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 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 in 66 cities. FIserv believes that it is the largest processor of accounts for the nation's savings institutions and ranks among the leaders in account processing for banks and credit unions. FIserv maintains full-service account and transaction processing systems for approximately 2,500 financial institutions with over 42 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 software. FIserv also provides electronic banking services, which include Automated Teller Machine ("ATM")/Electronic Funds Transfer ("EFT") services to financial institutions, driving and switching over 4,000 ATMs and processing approximately 150 million ATM transactions annually, and check and share draft remittance and back-office processing to financial institutions, handling approximately 2.45 billion items per year through its 34 regional item processing centers. In addition, FIserv provides trust administration services for IRAs and other retirement plans, and furnishes microcomputer software to financial institutions for asset/liability management. 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 50 acquisitions and internally through the growth of existing clients. From 1988 to 1994, FIserv's revenues increased from $125 million to $563.6 million, its operating income increased from $15.5 million to $69.2 million and its net income grew from $9.2 million to $37.66 million. During this period, net income per common and common equivalent share increased from $.33 to $.95. On April 6, 1995, FIserv entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase Information Technology, Inc. ("ITI") for approximately $373,000,000, two-thirds in cash and one-third in FIserv Common Stock. ITI was owned by certain of the Selling Stockholders, Messrs. Donald F. Dillon, Dale M. Jensen and Patrick F. Kerrigan. The acquisition closed on May 17, 1995. 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 Stockholders. As a consequence, the Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Shares offered by the Selling Stockholders. 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.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION The Shares may be sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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 Stockholders that the anti- manipulative rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Rules 10b-6 and 10b-7) may apply to their sales of Shares in the market. Also, the Company has informed the Selling Stockholders 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 Stockholders 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, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of the Company. Mr. Sprague beneficially owns 9,375 shares of FIserv Common Stock, which number includes vested but unexercised stock options.
