Business Segment Information Business Segment Information
The Company’s operations are comprised of two reportable segments, the Merchant segment and the Financial segment. The businesses in the Merchant segment provide commerce-enabling products and services to companies of all sizes around the world. These products and services include merchant acquiring and digital commerce services; mobile payment services; security and fraud protection solutions; stored-value solutions; and pay-by-bank solutions. The business lines (operating segments) aggregated within the Merchant segment consist of the following:
•Small Business – provides products and services to small businesses and independent software vendors, including Clover®, the Company’s POS and business management platform for small business clients
•Enterprise – provides products and services to large businesses, including the Company’s integrated omnichannel operating system for enterprise clients
•Processing – provides products and services to financial institutions, joint ventures, and other third party resellers which have direct relationships with merchants
The Company distributes the products and services in the Merchant segment businesses through a variety of channels, including direct sales teams, strategic partnerships with agent sales forces, independent software vendors, financial institutions and other strategic partners in the form of joint venture alliances, revenue sharing alliances and referral agreements.
The businesses in the Financial segment provide products and services to financial institution, corporate and public sector clients across the world, enabling the processing of customer loan and deposit accounts, digital payments and card transactions. The business lines (operating segments) aggregated within the Financial segment consist of the following:
•Digital Payments – provides debit card processing services; debit network services; security and fraud protection products; bill payment; person-to-person payments; and account-to-account transfers
•Issuing – provides credit card processing services; prepaid card processing services; card production services; print services; government payment processing; and student loan servicing
•Banking – provides customer loan and deposit account processing; digital banking; financial and risk management; professional services and consulting; and check processing

Corporate and Other supports the reportable segments described above, and consists of amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, unallocated corporate expenses and other activities that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance, such as gains or losses on sales of businesses, certain assets or investments; costs associated with acquisition and divestiture activity; expenses associated with the Company’s One Fiserv transformation initiative; postage reimbursements; and gains on early debt extinguishment associated with refinancing activities. The Company’s One Fiserv action plan is a comprehensive, strategic initiative aimed to enhance client service, accelerate product development, address operational inefficiencies, and optimize capital management.
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who is also the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assesses segment performance and makes strategic decisions on the allocation of resources. Additionally, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer provides oversight on business leadership and corporate strategy to the executive leadership team, who manages the day to day operations of the various business lines.
The CODM uses reportable segment operating income to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources, primarily during the annual budget and forecasting processes. The CODM regularly reviews variances between forecasted and actual results in assessing earnings, operational efficiency and growth performance, and allocating resources including personnel and capital allocations, to each reportable segment. There are no intersegment revenues contained within the respective reportable segment revenues.
Operating results for each reportable segment were as follows:
