Earlier this week, Fiserv announced that the company is planning to acquire Finxact, one of the fastest-growing firms in the digital banking ecosystem.

Outlook for 2022

In 2022, the financial services provider is expecting organic revenue growth of 7% to 9%. Moreover, the Nasdaq-listed company is expecting adjusted earnings per share in the range of $6.40 to $6.55.

We expect this operational strength and balance sheet flexibility to support high single-digit organic revenue growth and double-digit adjusted EPS growth in 2022,” Bisignano added.
