Spotlight Innovators

With over 11 companies and 20+ products in its fold, NAB has developed a robust service network that caters directly to a
host of unique merchant market segments and business needs. All of which are in place to eliminate customer confusion
and minimize the distribution of third-party costs to partners and customers.
NAB has accomplished this vision by carefully considering which technologies are necessary in the marketplace and
analyzing which business steps they should take to ensure their contributions to the industry take the needs of the
merchant into consideration.

This “industry-first” thinking, and NAB’s recent acquisition of the Los Angeles based merchant services provider Total
Merchant Services (TMS), has led the company to accomplish the honor of becoming the seventh largest processor of North
American merchant transactions. Together, NAB and TMS are now processing nearly $50 billion in transactions annually.

"We are ecstatic about this acquisition," continued Gardner, "TMS has been an industry staple for more than 20 years and
has a history of providing its clients premier business solutions with a strong focus on ease, affordability and customer
service. It is these traits that made this acquisition a strategic fit for us."
More comprehensive offerings

Through the acquisition, NAB gained the portfolio and solutions of a leading payment solutions provider to small and
medium sized businesses, along with its comprehensive suite of sales, payment processing, marketing, and business
management products and services. NAB also incorporated TMS’ integrated payments technology into its service offerings
to help enterprise software developers easily integrate payments with legacy applications. The NAB partner network has
also been enhanced with over 3,000 sales partners, software developers and strategic partners.

With these updated financial and channel benefits, expanded product and service offerings, and enhanced go-to-market
capabilities NAB will have the wherewithal - under single leadership - to expedite processes and streamline an easy and
affordable payments experience for new and existing merchants and resellers.

Most importantly, the acquisition resulted in an important industry consolidation to make it more convenient and
comprehensive for each company’s respective merchant customers. "During this transformational time in the payments
industry, NAB is solidifying its commitment to helping businesses prosper by delivering innovative payment solutions
and outstanding customer service,” Gardner concluded.
