significant amount of our total operating profit is generated by these services. Cost of processing and services includes costs directly associated with providing services to clients and includes the following: personnel; equipment and data communication; infrastructure costs, including costs to maintain software applications; client support; depreciation and amortization; and other operating expenses. Product Product revenue, which in 2012 represented 17% of our consolidated revenue, is derived from integrated print and card production (13%) and software licenses (4%). Cost of product includes costs directly associated with the products sold and includes the following: costs of materials and software development; personnel; infrastructure costs; depreciation and amortization; and other costs directly associated with product revenue. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of: salaries, wages and related expenses paid to sales personnel, administrative employees, and management; advertising and promotional costs; depreciation and amortization; and other selling and administrative expenses. 24 4% 11% 5% 5% 13% 7% 8% 7% (1%) (5%) Financial Results The following table presents certain amounts included in our consolidated statements of income, the relative percentage that those amounts represent to revenue and the change in those amounts from year to year.

Total Revenue Total revenue increased $145 million, or 3%, in 2012 and increased $204 million, or 5%, in 2011 compared to the prior years. The increase in total revenue during 2012 was primarily due to 5% revenue growth in our Payments segment and 2% revenue growth in our Financial segment, in each case, as compared to 2011. The increase in total revenue during 2011 was primarily due to 8% revenue growth in our Payments segment and 3% revenue growth in our Financial segment, in each case, as compared to 2010. Revenue from acquired companies contributed $43 million and $30 million to revenue in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenue in our Payments segment increased $108 million, or 5%, in 2012 and increased $173 million, or 8%, in 2011 compared to the prior years. Revenue growth in our Payments segment during 2012 and 2011 was primarily driven by our recurring revenue businesses as processing and services revenue increased $98 million and $99 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, or 6% each year. The growth in both years was primarily due to new clients and increased transaction volumes from existing clients in our card services business as well as our digital channels business, which includes our mobile banking solution. Revenue from acquired companies totaled $40 million and $26 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and positively impacted revenue growth by approximately two percentage points and one percentage point in the respective periods. In addition, higher postage pass-through revenue, which is included in both product revenue and cost of product in our output solutions business, contributed to growth in this segment by approximately one percentage point in 2012 and three percentage points in 2011. The positive growth in 2012 was partially offset by lower revenue in our electronic bill payment business, driven primarily by the loss of a client that was acquired by another financial institution. 26 Revenue in our Financial segment increased $36 million, or 2%, in 2012 and increased $53 million, or 3%, in 2011 compared to the prior years. Revenue growth in our Financial segment was favorably impacted by increases of $67 million, or 4%, and $42 million, or 2%, in 2012 and 2011, respectively, in processing and services revenue due primarily to increased revenue in our account processing and lending businesses, partially offset by volume declines in our check processing business. In addition, Financial segment growth was negatively impacted by approximately two percentage points in 2012 primarily due to lower software license revenue. Total Expenses Total expenses increased $85 million, or 3%, in 2012 compared to 2011 and increased $215 million, or 7%, in 2011 compared to 2010. Total expenses as a percentage of total revenue were 76.4%, 77.0% and 75.6% in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue decreased to 53.1% in 2012 and increased to 54.8% in 2011 from 54.3% in 2010. In 2012 and 2011, cost of processing and services as a percentage of processing and services revenue was favorably impacted by increased operating leverage in our recurring revenue businesses and operating efficiency initiatives across the company that lowered our overall cost structure. In 2011, this positive impact was offset by increased expenses associated with the development and support of new and existing products and services. Cost of product as a percentage of product revenue was 81.2% in 2012 compared to 75.7% in 2011 and 74.2% in 2010. The increase in cost of product as a percentage of product revenue in 2012 was primarily due to a decrease in high-margin software license sales as compared to 2011. The cost of product as a percentage of product revenue in both 2012 and 2011 was also impacted by an increase in postage pass-through revenue and expenses in our output solutions business. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $30 million, or 4%, and $59 million, or 8%, in 2012 and 2011, respectively, compared to the prior years; however, selling, general and administrative expense as a percentage of total revenue was relatively consistent in 2012 at 18.5% compared to 18.4% in 2011. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2011 was primarily in the Corporate and Other segment and was due to employee severance and merger and integration expenses. Operating Income and Operating Margin Total operating income increased $60 million, or 6%, in 2012 and decreased $11 million, or 1%, in 2011 compared to the prior years. Operating margin increased to 23.6% in 2012 from 23.0% in 2011 and decreased in 2011 from 24.4% in 2010. The operating margin improvement of 60 basis points in 2012 was due in part to increased operating leverage in our recurring revenue businesses and operational effectiveness activities that lowered our overall cost structure. The operating margin decline of 140 basis points in 2011 was primarily due to increased operating losses in the Corporate and Other segment primarily attributable to higher employee severance, merger and integration costs and amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Operating income in our Payments segment increased $12 million, or 2%, and $31 million, or 5%, in 2012 and 2011, respectively, compared to the prior years, primarily due to growth and operating leverage in our card services business. Operating margins were 26.8%, 27.5% and 28.3% in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and decreased 70 basis points in 2012 and 80 basis points in 2011. Payments segment operating margins in 2012 and 2011 were negatively impacted by increased expenses associated with the development, support and integration of new products and services, including Popmoney for person-to-person payments and Mobiliti for mobile banking and payment services. Operating margin was also negatively impacted in 2012 by a decrease in higher- margin software license revenue and by lower revenue in our electronic bill payment business driven primarily by the loss of a client that was acquired by another financial institution. In addition, operating margins in the Payments segment in 2012 and 2011 were negatively impacted by increased postage pass-through costs, which are included in both revenue and expenses. 27 Operating income in our Financial segment increased $39 million, or 6%, and $22 million, or 4%, in 2012 and 2011, respectively, compared to the prior years. Operating margins improved in both years and were 32.0%, 30.6% and 30.3% in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These improvements in operating income and operating margin in 2012 were primarily due to improved revenue growth and scale efficiencies in our account processing and lending businesses and operating efficiencies in our item processing businesses, partially offset by a decrease in higher-margin software license revenue. Operating margin in 2011 was consistent with 2010. The operating loss in the Corporate and Other segment decreased $9 million in 2012 and increased $64 million in 2011 compared to the prior years. The changes in operating loss were primarily due to employee severance and merger and integration costs which, in total, decreased $10 million in 2012 and increased $35 million in 2011 as compared to the respective prior year periods. In addition, the remaining increase in 2011 was also attributable to higher amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets. Interest Expense Interest expense decreased $14 million, or 7%, and $10 million, or 5%, in 2012 and 2011, respectively, compared to the prior years. These decreases were primarily due to lower average interest rates in 2012 and 2011 as compared to the prior years as a result of our debt refinancing activities. In 2012, interest expense was negatively impacted by $4 million of expense associated with hedge ineffectiveness recognized upon the settlement of our forward-starting interest rate swap agreements (“Forward-Starting Swaps”) in September of 2012. Loss on Early Debt Extinguishment In 2011 and 2010, we issued $1.0 billion and $750 million principal amount of senior notes, respectively, in public debt offerings and used proceeds from the offerings to repay our senior notes which matured in November 2012. The premium paid on the early retirement of debt and other costs associated with the transactions resulted in pre-tax charges of $85 million in 2011 and $26 million in 2010. Income Tax Provision Our effective income tax rate for continuing operations was 34.0% in 2012, 35.1% in 2011 and 38.0% in 2010. The lower effective tax rate in 2012 compared to 2011 was primarily due to increased deductions resulting from federal tax planning initiatives, including the associated discrete tax benefits. The lower effective tax rate in 2011 compared to 2010 was primarily due to the resolution of tax audits and changes in state tax laws. Income from Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate Our 49% share of the income of StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”) was $11 million, $18 million and $14 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, the increase in income was primarily due to a $3 million gain, representing our share, on the sale of a business by StoneRiver. Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations Income (loss) from discontinued operations related to prior dispositions totaled $14 million, $(19) million and $(10) million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and included income tax (expense) benefits of $(10) million, $13 million and $14 million, respectively. Net Income Per Share - Diluted from Continuing Operations Net income per share-diluted from continuing operations was $4.34 in 2012 compared to $3.40 in 2011 and $3.34 in 2010. Net income per share-diluted from continuing operations was negatively impacted by a loss on early debt extinguishment of $0.37 per share in 2011. The amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets also reduced net income per share-diluted from continuing operations by $0.76, $0.69 and $0.60 in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. 28 Liquidity and Capital Resources Our primary liquidity needs are: (i) to fund normal operating expenses; (ii) to meet the interest and principal requirements of our outstanding indebtedness; and (iii) to fund capital expenditures and operating lease payments. We believe these needs will be satisfied using cash flow generated by our operations, our cash and cash equivalents of $358 million at December 31, 2012 and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

In 2012, our working capital was negatively impacted by an increase in payments for discretionary and incentive-based employee compensation, including company 401k profit sharing contributions, and higher income tax payments in 2012 compared to 2011, partially offset by improved accounts receivable collections in 2012. Our current policy is to use our operating cash flow primarily to repay debt and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and share repurchases, rather than to pay dividends. Our capital expenditures of $195 million in 2012 remained relatively consistent with 2011 expenditures and were less than 5% of our total revenue in each year. In 2012 and 2011, we received cash dividends of $55 million and $54 million, respectively, from StoneRiver. The portions of these dividends that represented returns on our investment, $23 million in 2012 and $12 million in 2011, are reported in cash flows from operating activities. In 2011, we acquired CashEdge, M-Com and two other companies for an aggregate purchase price of $511 million, net of cash acquired. Share Repurchases We purchased $634 million, $533 million and $413 million of our common stock in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. On February 22, 2012, our board of directors authorized the purchase of up to ten million shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2012, we had approximately 5.6 million shares remaining under this authorization. Shares repurchased are generally held for issuance in connection with our equity plans. 29 Indebtedness (In millions) December 31, 2012 2011 Revolving credit facility . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 3.125% senior notes due 2015 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.125% senior notes due 2016 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6.8% senior notes due 2017 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.625% senior notes due 2020 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.75% senior notes due 2021 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.5% senior notes due 2022 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The remaining outstanding amount of the term loan was repaid upon maturity using available borrowings under our revolving credit facility and available cash. At December 31, 2012, our long-term debt consisted primarily of $2.95 billion of senior notes and $280 million in borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with all financial debt covenants in 2012. The acquisition of Open Solutions on January 14, 2013 for a cash purchase price of $55 million and repayment of assumed debt of $960 million was funded in 2013 utilizing a combination of available cash and existing availability under our revolving credit facility. Revolving Credit Facility In August 2012, we entered into a $2.0 billion Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks, replacing our existing $1.0 billion revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to expire in September 2014. Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the bank’s base rate (1.3% at December 31, 2012). There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The facility expires on August 1, 2017 and contains various restrictions and covenants that require us, among other things, to (i) limit our consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, and (ii) maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of four fiscal quarters then ended. Senior Notes In September 2012, we issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 3.5% senior notes due in October 2022, which pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2013. In June 2011, we issued $1.0 billion of senior notes comprised of $600 million of 3.125% senior notes due in June 2016 and $400 million of 4.75% senior notes due in June 2021, which pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. Our 3.125% senior notes due in October 2015 and our 4.625% senior notes due in October 2020 pay interest at the stated rate on April 1 and October 1 of each year. Our 6.8% senior notes due in November 2017 pay interest at the stated rate on May 20 and November 20 of each year. The interest rates 30 applicable to the senior notes are subject to an increase of up to two percent in the event that our credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. The indenture governing the senior notes contains covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) our ability to consolidate or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to, another person, (ii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. In June 2011, we purchased $700 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.125% senior notes due in November 2012 in a tender offer for $754 million, and in July 2011, we redeemed the remaining $300 million aggregate principal amount of these notes for $322 million. Senior Term Loan Our senior term loan matured in November 2012 and was repaid using a combination of proceeds from the September 2012 issuance of senior notes, our revolving credit facility and available cash. Term loan borrowings under this facility bore interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the bank’s base rate. Interest Rate Hedge Contracts To manage exposure to fluctuations in interest rates, we maintained Forward-Starting Swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $550 million to hedge against changes in interest rates applicable to forecasted five-year and ten-year fixed rate borrowings. Upon the issuance of senior notes in September 2012, we paid $88 million, included in cash flows from operating activities, to settle the Forward-Starting Swaps and recognized approximately $4 million of interest expense due to hedge ineffectiveness. The remaining $84 million is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes of $33 million, and will be recognized as interest expense over the terms of the originally forecasted interest payments. In addition, we maintained interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”), designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $1.0 billion to hedge against changes in interest rates on floating rate term loan borrowings. The Swaps, which expired in September 2012, effectively fixed the interest rate on floating rate term loan borrowings at a weighted-average rate of approximately 5.0% prior to financing spreads and related fees. There were no Swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2012. Shelf Registration Statement In 2010, we filed a “shelf” registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Under the registration statement, we may sell common stock, preferred stock and debt securities, or a combination thereof. Each time we sell securities pursuant to the shelf registration statement, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of the securities being offered and of the offering. We may offer and sell the securities pursuant to this prospectus from time to time in one or more of the following ways: through underwriters or dealers, through agents, directly to purchasers or through a combination of any of these methods of sales. Proceeds from the sale of these securities may be used to repay debt or for working capital, acquisitions or general corporate purposes. Other Access to capital markets impacts our cost of capital, our ability to refinance maturing debt and our ability to fund future acquisitions. Our ability to access capital on favorable terms depends on a number of factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt securities, perception of our potential future earnings and the market price of our common stock. As of December 31, 2012, we had a credit rating of Baa2 with a stable outlook from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and BBB- with a stable outlook from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) on our senior unsecured debt securities. 31 The interest rate payable on our senior notes is subject to adjustment from time to time if Moody’s or S&P downgrades (or subsequently upgrades) the debt rating applicable to the notes. If the ratings from Moody’s or S&P decrease below investment grade, the per annum interest rate on the notes is subject to increase by up to two percent. In no event will the per annum interest rate be reduced below the original interest rate applicable to the senior notes nor will the total increase in the per annum interest rate exceed two percent above the original interest rate. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations We do not participate in, nor have we created, any off-balance sheet variable interest entities or other off-balance sheet financing, other than letters of credit.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates, indices, correlations or other market factors, such as liquidity, will result in losses for a certain financial instrument or group of financial instruments. We are exposed primarily to interest rate risk and market price risk on outstanding debt, investments of subscriber funds and foreign currency. We actively monitor these risks through a variety of control procedures involving senior management. In connection with processing electronic payments transactions, the funds we receive from subscribers are invested from the time we collect the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients. These subscriber funds are primarily invested in short-term instruments that are guaranteed by the United States government. Subscriber funds are not included in our consolidated balance sheets and can fluctuate significantly based on consumer bill payment and debit card activity. Based on average subscriber funds balances during 2012 of approximately $1.0 billion, a 1% increase in applicable interest rates would increase our annual pre-tax income by approximately $10 million, and if applicable interest rates decreased to zero, our annual pre-tax income would decrease by less than $5 million. We manage our debt structure and interest rate risk through the use of fixed- and floating-rate debt and previously through the use of interest rate hedge contracts. We previously maintained interest rate swap agreements with total notional values of $1 billion and forward-starting swaps with a total notional value of $550 million to partially hedge our exposure to interest rate changes and to control financing costs. All interest rate hedge contracts were settled or expired in September 2012. Based on our outstanding debt with variable interest rates at December 31, 2012, a 1% increase in our borrowing rate would increase annual interest expense in 2013 by less than $5 million. We conduct business in the United States and in foreign countries and are exposed to foreign currency risk from changes in the value of underlying assets and liabilities of our non-U.S. dollar denominated foreign investments and foreign currency transactions. In 2012, 7% of our total revenue was from clients in foreign countries. Risk can be estimated by measuring the impact of a near-term adverse movement of 10% in foreign currency rates against the U.S. dollar. If these rates were 10% higher or lower at December 31, 2012, there would not have been a material adverse impact on our annual income from continuing operations or financial position. 32 Item 8.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Description of the Business Fiserv, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) provide financial services technology to clients worldwide, including banks, thrifts, credit unions, investment management firms, leasing and finance companies, retailers, merchants and government agencies. The Company provides account processing systems, electronic payments processing products and services, internet and mobile banking systems, and related services. The Company is principally located in the United States where it operates data and transaction processing centers, develops software, performs item processing and check imaging and provides technology support. The Company’s operations are comprised of the Payments and Industry Products (“Payments”) segment and the Financial Institution Services (“Financial”) segment. The Payments segment primarily provides electronic bill payment and presentment services, debit and other card-based payment products and services, internet and mobile banking software and services, and other electronic payments software and services including account-to- account transfers and person-to-person payments. The businesses in this segment also provide investment account processing services for separately managed accounts, card and print personalization services, and fraud and risk management products and services. The Financial segment provides banks, thrifts and credit unions with account processing services, item processing and source capture services, loan origination and servicing products, cash management and consulting services, and other products and services that support numerous types of financial transactions. The Corporate and Other segment primarily consists of unallocated corporate expenses, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and intercompany eliminations. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Fiserv, Inc. and all 100% owned subsidiaries. Investments in less than 50% owned affiliates in which the Company has significant influence are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. Fair Value Measurements The Company applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in its financial statements on a recurring basis. Fair value represents the amount that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values of cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, settlement assets and obligations, and accounts payable approximate their respective carrying values due to the short period of time to maturity. The estimated fair value of long-term debt is described in Note 4 and was estimated using discounted cash flows based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates or quoted prices in active markets (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). 39 Derivatives Derivatives are recorded on the balance sheets as either an asset or liability measured at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and recognized in the consolidated statements of income when the hedged item affects earnings. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings. To the extent the fair value hedge is effective, there is an offsetting adjustment to the basis of the item being hedged. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of hedges are recognized in earnings. The Company’s policy is to enter into derivatives with creditworthy institutions and not to enter into such derivatives for speculative purposes. Foreign Currency Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, where the functional currency is the local currency, are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency translation are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Revenue Recognition Processing and services revenue is recognized as services are provided and is primarily derived from account- and transaction-based fees for data processing, transaction processing, electronic billing and payment services, electronic funds transfer and debit processing services, consulting services and software maintenance fees. Software maintenance fee revenue for ongoing client support is recognized ratably over the term of the applicable support period, which is generally 12 months. Deferred revenue consists primarily of advance billings for services and is recognized as revenue when the services are provided. Product revenue is primarily derived from software license sales, which represent less than 5% of total revenue, and integrated print and card production sales. For software license agreements that do not require significant customization or modification, the Company recognizes software license revenue upon delivery, assuming persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the license fee is fixed and determinable and collection is reasonably assured. Arrangements with customers that include significant customization, modification, or production of software are accounted for under contract accounting, with the revenue being recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. The Company includes reimbursements from clients, such as postage and telecommunication costs, in processing and services revenue, product revenue, cost of processing and services, and cost of product. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses primarily consist of: salaries, wages and related expenses paid to sales personnel, administrative employees and management; advertising and promotional costs; depreciation and amortization; and other selling and administrative expenses. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The Company analyzes trade accounts receivable by considering historical bad debts, client creditworthiness, current economic trends, changes in client payment terms and collection trends when evaluating the adequacy of 40 the allowance for doubtful accounts. Any change in the assumptions used in analyzing a specific account receivable may result in an additional allowance for doubtful accounts being recognized in the period in which the change occurs. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $9 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011. Prepaid Expenses Prepaid expenses represent advance payments for goods and services to be consumed in the future, such as maintenance, postage and insurance, and totaled $97 million and $95 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Settlement Assets and Obligations Settlement assets of $222 million and $183 million were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and settlement obligations of $216 million and $195 million were included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Settlement assets and obligations primarily represent amounts receivable from or payable to clients, agents and payment networks associated with the Company’s walk-in and expedited bill payment service businesses. The majority of these assets and obligations result from timing differences between collecting funds from payment networks or directly from consumers who are making payments and depositing the funds collected into the Company’s bank accounts. Settlement assets and obligations also arise due to the reporting of transactions to clients prior to fulfilling the payment obligation. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are reported at cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the leasehold period, if applicable. Property and equipment consisted of the following at December 31: (In millions) Estimated Useful Lives 2012 2011 Land . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Acquired software and technology represents software and technology intangible assets obtained as part of acquired businesses and are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally four to eight years. Trade names are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally 10 to 20 years. Amortization expense for acquired intangible assets, which include customer related intangible assets, acquired software and technology and trade names, totaled $163 million, $157 million and $148 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Company continually develops, maintains and enhances its products and systems. In each of 2012, 2011 and 2010, product development expenditures represented approximately 9% of the Company’s total revenue. Research and development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are expensed as incurred. Routine maintenance of software products, design costs and other development costs incurred prior to the establishment of a product’s technological feasibility are also expensed as incurred. Costs are capitalized commencing when the technological feasibility of the software has been established. Capitalized software development costs represent the capitalization of certain costs incurred to develop new software or to enhance existing software which is marketed externally or utilized by the Company to process client transactions. Capitalized software development costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives, generally five years. Gross software development costs capitalized for new products and enhancements to existing products totaled $104 million, $93 million and $86 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Amortization of previously capitalized development costs was $74 million, $67 million and $58 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Purchased software represents software licenses purchased from third parties and is amortized over the estimated useful lives, generally three to five years. Amortization of purchased software totaled $34 million, $38 million and $42 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. 42 The Company estimates that annual amortization expense with respect to acquired intangible assets recorded at December 31, 2012 will be approximately $160 million in 2013 and 2014, approximately $150 million in 2015, approximately $110 million in 2016 and approximately $100 million in 2017. Annual amortization expense in 2013 with respect to capitalized and purchased software recorded at December 31, 2012 is estimated to approximate $110 million. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if circumstances indicate possible impairment. Goodwill is tested for impairment at a reporting unit level, determined to be at an operating segment level or one level below. The Company has not aggregated any operating segments into reporting units for purposes of conducting goodwill impairment testing. When reviewing goodwill for impairment, the Company first assesses numerous qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of its reporting units are less than their respective carrying values. If it is concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, or to the extent a reorganization or disposition changes the composition of one or more reporting units, then the Company performs a two-step quantitative impairment test by comparing reporting unit carrying values to estimated fair values. No impairment was identified in the Company’s annual impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2012 as estimated fair values of the respective reporting units substantially exceed the carrying values. In addition, there is no accumulated impairment loss through December 31, 2012. The changes in goodwill during 2012 and 2011 were as follows: (In millions) Payments Financial Total Goodwill - December 31, 2010 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Acquired goodwill . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,114 343 $ 1,263 - $ 4,377 343 Goodwill - December 31, 2011 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,457 Purchase accounting adjustments . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The Company reviews capitalized software development costs for impairment at each balance sheet date. Recoverability of property and equipment and intangible assets is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. The Company’s investment in unconsolidated affiliate is assessed by comparing the carrying amount of the investment to its estimated fair value and is impaired if the decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary. Measurement of any impairment loss is based on estimated fair value. Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s long-term debt totaled $47 million and $35 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization was $21 million and $16 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deferred financing costs are reported in other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the term of the underlying debt using the interest method. 43 Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following at December 31: (In millions) 2012 2011 Trade accounts payable . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ Settlement obligations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and net operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance, if necessary, is recorded against deferred tax assets for which utilization of the asset is not likely.

Acquisitions In September 2011, the Company acquired CashEdge Inc. (“CashEdge”), a leading provider of consumer and business payments solutions such as account-to-account transfer, account opening and funding, data aggregation, small business invoicing and payments, and person-to-person payments, for approximately $460 million, net of cash acquired. The acquisition of CashEdge has advanced the Company’s digital payments strategies. The purchase price allocation resulted in customer related intangible assets of $54 million, software and technology of $44 million, goodwill of $330 million, net deferred tax assets of $27 million and other identifiable net assets of less than $10 million. The goodwill recognized in this transaction was not deductible for tax purposes and was primarily attributed to anticipated revenue and earnings growth associated with the products and services that CashEdge provides and the anticipated value of selling CashEdge’s products and services into the Company’s existing client base. In the first quarter of 2011, the Company acquired Mobile Commerce Ltd. (“M-Com”), an international mobile banking and payments provider, and two other companies for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50 million, net of cash acquired. M-Com has enhanced the Company’s mobile and payments capabilities, and the other acquired companies have added to or enhanced specific products or services that the Company already provides. 3. Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate The Company owns a 49% interest in StoneRiver Group, L.P. (“StoneRiver”) and reports its share of StoneRiver’s net income as income from investment in unconsolidated affiliate. The Company’s investment in StoneRiver was $78 million and $119 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and was reported within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. In 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company received cash dividends from StoneRiver of $55 million, $54 million, and $61 million, respectively, which were recorded as reductions in the Company’s investment in StoneRiver. A portion of the dividends, $23 million in 2012, $12 million in 2011 and $40 million in 2010 represented a return on the Company’s investment and were reported in 45 cash flows from operating activities. In 2010, in a non-cash transaction, the Company retired a $59 million obligation owed to StoneRiver in exchange for the retirement of loans receivable due from StoneRiver totaling $59 million. Also in 2010, the Company received loan repayments from StoneRiver totaling $28 million. 4.

Borrowings under the amended revolving credit facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the bank’s base rate (1.3% at December 31, 2012). There are no significant commitment fees and no compensating balance requirements. The facility expires on August 1, 2017 and contains various restrictions and covenants that require the Company, among other things, to (i) limit its consolidated indebtedness as of the end of each fiscal quarter to no more than three and one-half times consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments during the period of four fiscal quarters then ended, and (ii) maintain consolidated net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and certain other adjustments of at least three times consolidated interest expense as of the end of each fiscal quarter for the period of four fiscal quarters then ended. 46 Senior Notes In September 2012, the Company issued $700 million aggregate principal amount of 3.5% senior notes due in October 2022, which pay interest semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on April 1, 2013. Net proceeds from the issuance of the notes were primarily used to repay a portion of the Company’s senior term loan that was due in November 2012. In June 2011, the Company issued $1.0 billion of senior notes comprised of $600 million of 3.125% senior notes due in June 2016 and $400 million of 4.75% senior notes due in June 2021, which pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Company’s 3.125% senior notes due in October 2015 and its 4.625% senior notes due in October 2020 pay interest at the stated rate on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The Company’s 6.8% senior notes due in November 2017 pay interest at the stated rate on May 20 and November 20 of each year. The interest rates applicable to the senior notes are subject to an increase of up to two percent in the event that the Company’s credit rating is downgraded below investment grade. The indenture governing the senior notes contains covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to, another person; (ii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to create or assume liens, and (iii) the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions. In June 2011, the Company purchased $700 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.125% senior notes due in November 2012 in a tender offer for $754 million, and in July 2011, the Company redeemed the remaining $300 million aggregate principal amount of these notes for $322 million. In October 2010, the Company purchased $250 million aggregate principal amounts of its 6.125% senior notes due in November 2012 for $276 million. The Company recorded pre-tax losses on early debt extinguishment for the premiums paid and other costs associated with these transactions of $85 million in 2011 and $26 million in 2010. Senior Term Loan The Company’s senior term loan matured in November 2012 and was repaid using a combination of proceeds from the September 2012 issuance of senior notes, the Company’s revolving credit facility and available cash. Term loan borrowings under this facility bore interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus a specified margin or the bank’s base rate. 5. Interest Rate Hedge Contracts The Company maintained forward-starting interest rate swap agreements (“Forward-Starting Swaps”), designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $550 million to hedge against changes in interest rates applicable to forecasted five-year and ten-year fixed rate borrowings. Upon the issuance of senior notes in September 2012, the Company paid $88 million, included in cash flows from operating activities, to settle the Forward-Starting Swaps and recognized approximately $4 million of interest expense due to hedge ineffectiveness. The remaining $84 million is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes of $33 million, and will be recognized as interest expense over the terms of the originally forecasted interest payments. The Company also maintained interest rate swap agreements (“Swaps”), designated as cash flow hedges, with a total notional value of $1.0 billion to hedge against changes in interest rates on floating rate term loan borrowings. The Swaps, which expired in September 2012, effectively fixed the interest rate on floating rate term loan borrowings at a weighted-average rate of approximately 5.0% prior to financing spreads and related fees. In 2012 and 2011, interest expense recognized due to hedge ineffectiveness on the Swaps was not significant, and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. There were no Swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2012. The fair values of the Swaps and Forward-Starting Swaps at December 31, 2011 totaled $98 million and were recorded in current liabilities and in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes, in the 47 consolidated balance sheet. The components of other comprehensive income pertaining to interest rate hedge contracts are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Based on the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss at December 31, 2012, the Company estimates that it will recognize approximately $14 million in interest expense during the next twelve months related to settled interest rate hedge contracts. In connection with its issuance of senior notes in 2011, the Company entered into a series of treasury lock agreements (“Treasury Locks”), which were designated as cash flow hedges, with total notional values of $600 million to hedge against changes in interest rates. Upon issuance of these senior notes, the Company paid $6 million to settle the Treasury Locks. This payment was included in cash flows from operating activities, was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of income taxes of $2 million, and will be recognized as interest expense over the terms of the senior notes. 6.

In 2013, reductions to unrecognized tax benefits for decreases in tax positions taken in prior years, settlements and the lapse of statutes of limitations are estimated to total approximately $8 million. The Company classifies interest and penalties related to income taxes as components of its income tax provision. The income tax provision from continuing operations included interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits of less than $1 million in each of 2012, 2011 and 2010. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits totaled $6 million and $5 million at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company’s federal tax returns for 2006 through 2012 and tax returns in certain states and foreign jurisdictions for 2006 through 2012 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities. At December 31, 2012, 49 the Company had federal net operating loss carry-forwards of $93 million, which expire in 2014 through 2030, state net operating loss carry-forwards of $336 million, which expire in 2013 through 2032, and foreign net operating loss carry-forwards of $55 million, $13 million of which expire in 2016 through 2032 and the remainder of which do not expire. 7. Employee Stock and Savings Plans Stock Plans The Company recognizes the fair value of share-based compensation granted to employees in cost of processing and services, cost of product and selling, general and administrative expense in its consolidated statements of income. The Company’s share-based compensation primarily consists of the following: Stock Options – The Company generally grants stock options to employees and non-employee directors at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the dates of grant, which are typically in the first quarter of the year. Stock options generally vest over a three year period beginning on the first anniversary of the grant. All stock options expire ten years from the date of the award. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the fair value of the stock options over the requisite service period of the stock option award. Restricted Stock Units – The Company awards restricted stock units to employees and non-employee directors. The Company recognizes compensation expense for restricted stock units based on the market price of the common stock on the date of award over the period during which the awards vest. Employee Stock Purchase Plan – The Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan that allows eligible employees to purchase a limited number of shares of common stock each quarter through payroll deductions at 85% of the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the last business day of each calendar quarter. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to the 15% discount on the purchase date. Share-based compensation expense was $44 million in 2012 and $39 million in each of 2011 and 2010. The income tax benefits related to share-based compensation totaled $15 million, $14 million and $13 million in 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost for unvested stock options and restricted stock units, net of estimated forfeitures, of $53 million is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years. The weighted-average estimated fair value of stock options granted during 2012, 2011 and 2010 was $21.71, $22.68 and $17.46 per share, respectively. The fair values of stock options granted were estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option-pricing model with the following assumptions: 2012 2011 2010 Expected life (in years) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. treasury yield curve in effect as of the grant date. Expected volatility is determined using weighted-average implied market volatility combined with historical volatility. The Company believes that a blend of historical volatility and implied volatility better reflects future market conditions and better indicates expected volatility than purely historical volatility. 50 A summary of stock option activity is as follows: Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In millions) Shares (In thousands) Stock options outstanding - December 31, 2011 . . . . . .

Commitments and Contingencies Litigation In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in lawsuits in which claims are asserted against the Company. In the opinion of management, the liabilities, if any, which may ultimately result from such lawsuits are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Electronic Payments Transactions In connection with the Company’s processing of electronic payments transactions, funds received from subscribers are invested from the time the Company collects the funds until payments are made to the applicable recipients. These subscriber funds are primarily invested in short-term instruments that are guaranteed by the United States government. Subscriber funds, which are not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, can fluctuate significantly based on consumer bill payment and debit card activity and totaled approximately $1.6 billion at December 31, 2012. Indemnifications and Warranties Subject to limitations and exclusions, the Company generally indemnifies its clients from certain costs resulting from claims of patent, copyright or trademark infringement associated with its clients’ use of the Company’s products or services. The Company may also warrant to clients that its products and services will operate substantially in accordance with identified specifications. From time to time, in connection with sales of businesses, the Company agrees to indemnify the buyers for liabilities associated with the businesses that are sold. Payments net of recoveries under such indemnification or warranty provisions were not material to the Company’s results of operations or financial position. 52 9.

Subsequent Events On January 14, 2013, the Company acquired Open Solutions Inc. (“Open Solutions”), a provider of account processing technology for financial institutions for a cash purchase price of $55 million. The Company also assumed approximately $960 million of Open Solutions’ debt in connection with the acquisition. This acquisition advances Fiserv’s go-to-market strategies by adding a number of products and services and by expanding the Company’s number of account processing clients to which the Company can provide a broad array of its add-on solutions. 61 The Company anticipates that Open Solutions will be primarily integrated into the Financial segment during 2013.

The amounts allocated to goodwill and intangible assets are based on preliminary valuations and are subject to final adjustment. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in goodwill of approximately $570 million, of which a portion is expected to be deductible for tax purposes, and is primarily attributable to synergies with the products and services that Open Solutions provides and the anticipated value of selling the Company’s products and services to Open Solutions’ existing client base.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fiserv, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 22, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Milwaukee, Wisconsin February 22, 2013 63 Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure Not applicable. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012. (b) Management Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment, our management believes that, as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued their attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The report is included below under the heading “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.” (c) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, whether any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. During the quarter, we began to implement a billing module within our SAP enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system, which we expect to further integrate our systems and improve the overall efficiency of our billing and collection processes. We expect the implementation of this module to continue in phases over the next few years, which we believe will reduce implementation risk. The design and documentation of our internal control processes and procedures related to billing will be appropriately modified to supplement existing internal controls over financial reporting. As with any new technology, this module, and the internal controls over financial reporting included in the related processes, will be tested for effectiveness prior to 64 and concurrent with the implementation. We believe the implementation of the billing module within our ERP system will further strengthen the related internal controls due to enhanced automation and integration of processes. Based on the evaluation we conducted, our management has concluded that there have not been any other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. (d) Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and has issued their report as set forth below. 65 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Fiserv, Inc.: We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Fiserv, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control- Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012 of the Company and our report dated February 22, 2013 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Milwaukee, Wisconsin February 22, 2013 66 Item 9B.
