                          Independent Auditors' Report

The Plan Administrator
Total System Services, Inc. Director
    Stock Purchase Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of financial condition of the Total
System Services, Inc. Director Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2000 and
1999, and the related statements of operations and changes in plan equity for
each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's administrator. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial condition of the Total System Services,
Inc. Director Stock Purchase Plan as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the
results of its operations and changes in its plan equity for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 2000 in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998




(1)    Description of the Plan

       The Total System Services, Inc. Director Stock Purchase Plan (Plan) was
       implemented as of October 15, 1987. The Plan is designed to enable
       participating Total System Services, Inc. (TSYS) directors to purchase
       shares of common stock of TSYS at prevailing market prices from
       contributions made by them and TSYS.

       Synovus  Service Corp. serves as the Plan administrator.  State Street
       Bank and Trust  Company  serves as the Plan agent, hereafter referred to
       as "Agent."

       Any person who currently serves or in the future is elected to serve as a
       member, advisory member, or emeritus member of the Board of Directors of
       TSYS is eligible to participate in the Plan. Prior to February 24, 2000,
       cash contributions by a participant could not exceed $1,000 per calendar
       quarter. Effective February 24, 2000, cash contributions by participants
       cannot exceed $5,000 per calendar quarter. Contributions to the Plan are
       to be made by TSYS in an amount equal to one-half of each participant's
       contribution. Participants are immediately vested in their contributions
       and TSYS' matching contributions.

       The Plan provides, among other things, that all expenses of the Plan and
       its administration shall be paid by TSYS with the exception of brokers'
       fees, commissions, postage and transaction costs which are included in
       the cost of each participant's investment in common stock of TSYS.

       The Plan provides that upon withdrawal from the Plan, each participant
       may elect to receive the shares of TSYS common stock held on his behalf
       by the Agent, together with a check for any fractional share interest and
       any remaining cash balance.

       TSYS expects to maintain the Plan indefinitely, but reserves the right to
       terminate or amend the Plan at any time, provided, however, that no
       termination or amendment shall affect or diminish any participant's right
       to the benefit of contributions made by him or TSYS prior to the date of
       such amendment or termination.

       On April 16, 1998, the TSYS Board of Directors approved a three-for-two
       stock split which was effected on May 8, 1998 in the form of a 50% stock
       dividend to shareholders of record as of April 27, 1998. All share and
       per share data for all periods presented in the accompanying financial
       statements and related notes has been restated to reflect the additional
       shares resulting from this stock split.


(2)    Summary of Accounting Policies

       The investment in common stock of TSYS is stated at market value. The
       2000 and 1999 market values are based on the closing price at year-end.
       The December 31, 2000 and 1999 market values were $22.375 and $16.31 per
       share, respectively.

                                             4                   (Continued)


                           TOTAL SYSTEM SERVICES, INC.
                          DIRECTOR STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                        December 31, 2000, 1999, and 1998


       The realized gain on distributions to participants is determined by
       computing the difference between the average cost per common stock share
       and the market value per share at the date of distribution to the
       participants.

       Contributions by TSYS and participating directors, as well as
       withdrawals, are accounted for on the accrual basis.

       Dividend income is accrued on the record date.

       The Plan is not qualified under Sections 401(a) or 501(a) of the Internal
       Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan does not provide for income
       taxes because any income is taxable to the participants. Participants in
       the Plan must treat as compensation income their pro rata share of
       contributions made to the Plan by TSYS. Cash dividends paid on common
       stock of TSYS purchased under the Plan will be taxable to the
       participants on a pro rata basis for Federal and state income tax
       purposes during the year any such dividend is received by the participant
       or the Plan. Upon disposition of the common stock of TSYS purchased under
       the Plan, participants must treat any gain or loss as long-term or
       short-term capital gain or loss depending upon when such disposition
       occurs.

       The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
       principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
       management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
       amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein, and disclosure of
       contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those
       estimates.

       are as follows:
