Debit Card Processing

We offer flexible one-source debit/EFD processing options, including multiple authorization options, settlement and card management. Financial institutions may choose reliable and comprehensive client services support or opt for pass-through processing in order to retain control and service on-site.

FIS Debit Card Acquiring Services


FIS offers the most feature-rich set of payment processing services available anywhere, with an extremely flexible client/server platform that lets you augment your existing service offerings whenever you choose. Process files the instant you receive them, rather than all of them at the end of the day. Enjoy the productivity advantages of online multi-tasking.

That means with FIS, you have the power to accommodate both existing and emerging payment types such as stored value and prepaid, ARC/lockbox, electronic checks, e-commerce and Internet banking.

Every year, 80 percent of U.S. debit transactions flow through FIS processing systems, totaling $720 billion in settlements.
