Whilst the promise of a single European market has helped create a more dynamic environment for financial services and the payments industry, the reality of the current economic climate has presented many pressing challenges for European issuers and acquirers. Already confronted by rising costs of compliance, mounting regulatory directives and an increasingly consolidated competitive landscape, maintaining even modest growth has become a key concern.

As a global payments solution provider, TSYS® can help turn these challenges into opportunities with the right solutions, expertise and experience to help you achieve cost efficiencies and best position your business for growth. Specific to EU needs, TSYS provides EMV-compliant support for multiple countries, languages and currencies. We offer a broad range of technology solutions, both licensed and outsourced, giving you options that are tailored for your business model. This is the type of flexibility that characterises TSYS throughout the world.

Buyers and sellers, you and us —

that’s the brains behind Europe’s

digital commerce.

The European payments business

is constantly being reshaped by

unique market characteristics that define the way buyers and sellers connect. The

competitive landscape is tightening, the cost of doing business is increasing and

some have suggested that prospects for growth may seem stagnant. But in the face

of these challenges lie significant opportunities in digital commerce.

In 2011, we celebrated

Since those early days, we have grown to become a corporately stable, financially strong, multinational with offices and data centres located around the globe. The people of TSYS understand that this longevity and success is driven by our clients’ success, and their success is contingent upon the satisfaction of the end consumer. As one of the world’s most reliable independent service providers, we serve European issuers with a suite of leading solutions.

Processing

We provide a unique range of payment solutions to suit your individual business models, based on a shared European platform. We offer our TS2® processing service as an outsourced model, as well as the PRIME platform complete with value-added modules as a licensed model, and a combination of all services as a hybrid solution. TSYS believes that the choice of in-house,

outsourcing or hybrid payment solution models will prove economically advantageous and strategically sound for our clients.

Issuing

TSYS provides its clients with the most comprehensive, end-to-end issuer solution available. Our solutions enable you to manage your customers through the entire life cycle of an account — from determining the best prospects for your products and initiating campaigns to acquire them, to collections, recovery and beyond; all backed by best-of-breed reporting and data analytics. We offer integrated solutions for prospect and campaign management, cardholder servicing, collections and recovery, fraud prevention and detection, marketing and product management, portfolio and account management, card issuance, fulfillment, credit decisioning and application processing.

BUYERS: Supporting cross-border,

multiple country payments

Although now a major multinational payments processor with a strong

commitment to the European market, TSYS originated from a U.S.-based

community bank when the North American credit-card industry was just

emerging. Though much has changed since we began our earliest roots in

banking, the end consumer is still at the heart of the transaction, making

choices about when, where and how to make purchases.

Debit

TSYS’ long-term strategy for debit is based upon a dedicated platform approach offering

a single-comprehensive debit card management solution, tailored to meet specific debit card processing needs, market-driven changes, usage preferences and compliance-driven mandates in a cost effective, customer-centric way. Risk management tools that enable customer security and real-time fraud detection are also paramount as well as support for increasing customer expectations for flexible payment options and loyalty.

Prepaid

TSYS is a leading provider of prepaid card solutions that utilise the Visa, MasterCard, EFT and ATM networks for major global companies as well as domestic and international financial institutions. TSYS provides a dynamic, data-driven processing platform that integrates real-time administration and reporting tools, sophisticated marketing and communications technologies, and leading compliance and risk management systems, as well as other unique capabilities that are vital to processing for the prepaid market.

Managed Services

To further complement our payments processing solutions, TSYS also offers comprehensive managed services support for front or back office activities, utilising personnel who are specialists in key functions (fraud-case management and strategy, disputes and chargebacks, for example) to drive business benefits for our clients. This includes support for a variety of card programs, including commercial and consumer credit, debit, retail and prepaid. We also support clients globally across all TSYS processing platforms — issuing, acquiring and prepaid and loyalty — with Customer services, Risk-management services, Back-office support and Telesales services.

Licensing

Our single platform, licensed solution, PRIME, is a proven card and merchant management solution developed over the last twenty years to provide advanced multi-product support for credit, debit, charge, prepaid, loyalty, Islamic, commercial, private label cards, instalments, contactless and much more. It provides modular, user-friendly, operational support for all aspects of the card and merchant life cycle, including disputes and chargebacks, Web-based customer service, collections, fraud prevention and detection, and it is used by leading banks across the region.

flexIbIlIty at the core

TSYS offers the kind of flexibility that will enable you to

deploy both in-house systems and our outsourced processing

services if you are looking to expand your offerings

multinationally — giving you a familiar look and feel and

capability across all your products globally. For example,

if you are seeking a cross-border issuing and acquiring

capability, we can reduce your costs of system deployment,

servicing, support and scaling costs without significant

infrastructure investment. Our parameter-driven systems

enable rapid market entry, helping you pursue a fast

time-to-market, aggressive growth strategy in new territories where

you may have little or no physical presence.

We deliver comprehensive, end-to-end payment solutions to enable acquirers and their merchants to reliably process millions of card-based

transactions every day. From authorising and capturing electronic payments at the point of sale (POS) to clearing and settling merchant transactions, to managing merchant terminals and providing information management services; we support acquirers in effectively managing and growing their merchant portfolios. Not only is it important to build relationships with the end consumer, but the merchants they do business with. We achieve this through:

From assessing the risk of new applications to fulfillment with processes and communications in place to monitor

SELLERS: Accepting virtually any form of payment

Today’s European merchants look starkly different than their predecessors. In fact,

the shop owner who spends the day waiting behind the counter is being displaced

by a new type of merchant — one who is increasingly both physical and virtual,

on the go and in ‘the cloud,’ and who isn’t willing to wait passively for customers.

Since establishing a European presence in 1991, TSYS has grown its business to

become the foremost provider of processing for more than 53 million accounts

across continental Europe and the preferred licensed solutions provider for more

than 20 of the region’s leading banks.
