By Martin Arnold in London

Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, the world's biggest buy-out group, is preparing up to six companies for initial public offerings worth billions of dollars, including Toys R Us, as it sells some of its most valuable groups back to the stock market.

There have been virtually no IPOs in the past two years but, as the worst of the financial crisis recedes and stock markets start to rebound, investors are eagerly waiting to see if private equity firms such as KKR will start listing companies bought in the boom years.

A person familiar with KKR said the companies it was preparing to float included US toy retailer Toys R Us; HCA, one of America's biggest hospital groups; First Data, the credit card processor; TDC, the Danish telecommunications group; and Dollar General, the discount retailer.

"We think there are five to six companies in the [KKR] portfolio that can be taken public in the next 12 months," said a person familiar with KKR's plans...

Merchant ID Theft Advisory Board Offers Prevention Tactics



Merchant ID Theft Advisory Board Offers Prevention Tactics

E-ditor's Note:  It's great that they are doing this, but I have a rather "stupid type" of idea.  How about instead of incorporating "prevention" tactics, we incorporated "E-limination tactics?"   
Here's one:  E-liminate Typing.  That's the Cause...The E-ffect is we'll E-liminate Phishing and the threats from Malware, ClonedWebsites, maybe even a couple terrorist attacks to boot!  


 Phoenix, Aug. 3, 2009 -- An epidemic of ID Theft--nine million cases reported annually and 262 million ID records reported stolen since 2005 --is the driver of Merchants Information Solutions' creation of the U.S.'s first volunteer business-government Board dedicated to stopping ID thieves by creating and delivering the latest and best prevention practices.

High level experts in ID Theft and Information Technology from the FBI, Avnet, GoDaddy.com, Merchants Information Solutions, a bank fraud specialist, cyber forensics specialist and a media crisis expert are among the founders of the Merchants ID Theft Advisory Board.

ID theft gangs are often months ahead of law enforcement with new tactics. From getting gang members hired at target companies and new hacking techniques to pretending to be legitimate vendors with the purpose of data access, ID thieves are creative and relentless. The Board plans to try and level the playing field by getting effective prevention knowledge and methods out rapidly and frequently.

"With hundreds of business clients who reduce risk by using our ID Theft recovery protection for millions of their employees and customers, we are very aware of the latest ID theft and data breach crimes and trends. It's not pretty and it's getting worse. We decided we could do something significant to help legitimate organizations protect themselves with this remarkable Board of very distinguished national and international experts," said Mark Pribish, Board Chair and VP of the ID Theft Practice at Merchants.

The Merchants ID Theft Advisory Board voted at its inaugural meeting to create and distribute free a sophisticated and up-to-the-minute best practices guide in the prevention of ID theft and data breach events. The group's unique and high level expertise in matters related to data protection and breaches provides a formidable think tank of real world professionals.

Most data breach events occur through social engineering including current and former employees and vendors who are often part of criminal networks. Though organizations may have protections in place, the ever-evolving and sinister tactics by ID thieves require ongoing prevention updates. By comprising the Board of real-world savvy and very sophisticated specialists, the Merchants ID Theft Advisory Board is set to play a key role in offering the latest methods of stopping ID theft and the pain it causes.

Pribish, a national authority and speaker on ID theft prevention and recovery and Board co-chair Gregg Ostro, a media expert experienced in data breach crises researched extensively to find the right mix of Board members. The result is a group of highly qualified specialists from leading organizations with a direct interest in minimizing the legal, financial and brand image impact of data breach events.

"This preeminent group that has been assembled to combat ID Theft through education and recommending best practices is nothing short of world class. My goals for this Board are to guide the discussion, help with information preparation and ensure the best tools of communication are created so we can empower organizations with effective prevention," Ostro, Advisory Board co-chair and CEO of GO Media Cos. said.

The all volunteer Merchants ID Theft Advisory Board includes: Kent Ailes, VP Risk Management, AZ Federal Credit Union; David Beauchamp, Partner, Bryan Cave, LLP; Michael Benoit, Partner, Hudson Cook, LLP; Paul Charles, International Entrepreneur & Principal, Charles & Associates, LLC; John Iannarelli, Supervisory Special Agent, FBI; Christine Jones, Chief Counsel, GoDaddy.com; Gregg Ostro, President & CEO, Go Media Cos.; Steve Phillips, Chief Information Officer, Avnet; Mike O'Shaughnessy, COO, Forensic Consulting Solutions, LLC; Scott Smith, President & Managing Director, NXG Strategies; Russ Johnson, President & CEO, Merchants Information Solutions, Inc.; Mark Pribish, VP & ID Theft Practice Leader, Merchants Information Solutions, Inc.

About Merchants Information Solutions: Founded in 1912, Merchants is a leading provider of low-cost identity theft protection and recovery solutions, helping to support the risk management objectives of financial institutions, associations, employer groups, and the automotive industry, by offering revenue opportunities through fee-based subscription services.

OCC Sends Out Letter Re: CARD Act Requirements


OCC sends out letter regarding CARD Act requirements

Washington, D.C., Aug. 3, 2009 -- On May 22, 2009, the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit CARD Act) was signed into law. This law amends the Truth in Lending Act, 15 USC 1601 et seq., to impose certain requirements on credit card issuers that raise cardholders’ annual percentage rates (APRs) based on factors including the credit risk of the cardholder, market conditions, and other factors.

Effective August 22, 2010, Section 148 of the Credit CARD Act1 requires that if a creditor increases the APR based on such factors:
  • The creditor must maintain reasonable methodologies for assessing those factors.
  • Thecreditor must, at least every six months, review accounts on which theAPR has increased to assess whether such factors have changed,including whether any risk has declined.
  • The creditor must do so for all accounts on which the APR has been increased since January 1, 2009.
  • Thecreditor must reduce the APR previously increased when a reduction isindicated by the review, although the Credit CARD Act does not “requirea reduction in any specific amount.”
  • In the event of an APR increase, the creditor must provide the cardholder with written notice of the reasons for the increase.
As noted above, Section 148 does not become effective until August 22, 2010.

However, because its requirements will apply to APR increases made on or after January 1, 2009, the OCC reminds national banks that, effective August 22, 2010, they must conduct the periodic reviews required by the Credit CARD Act on any accounts on which the APRs were increased as described above on or after January 1, 2009. Accordingly, national banks must maintain and have available such information concerning APR increases for such accounts as needed to enable them to conduct the required reviews.
Please direct questions about this matter to your supervisory office, to the Compliance Policy Division at (202) 874-4428, or to the Community and Consumer Law Division at (202) 874-5750.

Eric Schmidt Resigns From Apple's Board

Technology Alert
from The Wall Street Journal

Apple announced that Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, is resigning from Apple's board, a position he has held since August 2006.

In a statement, Apple CEO Steve Jobs said that "as Google enters more of Apple's core businesses, with Android and now Chrome OS, Eric's effectiveness as an Apple Board member will be significantly diminished, since he will have to recuse himself from even larger portions of our meetings due to potential conflicts of interest."

In May, Schmidt said he had no plans to resign from Apple's board, despite reports of a federal inquiry into whether board ties between the companies violate antitrust laws.

MoneyGram Teams with Affinity Global for Mobile Money Transfer


MoneyGram, Affinity Global launch mobile money transfer service

Minneapolis and Dallas, Aug. 3, 2009 -- MoneyGram International (NYSE: MGI), a leading provider of global payment services, and Affinity Global Services, a leading mobile financial services company, today announced an agreement that will enable mobile money transfer receives in important markets around the globe, bringing greater convenience and extending the benefits of MoneyGram services to a new category of consumers.

According to the World Bank, more than 200 million people live outside their home country. Mobile networks, which are now globally available, help immigrants stay connected and mobile money transfer applications will enable these and other subscribers better manage their finances. The MoneyGram and Affinity Global Services alliance will allow consumers to use MoneyGram’s agent network of over 180,000 locations around the world to send money to an account associated with a mobile device.

“In developing economies, there are more people with mobile phones than traditional bank accounts. We see a tremendous opportunity to better serve these consumers by delivering MoneyGram remittances in compelling new formats such as mobile technology,” said Anthony Ryan, MoneyGram president and chief executive officer. “Our relationship with Affinity Global Services will significantly enhance our agent network by allowing us to partner with mobile network operators in key corridors such as Latin America, Asia and Africa, and provide convenient, affordable and reliable money transfer services to consumers around the world.”

Affinity Global Services is the first Mobile Gateway to facilitate MoneyGram services, and will provide technical connectivity between MoneyGram and various mobile network operators. The MoneyGram mobile money transfer service will use Affinity Global’s MADE™ Platform, enabling MoneyGram to connect to virtually any mobile network operator. The parties are currently in discussion with a mobile network operator which is expected to be the first to launch the service to consumers later this year.

”MoneyGram understands that success in the mobile sector is about more than just technology,” said Ritchie Skelding, Affinity Global Services chairman. “To make mobile money transfer services work on a global scale requires a partner with world-class systems and a willingness to partner with mobile operators. Success also takes a commitment to deliver consumer value in a simple and transparent way. There is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ in this rapidly evolving space so MoneyGram’s entrance into the mobile money sector will help accelerate adoption of these services.”

Smart Card, Dumb Move - Fake ATM at DEFCON











There are some dumb moves and then there are some really dumb moves.  Like robbing a Dunkin Donuts full of off duty cops.  Here's one for the ages.  A hacker planted a fake ATM at the DEFCON conference in Las Vegas, the world's largest hacker convention.  Was it a joke?  If not, the IQ of the hacker who placed it there is...

From Engadet

The hooligans in this case have a dry sense of humor or are extremely unlucky: Either way, we can't help but get a chuckle out of the fact that someone placed their smart card skimmin' faux ATM at the Riviera Hotel Casino in Las Vegas -- during DEFCON, the world's largest hacker convention. No one can say exactly how long the kiosk was there -- at least the kids were smart enough to place it right outside the security office, one of the few places in the conference center not under surveillance. It was picking up on this last fact that aroused the suspicion of Brian Markus, CEO of Aries Security. When shining a light through the glass panel that should house a camera, he instead found the PC that was set up to skim people's data. He then notified security, who removed the device and once again made the world safe for hackers and their bank accounts.

Fiserv is 25


Fiserv celebrates 25 years by remembering founders and clients

Brookfield, Wis., Aug. 3, 2009 -- Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV - News), the leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today the celebration of its 25th year as a company. It was July 31, 1984 when Sunshine State Systems, Inc. in Tampa, Florida and First Data Processing based in Milwaukee, Wis., combined to form Fiserv, the first national financial services company, with its headquarters in Milwaukee.

The regional data processors combined to serve small banks and thrifts, growing organically and through more than 150 acquisitions, from a $21 million business, with 350 employees in 1984, to a $4.7 billion Fortune 500 company, with 20,000 employees and the No. 1 ranking on the FinTech 100 list of technology partners serving the financial services industry.

“We had a great idea – to focus on data processing for banks and build from our foundation of regional operations to create a nationwide enterprise. Now, 25 years later, Fiserv is a global powerhouse, far exceeding anyone’s expectations,” said George Dalton, Fiserv Co-Founder, and former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer (1984-2000).

Fiserv went public, trading on NASDAQ under the symbol “FISV” in 1986, as a $70 million data processor. Within four years, Fiserv was serving some of the nation’s largest financial institutions.

Leslie Muma, Co-Founder of Fiserv, former President, (1984-2005), Chief Executive Officer, (1999--2005), and member of the Board of Directors, (1984-2006), added, “Fiserv had expertise to offer banks and credit unions at the perfect time. Banks then, as they are now, were looking for solutions to handle their processing needs and provide their customers with the latest technology at the lowest price. Since then many competitors have followed essentially the same business model that George and I envisioned, but we are proud to say Fiserv remains the leader.”

In 1991, Fiserv entered the commercial bank, international, and credit union core account processing markets for the first time, doubling the number of clients with the acquisition of Citicorp Information Resources, a subsidiary of Citicorp. Today Fiserv sells its solutions in more than 40 countries serving clients around the globe.

In 1995, Fiserv acquired Information Technology, Inc., (ITI), in Lincoln, Nebraska, expanding the number of account processing clients for Fiserv, and gaining the most widely implemented account processing platform in the United States, Premier. Don Dillon, Founder of ITI, former Fiserv Vice Chairman (1995-2000) and current Chairman of the Board, said, “Fiserv serves more clients today, and has continually created value for our clients by anticipating their needs. We continue to offer them the best possible solutions, with a cultural commitment to earn their trust every day. At Fiserv, we continue to serve community banks, regional banks and, credit unions and, notably, provide every one of the top 100 banks in the U.S. with one or more of our products and services.”

In 2007, Fiserv made its largest acquisition of its first 25 years, buying CheckFree Corporation, a world leader in financial electronic commerce, and the leading provider of online banking, online bill pay and electronic bills. Since this acquisition a primary focus of Fiserv has been to lead digital innovation and provide integrated solutions for the company’s 16,000 clients. In February of this year, Fiserv announced a new go-to-market strategy in which all business units were branded Fiserv, bringing one name to the market and optimizing access to the company’s considerable strengths, technology solutions and expertise for its clients.

“The bridge between our first 25 years and the next is our commitment to serving clients. We are focused on delivering technology solutions that are differentiating and innovative,” said Jeffery Yabuki, Fiserv President and Chief Executive Officer. “We know our real advantage is the quality of our people and their commitment to excellence which translates to the best experience for our clients. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead for our great company.”

About Fiserv

Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV - News) is the leading global provider of information management and electronic commerce systems for the financial services industry, driving innovation that transforms experiences for financial institutions and their customers. Ranked No. 1 on the FinTech 100 survey of top technology partners to the financial services industry, Fiserv celebrates its 25th year in 2009. For more information, visit www.fiserv.com .
