Filing language.
Direct excerpts from acquisition disclosures and strategy sections: the verbs the buyer chose, in the filings they signed.
“In recent years, there has been a significant consolidation of the processing industry which in turn has decreased the competitiveness of the payments industry leaving merchants with few options for payments acceptance.”
“Each of these issuers allow for processing through a crowded field of processing platforms for credit card acceptance in-store and online.”
“The payments industry is dominated by a small number of major players, i.e., Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express.”
