Under a multi-year strategic management services programme, TD Merchant Solutions will use Fiserv technology, including the Clover point-of-sale system, for its business.
Fiserv is also acquiring a portfolio of approximately 3400 TD merchant relationships with 30,000 locations that will migrate to the US firm's processing system and Clover.
Fiserv says the move deepens its position in Canada, while TD says it will simplify its merchant business and reduce costs over time.
Barbara Hooper, group head, Canadian business banking, TD, says: "This strategic relationship with Fiserv will directly benefit our clients by combining Clover, Fiserv's innovative merchant product offering, with our business banking solutions, providing our merchants with the capability to leverage the latest technology to process payments and grow."
The transaction is expected to close later this year, subject to customary closing conditions.

Dye & Durham to consider sale, merger in truce with investor Plantro

July 29 (Reuters) - Dye & Durham ( opens new tab will review strategic alternatives to stabilize its finances and may even consider selling itself, it said on Tuesday, reaching a settlement that avoids a proxy fight with its second-largest investor, Plantro. The agreement comes less than a month after Plantro, which owns 11% of the Toronto-based Canadian legal software maker, said it was nominating three directors to the board who would push for a sale of the company, and calling for a special shareholders' meeting to vote on the nominees. Plantro had argued a sale was the only way to realize a control premium for shareholders and restore stability in the business. Dye & Durham has now agreed to add Plantro-nominee David Danziger to its board of directors. Danziger, who has expertise in audits, accounting, M&A and management consulting, will also chair a newly formed special committee to lead the review. In return, Plantro has withdrawn its special meeting request. Dye & Durham said it will not make any further public comments about the review, which could also include potential mergers, recapitalizations and asset sales, until the process has been completed. In May, Plantro, a company controlled by former Dye & Durham CEO Matthew Proud, asked Dye & Durham to stabilize its executive team, divest its financial services division, and later this year pursue the sale of its remaining core business.

LG Innotek to take stake in lidar maker Aeva as part of $50 million deal

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29 (Reuters) - Aeva Technologies (AEVA.O), opens new tab said on Tuesday that South Korean camera module maker LG Innotek ( opens new tab will take an equity stake in Aeva as part of a $50 million strategic collaboration. Aeva makes lidar sensors that help vehicles and industrial equipment gain a detailed three-dimensional view of their environment and detect how fast surrounding objects are moving. It supplies sensors to vehicle firms such as Daimler Truck and industrial equipment makers such as Nikon. As part of the deal, LG Innotek will make a $32 million equity investment in Aeva for a "single-digit percentage ownership" in the company, Aeva CEO Soroush Salehian told Reuters in an interview. The remainder of the deal will go toward building production capacity for sensors that can go into robotics and consumer devices, in addition to Aeva's existing markets of vehicles and industrial equipment. 'The ultimate goal of this partnership is for LG Innotek and Aeva to grow together as key players leading the next-generation lidar market through a long-term technology partnership that goes beyond the supply of products,' the South Korean electronics supplier's CEO, Hyuksoo Moon, said in a statement. Salehian told Reuters that Aeva is working to integrate its entire sensor into a single chip whose price can be driven low enough to make it viable in consumer electronics such as augmented reality headsets. "The roadmap that we're going towards is double-digit dollars," Salehian told Reuters. "We are already working towards the next generation that will allow for a very low-cost solution, which we think will be a game changer for mass adoption of what we call precision sensing."
