Second, Financial Solutions & Payments (~48% of revenue), monetizing core account processing (DNA, Premier), debit card routing (Accel, Star networks), digital banking platforms, bill payment processing, and card personalization for banks and credit unions under 5-to-10-year recurring software service agreements.
