What makes First Data so unique is the combination of a vast, highly reliable distribution network and a growing collection of powerful global brands, most notably the Western Union® and STAR® brand names, that support First Data’s core businesses.

Our focus now concentrates on leveraging capabilities and expertise existing throughout the company in order to bring customers new and greater levels of service and satisfaction. Our recent success in signing enterprise-wide relationships with key clients by packaging our products and services together is ingenuity one example. Our mission is to make life easier and we will continue to figure out ways to make money transfer and payments processing more secure, more convenient and more beneficial to all who use and enjoy them.

Our leadership in the industry ensures that we will continue to participate in new payment initiatives. We have long maintained the competitive position that when consumer behavior demands new services our infrastructure and operations expertise will be ready to deliver them.
