Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Registration Statement") relating to
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of 3,500,000 shares

under the PTEK Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Plan and the PTEK Holdings, Inc. Associate

nonassessable.

  We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement.


                                       Very truly yours,
