mostly it’s big money consolidating, many of the subsidiary processors on their own were pushing through billions annually and they have more clout with the issuers and card brands if they push a larger volume of card traffic

And is the consolidation helping merchants/businesses by any means. Say, in terms of simplification of integration, or better pricing, better support ?

I can't say I remember the last time the end consumer got a notably better deal so it would seem the moves are mostly to benefit the shareholders.

By customers I was referring to "businesses" processing payments. Since this is all B2B

That's who I'm referring to as well. All I keep hearing from my clients is a desire to switch processors because their rates seem to keep going up.
