Exclusive Marketing Agreement Spans 70 Branches, 2,200 Merchants

Elavon, formerly NOVA Information Systems, a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB), has acquired substantially all of the merchant processing portfolio of Capital City Bank, a subsidiary of Capital City Bank Group Inc. (NASDAQ: CCBG), with 70 branches across Florida, Georgia and Alabama. The agreement extends Elavon’s robust payment processing solutions to Capital City Bank’s existing base of 2,200 merchants and will also service new merchants.

“We are pleased to align Elavon’s solutions with Capital City Bank’s merchant portfolio,” said Stuart C. Harvey, Jr., CEO of Elavon. “Through our referral bank model, we enable financial institutions of all sizes to create operational and financial efficiencies that address both their business needs and those of their clients.”

“Our alliance with Elavon delivers true value to our commercial and small business clients,” said Ed Canup, Executive Vice President of Commercial Banking. “It allows us to confidently market a variety of secure and flexible payment solutions to merchants, knowing that they are backed by Elavon’s powerful processing network and excellent customer service.”

While the transition of merchant services to Elavon will not affect Capital City clients’ banking relationships, merchants will benefit from robust debit and credit card processing, a choice of point-of-sale devices and software, advanced e-commerce products, gift card solutions, electronic check services, and enhanced reporting.
