Fiserv Gives Back; Donates School Supplies to Communities Across the Country, Including Lake Mary, Fla.

Lake Mary, Fla., September 25, 2012 - Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today that Fiserv associates in communities across the country, including Lake Mary, Fla., held back-to-school drives throughout the months of July and August in order to collect and donate school supplies to not-for-profits in their local communities.

The Fiserv Lake Mary office delivered three large bags and one large box filled with school supplies to the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida. According to the website, the mission of the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those from disadvantaged circumstances, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.

In the past year, the Lake Mary office also collected toys during the holiday season for both the Boys & Girls Club of Central Florida and New Hope for Kids, held a Share our Strength Great American Bake Sale going towards fighting childhood hunger in America and annually collects supplies and monetary donations for members of the U.S. Military through Operation Troop Appreciation. For the last 15 years, the office has sponsored four Coalition for the Homeless Dinners each year, which includes associates shopping, cooking and serving the food. The Lake Mary office also holds monthly fundraisers to benefit local organizations that are nominated by Lake Mary associates. Some of the 2012 charities included Hospice of the Comforter, Relay for Life and Hope Helps.

In the U.S., Fiserv is supporting a variety of not-for-profits with school supply drives in the following cities: Dallas; Hillsboro, Ore.; Jersey City, N.J.; King of Prussia, Pa; Lake Mary, Fla.; Morris Plains, N.J; Norcross, Ga.; and South Bend, Ind. Fiserv estimates its associates have delivered, in total, over 5,500 individual school supplies to communities across the country this summer.

"Education is an important area of giving for Fiserv and its associates," said Judy DeRango Wicks, vice president, Communications, Fiserv. "Education is at the core of a healthy and successful child, and can provide guidance for all areas of life including future financial decisions. For this reason, many associates at our offices across the country work to donate school supplies during the back-to-school season."

Fiserv core values are demonstrated by supporting the communities in which its associates live and work, with a focus on youth service organizations and providing assistance in the areas of health and wellness, education and financial literacy. Fiserv annual contributions include both monetary support and the organization of volunteer efforts. The company has a volunteer network called "Fiserv Gives Back" in which nearly 20,000 hours have been logged to over 300 different organizations year-to-date in 2012.
