Description: Global Payments Inc. began providing transaction processing services in 1967, was incorporated in Georgia in September 2000, and spun-off from its former parent company on January 31, 2001. As a high-volume processor of electronic transactions, the company enables merchants, multinational corporations, financial institutions, consumers, government agencies and other profit and nonprofit business enterprises to facilitate payments to purchase goods and services or further other economic goals. Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., Global Payments markets its products and services throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. The company operates in two business segments -- merchant services and money transfer. The merchant services segment targets customers in many vertical industries, including financial institutions, gaming, government, health care, professional services, restaurants, retail, universities and utilities. The money transfer segment primarily targets immigrants in the United States and Europe. During fiscal 2008, Global Payments acquired a portfolio of merchants that process Discover transactions, which adds to its Visa and MasterCard transactions processing capabilities. More
