Metavante, with more than $600 million in revenues and $47 million in profit, filed to go public in July 2000, but withdrew its IPO in November of the same year. The company remains a wholly owned unit of Milwaukee, WI-based Marshall & Ilsley
(11,400 FTE; $6.1 billion market cap, 9/25/02).

Metavante has been rounding out it product line through a number of acquisitions including:

·         Derivion (June 2001) and its bill presentment relationships with 85 billers.

·         Spectrum (August 2002) the privately held EPP switch founded in 1999 by First Union, Wells Fargo, and JP Morgan Chase.

·         The company now dominates the scan-and-pay niche after first acquiring CyberBills in June 2001 and PayTrust in July 2002.

Metavante does not offer its payment services directly to end-users.
