CLEVELAND, OH/PITTSBURGH, PA – September 16, 2010 – Financial Transaction Services LLC (“FTS”), a full service provider of electronic transaction processing services, today announced that it had secured a $50 million growth equity commitment from FTV Capital, a multi-stage private equity firm that invests in high-growth companies, and has a successful investment track record in payments and transaction processing companies. FTV Capital is the first institutional investor for FTS.

FTS offers a comprehensive suite of transaction processing capabilities for financial institutions, merchants, independent sales organizations, and agents, including credit, debit, check services, gift card programs, EBT, and merchant cash advance. The FTS Total Client Care Teams possess in-depth knowledge of many specialized categories ranging from retail, restaurant and hotel, to convenience store, petroleum, ande-commerce businesses.

FTS is one of the fastest growing transaction processors in the industry, with volume growth of 40% in 2009. This financing will enable FTS to continue its rapid expansion through increased sales efforts targeted at the small and medium business market, especially as electronic payments continue to experience strong growth. Additionally, the company plans to continue to pursue attractive consolidation opportunities in this highly fragmented market.

“We are very enthusiastic about partnering with such an accomplished, well-respected management team in a space where we also have extensive experience,” said Richard Garman, FTV Capital managing partner. “Brian, Jeff, and the FTS team have a history of building successful payments operations.
