Another day, another merger & acquisition (M&A) deal is announced. It truly is getting exciting as deal making is at a frenzied pace after a few years of lacklustre M&A activity. Today, the news story of the day was in the payments and financial services technology category.

Shares of Payfare Inc. (TSX: PAY) (OTCQX: PYFRF) are surging on news that the company is being acquired by Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE: FI). Fiserv, a global provider of payments and financial services technology will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Payfare for CA$4.00 in cash per share, for total consideration of approximately CA$201.5 million.
