	Certegy&nbsp;was a public corporation created in 2001 when&nbsp;Equifax&nbsp;spun off their payment services division. The corporation had two divisions of its own: check verification and credit cards. In September 2005, a merger with Fidelity Information Services, a&nbsp;subsidiary&nbsp;of&nbsp;Fidelity National Financial, was announced. The merger was completed in 2006. Although designed to be the surviving entity of the merger, Certegy&#39;s corporate name was changed as part of the merger agreement to&nbsp;Fidelity National Information Services, and the ticker symbol on the&nbsp;NYSE&nbsp;changed from CEY to FIS.
