Wells Fargo Merchant Services (WFMS), in which Fiserv acquired a 40% stake through its 2019 merger with First Data, will expire on 1 April 2025.

In an SEC filing, Fiserv says it expects to receive a cash payment or assets equal to the value of its share in WFMS.

The payment processing giant says it also expects an impairment charge of between $400 million and $600 million.

While the joint venture is ending, the two firms have entered into a new multiyear agreement for Fiserv to provide processing for current and future merchant clients.
