In 1984, our founders George Dalton and Leslie Muma had a vision to transform how financial institutions operated. They merged First Data Processing and Sunshine State Systems to create Fiserv - a national data processing organization focused on the financial services industry. What started as a way to help banks and credit unions manage their operations more efficiently has evolved into so much more. Today, we are a global leader in payments and fintech, serving thousands of financial institutions and millions of businesses in more than 100 countries.
Our journey has been marked by continuous innovation and strategic growth. From launching the first-of-its-kind mobile banking solution in 2008 to completing a transformative combination with First Data in 2019, we have consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in financial technology. Now, under the leadership of CEO Mike Lyons, Fiserv moves more than money - we move commerce, culture and communities forward. With 6 million merchant locations globally, 1.6 billion issuing accounts on file, and the capacity to process 25,000 financial transactions per second at peak, we are the invisible force powering everyday financial interactions for millions of people worldwide.
