CINCINNATI--()--Fifth Third Bank has announced the formation of the Payments and Commerce Solutions division. The new division was created to rethink the payment and commerce experience with innovation that delivers greater value to customers. The organization is led by Randy Koporc, executive vice president and head of Fifth Third Payments and Commerce Solutions.
