August 29, 2005 – CUETS is one of Saskatchewan's Top 100 Companies, according to the August issue of Saskatchewan Business Magazine. The annual ranking of Saskatchewan companies is based on business revenue. CUETS came in at number 34 this year, down from the 29th spot last year.

“CUETS is a strong, vibrant member of Saskatchewan's business community,” says CEO Stan Kuss. “The fact that CUETS has appeared on the magazine’s Top 100 companies list every year since 1996 is a testament to our organization’s growth, and our contribution to the province’s economy.”

Kuss notes that CUETS ranking this year demonstrates that Saskatchewan is leaving its reputation as a “have-not” province behind. “Saskatchewan businesses are flourishing, with sales growing not by mere thousands of dollars, but hundreds of thousands, and even millions, of dollars,” says Kuss, adding that two of CUETS partners, SaskCentral and Concentra, both moved up in this year’s list. “CUETS is proud to be part of the co-operative movement, which is an essential driver of economic growth in the province.”

CUETS success is a credit to the dedication and achievements of its stellar team of employees, notes Kuss. “Our employees, together with the support of our suppliers and partners have been integral to CUETS achievements to date,” he says. “However, it’s our clients who inspire CUETS to advance, innovate and deliver world-class payment products and services to the marketplace.”
