ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), the AI control tower for business reinvention, and Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of payments and financial technology, today announced an expanded strategic commitment to accelerate AI-driven transformation of financial services. As part of the agreement, Fiserv will scale its use of ServiceNow Now Assist for Financial Services Operations (FSO) and IT Service Management (ITSM) to improve operations across IT and customer service environments supporting Fiserv clients.

Fiserv sits at the intersection of banking and commerce, serving clients ranging from the largest corporations and corner stores, to banks, credit unions, and fintechs of all sizes. By deploying Now Assist for FSO and ITSM, Fiserv is strengthening its proactive operations by infusing real-time insight with guided and automated actions across its IT service environment. These enhancements will improve resiliency and efficiency when performance anomalies arise, helping Fiserv to identify emerging conditions earlier and resolve them faster and more consistently, driving greater stability and higher client satisfaction.

The commitment builds on a long-standing relationship between ServiceNow and Fiserv, including Fiserv’s use of ServiceNow workflows that support IT, security, technology management, and employee processes. With Now Assist running on the ServiceNow AI Platform, Fiserv is improving IT and customer service operations at scale by applying AI assistance directly into workflows. This is especially critical as transaction volumes, regulatory complexity, and customers’ expectations grow across the financial services industry.

“Financial institutions operate in environments with zero tolerance for disruption,” said Paul Fipps, president of Global Customer Operations at ServiceNow. “Through our expanded relationship with Fiserv, we’re making AI an operational advantage — embedded directly into the workflows that keep financial institutions running. With ServiceNow Now Assist, teams can manage complexity with greater resilience and confidence. Together, we’re driving smarter, more proactive operations at scale.”

“Operational stability and resiliency are foundational to how Fiserv serves our clients,” said Pete Cavicchia, global chief technology officer at Fiserv. “By using ServiceNow Now Assist, we’re embedding intelligence directly into our operational workflows, enabling our teams to identify issues earlier, resolve incidents faster, and operate with greater consistency at scale. This allows us to move from reactive support models to proactive, resilient operations, strengthening the reliability our clients expect from Fiserv every day.”

Together, ServiceNow and Fiserv are focused on delivering reliability where it matters most for the employees and customers they serve. Fiserv expects to deploy Now Assist for FSO and ITSM in Q1 2026.
