Charter TAG FinTech Sponsors Announced

Atlanta – The Technology Association of Georgia (TAG) announced today that several of the state’s preeminent financial-technology (FinTech) companies have signed on as sponsors of  the TAG FinTech Society, which was established to promote and further the interests of Georgia’s FinTech companies, employees, and investors.

The charter sponsor companies include four of the major FinTech operating companies in Georgia:

Ø  Equifax (www.equifax.com)

Ø  Elavon (www.elavon.com)

Ø  First Data (www.firstdata.com)

Ø  TSYS (www.tsys.com)

In addition, three firms that support FinTech companies have become charter sponsors:

Ø  Porter Keadle Moore, LLP (www.pkm.com)

Ø  Nelson Mullins (www.nelsonmullins.com)

Ø  The Trade Association of the United States (www.tcaus.org)

“These Charter Sponsors are well-known operating companies and industry leaders in Georgia whose contributions to the FinTech market have included substantial capital investment, jobs, innovation, and shareholder value cumulatively worth billions of dollars,” said Tino Mantella, president of TAG.

“Their investment to be charter sponsors further validates their reputations as leaders of Georgia’s FinTech community and the broader financial services industry,” added TAG FinTech chair C. David Chambless, president of Abraxas Business Services.

Financial technology (or FinTech) encompasses products, solutions, services, and information providers that drive decisions, process payments, and facilitate transactions for financial institutions.  FinTech companies located in Georgia generate more than $34 billion annually, which places Georgia third in the nation behind New York and California.

In support of the role Georgia plays in this important industry, a group of FinTech executives founded TAG FinTech in early 2010. TAG FinTech’s mission includes building recognition of Georgia as the business center of choice for the world's leading financial-technology providers and fostering a business environment to help grow the industry and attract investment.

The Society conducted regular events throughout the year and an annual symposium, FinTech Georgia, the first of which was held on November 8, 2010 at 103 West in Atlanta.
