Fiserv, Inc. (/faɪˈsərv/) is an American multinational Fortune 500 company headquartered in Brookfield, Wisconsin that provides financial technology services to clients across the financial services sector, including: banks, thrifts, credit unions, securities broker dealers, mortgage, insurance, leasing and finance companies, and retailers.[4]

In October 2015, American Banker and BAI ranked the company third by revenue among technology providers to U.S. banks.[5] Fiserv reported total revenue of $10.187 billion in 2019.[1] Fiserv is also the owner of First Data since 2019, and by extension the Clover brand and products, meaning Fiserv is directly competing with Square, Inc. and Shopify in point of sale payment terminals for small businesses.

Fiserv currently has the naming rights for the Fiserv Forum stadium in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.[6]

History[edit]

Fiserv was founded in 1984. The company quickly grew and was listed on the NASDAQ less than two years after its founding, mainly through a large number of acquisitions, the largest in the early years of the company being Citicorp Information Resources. Fiserv's website was launched in 1995 and subsequently debuted fully electronic bills (branded as E-bills) in 1997. Fiserv reached $1 billion in revenue.[7] Between 2000 and 2017, Fiserv continued to acquire other companies, including CheckFree Corporation, M-Com, CashEdge, and PCLender.[8]

In 2005, Jeffery Yabuki became the CEO. Fiserv's website notes Yabuki's leadership resulted in 44,000 associates being hired, achieving a 969% shareholder return rate through 2019, and the company being named to Fortune's most admired companies for a seven year streak and nine out of the last ten years.[9] Yabuki also oversaw Fiserv's lease on the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee and Fiserv's acquisition of First Data, and by extension the point of sale company Clover Network. In 2020, Yabuki stepped down as CEO and was replaced by Frank Bisignano.
