Lockheed Martin Corporation, the world’s premier advanced technology systems integrator, has partnered with U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems for ten years, adopting a full range of Corporate Payment Systems services, including corporate travel card and purchasing card programs. As a result of U.S. Bank Corporate Payment Systems’ flexibility and client-focus, Lockheed Martin recently extended its purchasing card commitment with a new five-year contract.

We are the Number 3 merchant processor (NOVA), the Number 1 Visa commercial card issuer, the Number 2 small business card issuer, the Number 7 Visa and MasterCard® consumer card issuer, the Number 2 bank-owned ATM network, the Number 2 universal fleet card (Voyager) and the Number 2 freight payment provider (PowerTrack®).

Through NOVA Information Systems, recognized for superlative customer service and technical proficiency, our Merchant Processing business ranks third in the nation and serves more than 600,000 merchant locations in the United States and in Europe. We continue to expand this business through penetration of the U.S. Bank customer base of merchants and through ongoing activities, backed by the full resources of U.S. Bancorp, to gain additional merchant customers.

Our Retail Payment Solutions business is unique among large card issuers in that we build this business in large part on relationship-based efforts among our retail and small business customers, among our growing network of correspondent financial institutions and with a star-studded roster of co-brand partners. There is enormous potential in the further penetration of our existing customer base and in our ability to stay at the leading edge of new product introductions.

Corporate Payment Systems is at the forefront of payment providers, using leading technology and expertise to automate the entire payment continuum for commercial buyers and sellers. Card solutions like One Card, Corporate Card, Purchasing Card and Fleet Card provide flexible solutions for classic payables, while PowerTrack adds increased control and sophisticated pre-payment audits for complex business-to-business procurement processes.

With a compelling investment in the industry’s best technology, our Transaction Services is the hub of electronic payments transactions for all U.S. Bancorp ATMs, as well as ATMs, credit and debit cards, merchant processing, and the electronic funds transfer network gateway for other financial institutions, through Elan Financial Services. With expertise, technology, economy of scale and existing potential still within our markets, this is a full-service, start-to-finish business with growth expectation.

Diverse U.S. Bancorp national businesses serve customers coast to coast. U.S. Bank is a leading financial resource for local and state government, political sub-divisions and the federal government through our Government Banking business. We are one of the largest tax payment processors for the U.S. Government, and we provide a wide range of financial services for the Department of Defense, as well as web and lockbox collection services for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

Mortgage Banking originates loans in all 50 states. We are targeting becoming a Top 10 mortgage provider through expanded sales efforts nationally and also the extension of our Mortgage Banking as a primary line of business into our western markets.

With expertise to support the nation’s largest corporations, specialized industries and our middle market customers, Corporate Banking provides services to meet the most complex transactional, credit, financial management, international financing and exchange, and risk mitigation needs. We are also a national leader in treasury management services. Our relationship-based model succeeds on the experience of our managers, the economies of scope and scale derived from our size and geography and our commitment to cost management.

As the leading provider of municipal trust services and a top provider of corporate, escrow and structured finance services, Corporate Trust Services brings an unrelenting commitment to exceeding expectations by providing the right solutions at the right time for customers nationwide.

U.S. Bancorp Asset Management leverages the multiple distribution channels and broad geographic range of U.S. Bank to deliver the First American family of mutual funds, which encompasses a full range of equity and fixed income investment strategies.
