Total System Services Corporate Office

Total System Services

Total System Services (TSYS) is a credit card processor.

TSYS began as a division of Columbus Bank & Trust (CB&T) for the bank’s own credit cards. In 1983 the division started to process credit cards for other banks.

History

Total System Services was spun-off from Columbus Bank & Trust in 1991 into a publicly-traded company, though CB&T’s successor Synovus retained majority ownership. The new company not only processed credit cards, but also created the technology platforms for the processing.

Today TSYS is one of the largest processors of electronic payment in the world. Products include card issuance, customer-relations services, credit authorization, and payment processing. Since the company acquired NetSpend in 2013 it also issues payroll and prepaid cards.

Total System Services trades publicly on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TSS, is #940 in the Fortune 1000, has 12,820 employees, and had $4.028 billion in revenue in 2018.

In December 2020, TSYS suffered from a ransomware attack that the company refused to pay. Since then, a great deal of data has been released online, but the company insists that since it is nothing more than administrative data, it really doesn’t matter.

TSYS maintains a corporate office in Columbus, Georgia.

Knights of Columbus Corporate Office

Knights of Columbus

The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest fraternal service organization with nearly 15,000 councils made up of 1.9 million members.

The organization was founded by American priest Michael J. McGivney in 1882 in Hartford, Connecticut. The motivation of the founding was to be a society of mutual benefit. McGivney was a priest in an immigrant community and he understood the challenges facing the community, especially to widows and orphans when the main wage earner died. He decided to provide insurance to care for them.

History

At the time, Catholics were regularly excluded from labor unions, organizations providing social services, and fraternal organizations and McGivney wanted to offer an alternative organization for adult Catholic men.

Today Knights of Columbus provides life insurance, annuities, and long-term care insurance to organization members and their families. The group also manages the religious art and history museum in Connecticut, the Knights of Columbus Museum.

Knights of Columbus is #935 in the Fortune 1000 and had over $2 billion in revenue in 2014.

In addition to insurance, the company operates many fundraisers and scholarship programs.

Knights of Columbus maintains a corporate office where it was founded in New Haven, Connecticut.
