Global: Fiserv Expands European Presence with Acquisition of CCV

Fiserv has acquired CCV, a longstanding provider of payment services across the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, in a strategic move to enhance the expansion of its Clover payment terminal across Europe.

Founded in Arnhem in 1958, CCV pioneered electronic payments in the Netherlands during the 1970s. The company currently serves over 600,000 business clients, offering a comprehensive range of transaction processing solutions, online and closed-loop payment services, acquiring capabilities, and a variety of in-store and self-service payment terminals.

With a workforce of 1,000 employees across its core markets, the acquisition positions Fiserv to integrate its solutions within CCV’s extensive customer base, enabling cross-selling opportunities and deeper market penetration.

Commenting on the acquisition, Katia Karpova, Head of the EMEA region at Fiserv, stated, “The addition of CCV enables Fiserv to accelerate the deployment of our Clover platform and operating system, providing enhanced capabilities and innovation to our clients across Europe.”

This strategic acquisition reinforces Fiserv’s commitment to expanding its presence in the European payment ecosystem while delivering advanced regulatory technology solutions to businesses across the region.
