Bank of America has acquired Axia Technologies, a leading health care payment and technology company focused on facilitating patient payments.
The acquisition will expand Bank of America’s payment offerings for healthcare clients and will further accelerate the bank’s ability to serve this key vertical. It is part of an initiative to integrate merchant services onto its proprietary platform following the dissolution of its merchant services joint venture last year.
Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
AxiaMed provides a gateway and terminal software solution, powering many healthcare providers to offer patient payment solutions. Its integrated offerings help the financial performance of healthcare providers by expanding the payment options available to patients and streamlining administrative workflows.

The platform leverages innovations such as real-time payments and digital capabilities to provide essential functions such as merchant acquiring, payments processing and settlement, along with value-added services such as analytics and security solutions.
