USPTA and Special Service Systems team up Twenty-six years ago in a Tulsa 'strip center storefront, Special Service Systems started as a sma ll business in Oklahoma. The year was I973. Initially, it performed a credit card embossing overload service for banks and oil companies. Over the years , the company added many credit card related services. In I 990, Special Service Systems began offering bank card services to small and medium-sized banks in t he Midwest and Southwest. The company represents First of Omaha Merchant Processing, one of the oldest financial institutions in the United States, serving on numerous Visa and MasterCard committees. (First of Omaha has been actively involved in helping its customers with credit card processing since I 9 53.) Today, Special Service Systems, combined with First National Bank of Omaha, offers Visa, MasterCard and American Express processing, ATM acceptance, check verification and check guarantee processing. To enhance these services , the company offers various turn-key credit card transaction capture devices (credit card terminals) to fit no~ only the transaction requirements of merchants but also their budgetary reqUirements. Much has happened in 26 years, and the company is proud to add USPTA to its fine list of partnering clients, and is looking forward to many years of happy partnership with the Association. - Allen Ledbetter SSSI Bank Card Representative
