Transfirst Holdings Corp. filed an amended S-1 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding its initial public offering (IPO). There were no pricing terms given in the filing but the offering is valued up to $100 million, although this number is usually just a placeholder. The company intends to list on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol TF.

The underwriters for the offering are Goldman Sachs, J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup, Jefferies, RBC Capital Markets, Wells Fargo, Raymond James, and William Blair.

This is a leading provider of payment technology solutions to merchants in the United States, as measured by processing volume. The company is differentiated by its single proprietary technology platform, which enables it to provide a broad suite of payment products, end-to-end payment solutions and superior customer support. Transfirst is able to deliver these services across multiple points of access, including brick-and-mortar locations, software integration, e-commerce, mobile and tablet-based solutions.
