Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

Rule changes promulgated by the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC require Nasdaq-listed companies to be eligible for a direct registration system (“DRS”) by January 1, 2008. DRS refers to a system by which shares may be held in book entry form without a certificate. At a meeting held on August 14, 2007, the board of directors of Fiserv, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted amended and restated by-laws in order to ensure that the Company’s securities are DRS-eligible. As amended and restated, Article VI of the by-laws permit the Company to issue certificated or uncertificated shares. Previously, the Company’s by-laws provided for certificated shares only. The Company’s amended and restated by-laws are filed herewith as Exhibit 3.1, and are incorporated herein by reference.
