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.
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.

I just learned this company has been overcharging me significantly for the last year. Most of their phone numbers disconnect spontaneously. Did speak to one rep but we could not understand each other because of language. He then put me on hold for over 30 min and never got anyone else on the line. I need to get a call from someone in charge. It appears there is not way to get thru to them to correct this
