Fiserv and Early Warning Services Collaborate on Paze to Provide Financial Institutions and Merchants of All Sizes with a Convenient Digital Checkout Solution for Consumers

Integration with Paze checkout provides additional security through a tokenized payment experience within trusted financial institutions

MILWAUKEE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE: FI), a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology, today announced a new collaboration with Early Warning Services to offer the digital wallet, Paze^SM to financial institutions, providing their customers and members with a convenient online checkout experience via the banks and credit unions those consumers already trust with their money.

Banks and credit unions can now enable the Paze wallet with added security provided by payment tokens. Card account numbers are replaced with a unique number through tokenization, and card numbers are not shared with merchants. Providing a fast, easy, and convenient online checkout experience just like other digital wallets, the Paze solution has a built-in advantage within the thousands of financial institutions powered by Fiserv.

“This strategic offering of Paze provides our clients a new digital checkout solution, one in which their consumers can have full confidence when they check out online,” said Matt Wilcox, Deputy Head, Financial Solutions and President of Digital Payments at Fiserv. “We are excited to enable our clients with a future-forward approach to commerce and with Paze, a convenient online checkout experience for their customers.”

Additionally, Fiserv will enable merchants to accept Paze at checkout, enhancing the payment options available to their customers. Paze will be supported across the Fiserv ecommerce payments suite.

Fiserv and Early Warning Services have forged a long-standing strategic alliance, with Fiserv offering a turnkey service for Zelle®, meeting consumer expectations for fast and reliable person-to-person (P2P) payments. The expanded relationship enables the two companies to explore ways to enhance payment solutions for consumers and streamline the checkout experience for merchants.
