Fiserv Gives Back; Donates School Supplies to Communities Across the Country, Including King of Prussia, Pa.

King of Prussia, Pa., 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 King of Prussia, Pa., 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 King of Prussia office collected 22 backpacks filled with school supplies to be donated to the Montgomery County Office of Children & Youth, which offers a variety of services and support to abused and neglected children in the area.

In the past year, the King of Prussia office held a variety of charitable events including its annual Share our Strength Great American Bake Sale, which raised $4,500 for fighting childhood hunger in America. In November, the office participated in the local, annual "Campout for Hunger" food drive. Additionally, the male associates participated in the national movement organized by the not-for-profit "Movember" during which men grew moustaches to raise awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate cancer, during the month of November. Most recently, King of Prussia associates participated in a golf outing to raise money for Chester County Futures, which is an organization that focuses on low income, high potential children in Chester County by providing mentoring and general education assistance. During the holiday season, the King of Prussia office collected toys for Toys for Tots.

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.
