We would like to inform you of an upcoming change that will be announced to your merchant portfolio via statement message. Due to the changes in debit and credit card association fee structure, Elan will be implementing changes to merchant processing fees effective April 1, 2006. At the present time we do not have specific details of the changes. In order to notify merchants, a statement message will appear on the February merchant processing statement. We will be providing you with the specifics once they have been announced and have an implementation plan in place. Please expect to receive the detailed announcement early March. If you have any questions, you may contact the Financial Institution Support Center at 1-800-523-5354, option 4 or email elanfisc@elansales.com. ------------------------------------------------- To ensure that you continue to receive email from us, please add us to your Address Book (announcements@elan-client-communication.com).
