History

Fiserv was founded in 1984, and within two years, it was listed on NASDAQ. The company experienced rapid growth mainly due to a series of acquisitions, including Citicorp Information Resources, which was the largest acquisition in its early years. Fiserv launched its website in 1995 and introduced fully electronic bills (branded as E-bills) in 1997, reaching $1 billion in revenue.[7] From 2000 to 2017, Fiserv continued to acquire other companies, such as CheckFree Corporation, M-Com, CashEdge, and PCLender.[8]
