payment processing Logos and Brands

Behind every tap of a card on a terminal is a chain of processing companies, and the Payment Processing section brings together the players that provide authorization, clearing, and settlement of financial transactions. Visa and Mastercard, as payment networks, Fiserv, Worldpay (FIS), Global Payments, and ACI Worldwide, as processors, handle billions of transactions per day. The processing business operates on fractions of a cent per transaction, but volume compensates for marginality. The logos in this section belong to companies operating in the “back end” of the payment ecosystem, where a millisecond delay in authorization can cost millions in global trade.
