TSYS (NYSE: TSS) today announced that it has signed a multi-year agreement with St. Mary’s Bank — the nation’s first credit union — to provide payments services for its consumer credit card portfolio.
“Their people-centered approach, coupled with the flexibility of their processing solution, was exactly what we were looking for in a partner.”
