provider, announced the acquisitions of Elmhurst
Financial Services (“Elmhurst”), the leading financial
institution-focused payment processing provider, and Tandem

optimize their customer relationships. “Joining the Celero family
enables Elmhurst to more effectively serve its customers by leveraging
Celero’s technology orientation in a rapidly changing fintech
