Major provider of payment processing, core banking software and merchant acquiring (Clover) technology to banks, credit unions and merchants.
Banks and credit unions pay for core banking systems on long contracts, running for years, so that side is a steady base. Merchants pay Clover a percentage of each card payment it processes plus software fees, so Clover earns more as merchants sell more. The 2019 merger with First Data made it far larger and added payment processing.
Moat: wide (switching costs, scale, installed base). Core banking software is deeply embedded and costly for banks to replace; Clover has a growing merchant installed base.
