S1 Corporation was originally the technology division of Security First Network Bank.[5][6]

The company acquired the South African firm Mosaic Software during 2004 and acquired internet banking company PM Systems Corporation in March 2010.[1] S1 Corporation attempted to acquire Israeli banking service firm Fundtech Ltd in 2011, however the private equity firm GTCR acquired FundTech, and S1 was acquired by ACI Worldwide instead.[3] The acquisition of S1 by ACI Worldwide was completed following ACI Worldwide's third takeover bid in as many months.[7][8] The total value of the acquisition was estimated to be worth $515.7 million.[3] James (Chip) S. Mahan III served as chief executive officer (CEO) from 1994, and was succeeded in 2001 by Jaime Ellertson, who served until 2005,[9] after which Mahan was reappointed. Johann Dreyer, originally CEO of Mosaic Software, became S1's last chief executive officer in 2006, serving until S1 was acquired by ACI Worldwide in 2012.[10]
