The Company's headquarters are located at 255 Fiserv Drive, Brookfield,
Wisconsin 53045, telephone (414) 879-5000. Fiserv was incorporated as a Delaware
corporation in 1984, and reincorporated as a Wisconsin corporation in 1992. The
terms "Fiserv" and the "Company" as used herein mean Fiserv, Inc. and, unless
the context otherwise requires, its consolidated subsidiaries.
THE COMPANY
Fiserv, with operations in 75 cities, including 15 cities in Canada,
England and Singapore, is a leading independent provider of financial data
processing systems and related information management services and products to
banks, credit unions, mortgage banks, savings institutions and other financial
intermediaries. These services and products are based primarily on proprietary
software developed by Fiserv and maintained on computers located at data
processing centers throughout the United States. Fiserv is ranked as the
nation's leading data processing provider for banks and savings institutions in
terms of total clients served and is the nation's second leading data processing
provider for credit unions and mortgage banks. Fiserv directly supports account
and transaction processing software systems for approximately 3,383 financial
institutions; maintaining approximately 50 million service bureau accounts.
Fiserv delivers this account and transaction processing in all four of the
traditional delivery modes: service bureau; facilities management; resource
management; and in-house solutions. Fiserv also provides electronic banking
services, which include Automated Teller Machine ("ATM")/Electronic Funds
Transfer ("EFT") services to financial institutions, and processing
approximately 200 million ATM transactions annually. Fiserv also provides check
and share draft remittance and back-office processing to financial institutions,
handling approximately over 3.6 billion prime pass items per year through its
regional item processing centers located in over 45 cities in North America. In
addition, Fiserv provides trust administration services for IRAs and other
retirement plans, and furnishes microcomputer software to financial institutions
for executive information and decision support systems. The total client base
served by Fiserv includes more than 5,000 financial institutions. Fiserv
believes that its focus on customer service and the contractual nature of its
business, combined with its historical renewal experience, provide a high level
of recurring revenues.
Since Fiserv's formation in 1984, it has expanded its operations
through over 60 acquisitions and internally through the growth of existing
clients. From 1988 to 1996, Fiserv's revenues increased from $125.0 million to
$798.3 million, its operating income increased from $15.5 million to $123.6
million and its net income grew from $9.2 million to $61.7 million. During this
period, net income per common and common equivalent share increased from $.33 to
$1.34.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
On March 2, 1997, Fiserv announced that it had signed a definitive
agreement to acquire BHC Financial, Inc. ("BHC") pursuant to a stock-for-stock
merger under which Fiserv will acquire all of the outstanding shares of BHC for
$33.50 per share, subject to receiving pooling accounting treatment. The
exchange ratio will be determined by taking the average of the closing price of
Fiserv Common Stock for the last 20 trading days ending two trading days prior
to closing. The agreement is subject to all normal conditions of closing
including receipt of all necessary regulatory consents and BHC shareholder
approval.
BHC, based in Philadelphia, provides securities processing and support
services to banks, insurance companies, brokerage firms, money managers and
mutual fund companies. It currently processes approximately 10,000 integrated
trade executions and clearings per day. In 1996, BHC reported revenues of $81.2
million, net income of $18.0 million and earnings per share of $2.69, increases
of 24%, 29% and 39%, respectively, over the previous year's levels.
USE OF PROCEEDS
All proceeds from the sale of the Shares to be sold pursuant to this
Prospectus will be for the account of the Selling Shareholders. As a
consequence, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the
Shares offered by the Selling Shareholders.
DIVIDEND POLICY
The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock. The
Company intends to retain earnings for use in its business and, therefore, does
not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The
Company's existing long-term debt instruments contain provisions limiting the
amount of cash dividends the Company can pay.

of Fiserv.
DISTRIBUTION
The Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Shareholders or
by pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors in interest. Such sales may
be made in any one or more transactions (which may involve block transactions)
in the over-the-counter market, on NASDAQ, and any exchange in which the Common
Stock may then be listed, or otherwise in negotiated transactions or a
combination of such methods of sale, at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated
prices. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions by selling Shares
to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may sell the Shares as
agent or may purchase such Shares as principal and resell them for their own
account pursuant to this prospectus. Such broker-dealers may receive
compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions
from the Selling Shareholders and/or purchasers of Shares from whom they may act
as agent (which compensation may be in excess of customary commissions).
The Company has informed the Selling Shareholders that the anti-manipulative
rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Regulation M) may apply to
their sales of Shares in the market. Also, the Company has informed the Selling
Shareholders of the need for delivery of copies of the Prospectus in connection
with any sale of securities registered hereunder in accordance with applicable
prospectus delivery requirements.
In connection with such sales, the Selling Shareholders and any
participating brokers and dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" as defined
in the Securities Act. In addition, any of the Shares that qualify for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this
Prospectus.
In order to comply with certain state securities, laws, if applicable,
the Common Stock will not be sold in a particular state unless such securities
have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and complied with.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the issuance of the shares of the Common Stock offered
hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Charles W. Sprague, Esq.,
Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Mr.
Sprague beneficially owns 21,461 shares of Fiserv Common Stock, which number
includes vested but unexercised stock options.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
In general, the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law provides that a
corporation shall indemnify directors and officers for all reasonable expenses
incurred in connection with the successful defense of actions arising in
connection with their service as directors and officers of the corporation. In
other cases, the Wisconsin statute provides that the corporation shall indemnify
a director or officer against liability unless the director or officer breached
or failed to perform a duty owed to the corporation and such breach or failure
meets certain specified criteria constituting, in general, some act of
misconduct. In addition, the corporation may reimburse a director or officer for
his expenses in defending against actions as they are incurred upon the
director's or officer's written request accompanied by a written affirmation of
his good faith belief that he has not breached or failed to perform his duties
to the corporation and a written undertaking to repay amounts advanced if it is
ultimately determined that indemnification is not required under the Wisconsin
Business Corporation Law. A court of law may order that the corporation provide
indemnification to a director or officer if it finds that the director or
officer is entitled thereto under the applicable statutory provision or is
fairly and reasonably entitled thereto in view of all the relevant
circumstances, whether or not such indemnification is required under the
applicable statutory provision.
The Wisconsin Business Corporation Law specifies various procedures
pursuant to which a director or officer may establish his right to
indemnification.
Provided that it is not determined by or on behalf of the corporation
that the director or officer breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the
corporation and such breach or failure meets certain specified criteria
constituting, in general, some act of misconduct, a Wisconsin corporation may
provide additional rights to indemnification under its articles of incorporation
or by-laws, by written agreement, by resolution of its board of directors or by
a vote of the holders of a majority of its outstanding shares.
The Registrant's By-laws provide for indemnification and advancement of
expenses of directors and officers to the fullest extent provided by the
Wisconsin Business Corporation Law. This provision is not exclusive of any other
rights to indemnification or the advancement of expenses to which a director or
officer may be entitled under any written agreement, resolution of directors,
vote of shareholders, by law or otherwise.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in
the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
information statement.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to remove from
registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act), that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant
pursuant to the provisions described in Item 15 above, or otherwise, the
Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby further undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1)
or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this
registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall
be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant
certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the
requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No.1 to
the Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned,
thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Brookfield, State of Wisconsin, on the
16th day of May 1997.

Registration Statement on Form S-3
Dear Sirs:
I have acted as counsel to Fiserv, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation
("Fiserv"), in connection with its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the
"Registration Statement"), filed under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act"),
relating to the proposed resales of up to 631,951 shares of its Common Stock,
$.01 par value (the "Shares"), by certain Selling Shareholders.
In that connection, I have examined originals, or copies certified or
otherwise identified to our satisfaction of such documents, corporate records
and other instruments as I have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of
this opinion, including the Articles of Incorporation, as amended, and By-Laws,
as amended, of Fiserv.
Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:
1. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing
as a corporation under the laws of the State of Wisconsin.
2. The Shares have been duly authorized and are validly issued
and fully paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the reference to me under "Legal Matters" in the
Prospectus comprising a part of the Registration Statement. By giving the
foregoing consent, I do not admit that I come within the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act.
Very truly yours,
