A Community-Minded Company
In addition to being known as a leading global pay-
ments platform company, TSYS also places an emphasis
on being involved in the communities in which we are
located. In 2014, TSYS received The Civic 50 award for
the second consecutive year, recognizing us as one of
the most community-minded companies in the United
States. The companies that receive this prestigious
award are considered the leaders in committing time,
skills and other resources to improve the quality of life
in communities where we do business.
Also in 2014, TSYS was honored to receive the Corporate
Social Responsibility Leadership Award from the
Financial Services Roundtable for our commitment to
volunteerism and community service. For more than 30
years, our team members have told us that one of the
greatest things about working at TSYS is their ability to
get involved in their communities, such as collectively
donating time and resources to United Way chap-
ters across the United States each year. We also have
pioneered efforts like Community Connect, where our
NetSpend team members step into their customers’
shoes for a day, performing random acts of kindness
while also learning more about our customers’ needs
and how our prepaid products impact their daily lives
in a positive way. Whether it relates to our business or
the greater community, we remain focused on making
TSYS a great place to work, a key to delivering on our
brand of People-Centered Payments.
In another tremendous honor for our company, we
recently learned that TSYS has been named as one
of the 2015 World’s Most Ethical Companies by the
Ethisphere Institute. This award means we have been
recognized for demonstrated leadership in ethical
business practices
—
an accolade we are proud
to say we have received for the third time in
four years.
Looking Ahead
It’s a new era
—
for both our company and the
industry, but TSYS’ core mission remains the same
—
to
support payments that revolve around people.
But with the never-ending changes in technology,
regulation and consumer habits, and the disruption
of legacy business models, we realize we must pursue
smart new strategies for increasing our market share.
The urgency is only growing because the payments
industry is getting more crowded, better-funded
and far more innovative.
We are confident in our vision, our prospects and
the strategies that will guide us. We hope you share
our excitement about putting people at the center
of payments, which will continue to fuel our company’s
growth and enhance our position of strength.
We offer our deepest gratitude for the support of our
shareholders, team members and friends as we
pursue this bold and exciting agenda.
Sincerely,
M. Troy Woods
President and Chief Executive Officer
Philip W. Tomlinson
