Recently, the company entered into a multi-year contract with Trustmark National Bank, a unit of Trustmark Corporation. With the agreement, the bank has extended its long-term association with Fiserv.

However, the company’s financial segment faces a huge competition from various big companies including Mastercard Incorporated ( MA - Analyst Report ) and Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. ( FIS - Analyst Report ) . VW Credit, Inc. (VCI) recently adopted Fidelity’s AutoSuite automotive solution for its North American loan and lease processing. Hence, the company has to be extra cautious of competitive strides in the industry.
