1984: Since 1984, Fiserv has existed to help people move money and information. Fiserv was founded in 1984.

1986: Indeed, as a result new technologies, tax laws (such as the Tax Reform Act of 1986), increased competition, an easing of interstate banking regulations, and other factors, prospective Fiserv customers were increasingly seeking reduced costs associated with centralized, automated data processing. A share of Fiserv stock valued at $2.74 in 1986 had increased in value nearly 20 times to $52.68. To finance Fiserv’s strategy of purchasing companies with cash, rather than debt, the company began selling shares publicly in 1986.

1990: Although the company had targeted smaller and mid-size companies prior to 1990, it began serving several customers with sales of $1 billion-plus in the early 1990s. Also a hard worker, Dalton filled his free hours by cruising on his 1990 Harley-Davidson motorcycle. 1990: Fiserv Expands Electronic Funds Capabilities California-based GTE EFT Services Money Network and GTE ATM Networks provide Fiserv the ability to expand our client solution portfolio, offering electronic funds capabilities.

1991: By 1991, Fiserv was serving more than 1,400 banks, savings and loans, and credit unions of all sizes.

1992: To accomplish this feat, they were forced to surrender 89 percent of the equity in their venture to the financiers. 'Eleven percent of something is worth more than 100 percent of nothing,' noted Dalton in an April 1992 issue of Forbes.

1993: Dries, Michael, “Shades of CEO: Heart and Soul—How Who They Are Plays a Role in How they Lead: George Dalton,” Business Journal of Milwaukee, March 27, 1993, Sec. Elliot, Suzanne, “Fiserv Plans Move to Cheaper Offices for Ex-Mellon Subs,” Pittsburgh Business Times & Journal, August 16, 1993, Sec. Most notable during 1993, however, was Fiserv’s addition of its largest buyout ever, Basis Information Technologies, Inc., which added 1,000 new workers to the Fiserv’s payroll.

1994: Fiserv, whose income was up another 25 percent to $51 million in 1994, was there to benefit from the intensified interest in outsourcing.

1995: Fiserv signs strategic alliances with Chase Manhattan bank and with State Street Bank in Boston.

1996: While the Chase contract ended when the bank merged a short while later with Chemical Bank, Fiserv rebounded by landing a ten-year $1.6 billion deal to handle back-office processing for two leading Canadian banks in 1996.

1997: Six of the company's ten acquisitions in 1997 were related to the brokerage industry, ranging from a deep-discount brokerage house to a manufacturer of software that enabled customers to enter trade orders via the Internet or touch-tone phone.

1998: To complement its new strategy, Fiserv implemented a national television advertising campaign, a branding effort making use of the tag line 'Where money and technology meet.' Another part of Fiserv's branding effort was its own company Web site launched in December 1998. Moreover, in 1998, it signed on to a five-year contract with First Federal of California.

1999: In 1999, Fiserv launched a subscription Internet service called ePrime@Fiserv, which bundled online banking, bill payment, investment and insurance products, cash management automation, back-office processing, and core-account processing into one solution. With 400 customers in 60 countries in late 1999, Fiserv began looking to expand overseas at the turn of the century. In addition, the privatization of banks in foreign countries and the European Union's conversion to a single currency in 1999, had opened new doors for data processing companies. 1999: Dalton retires and Muma becomes CEO.
