BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today that international fund administrator, Maitland, has selected Accurate™ Reconciliation to improve efficiency and increase the transparency and accuracy of its financial processing.
