Investment Services Social Responsibility Initiatives to Expand in 2009

Brookfield, Wis., March 9, 2009 - Investment Services, from Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV) the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced plans to expand its community-level social responsibility programs in 2009.

Investment Services' social responsibility initiatives are centered on supporting local organizations that aid orphaned and foster children and victims of domestic violence. In 2008, Investment Services partnered with the Boys and Girls club to conduct a Back to School drive in eight cities, which involved collecting and filling backpacks with school supplies for students. With the National Voice of Foster Parents of America, Investment Services collected Halloween costumes to benefit children in eight of their local communities, including Jersey City, N.J., Boston, Chicago and San Francisco, among others.

In addition Investment Services held its 13th annual holiday, winter coat and toy drive that provided clothing to local domestic violence shelters and toys for children in foster homes. The company also supported institutions including WomenRising, Rosie's Place, Family Rescue and Good Shepard Shelter. The company plans to continue to work with these and other local organizations throughout 2009.

"Our employees are always looking for opportunities to give back to the communities in which we work and live," said Constance Williams, vice president, Human Resources, Investment Services, Fiserv. "Fiserv is proud to be actively involved in the many communities we serve through our social responsibility initiative. By teaming up with great local organizations, we have been able to provide needed support for children in foster homes and for women and children who have been victims of domestic violence."

With a workforce of approximately 500 in six locations across the U.S., Investment Services commits several hours of its employees' time each year for community outreach as part of its continuing effort to contribute to the social and economic well-being of the communities in which the company does business.  

"Investment Services recognizes the importance of strong communities," said Mike Gianoni, president, Investment Services, Fiserv. "As we look at the year ahead, especially with the financial challenges that many in our community may face, we remain committed to providing strong support to our neighbors."
