VisionPLUS is a financial software application from First
Data Corporation. Originally developed by the Paysys
Research and Development Group, this application is mainly
used for credit card transaction processing by multinational
banks and transaction processing companies. Various banks
and financial institutions use this software application to
store and process credit card, debit card, prepaid, closed
end loan accounts and process financial transactions (Visa,
Mastercard, American Express, Europay, private label
transactions) against those accounts. The rough estimate of
number of cards processed on different versions of this
application software around the world is 350
million.[citation needed]
[edit] Modules

VisionPLUS is credit/debit/prepaid account life cycle
processing system. VisionPLUS consists of various modules
that work together to manage life cycle of accounts. The
