What kind of corporation is Fiserv these days? Frank seems to be running away from the word “Fintech”, a term he was so eager to embrace a few years ago. (Note to Ohio superfan: time to change your “best Fintech on the planet” chant.) So what will he settle on? Financial Services? Payments? Or will he try to create his own term as he likes to do (anyone remember “Work from chair?” That didn’t catch on.)
CNBC just did a segment about the future of Fintech companies. Fiserv didn’t get a mention. Not even a line on the chart of stocks. An analyst said to buy Square and Paypal, though. What does that tell you?
