First American by Deluxe Again Named Top 20 U.S. Merchant Acquirer by The Nilson Report

The payment technology company earns spot at Number 19 based on 2022 Mastercard and Visa card processing volume

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In its annual ranking of the largest merchant acquirers in the United States, The Nilson Report has again included First American by Deluxe in the Top 20, placing the company at No. 19 based on Mastercard and Visa card processing volume.

First American’s total processing volume comprises Mastercard/Visa/Discover/American Express and PIN debit transactions which grew to more than $40 billion in 2022, up from $37 billion the prior year. This growth was fueled by the company’s continued focus on financial institutions and an expansion into verticals such as fleet services, an area in which First American is one of six processors authorized to serve this market entirely in-house.

“We are honored to be recognized again this year as a leading merchant acquirer,” said Neil Randel, CEO of First American and Managing Director of Merchant Services for Deluxe. “With a mission to become the premier payment technology for small- to mid-size businesses, and with the incredible distribution, brand trust, and resources provided by Deluxe, this achievement is a testament to the power of our partnership.
