“Can the dominant veterinary diagnostics company become the operating and financial system of the veterinary clinic?”
IDEXX has built the dominant veterinary diagnostics franchise (reference labs, in-house analyzers, SNAP tests) and expanded into veterinary practice management software through acquisitions like ezyVet, SmartFlow, Animana, and Cornerstone. The embedded finance angle is IDEXX Payments — a Fiserv-powered integrated payments product bundled into Cornerstone and Neo — extending the platform from clinical workflow into merchant acquiring for veterinary practices.
IDEXX processes payments through Fiserv (CardConnect/CardPointe) and IDEXX Payments (self-operated).
IDEXX uses Persona for KYC and identity verification.
IDEXX's lending and capital products are provided by CareCredit.
IDEXX integrates with Xero.
The Embedded Finance Index 2026 maps 4 layers in IDEXX's stack: Payments / PSP (Fiserv (CardConnect/CardPointe) and IDEXX Payments (self-operated)); Lending (CareCredit); KYC (Persona); Accounting (Xero).
IDEXX was founded by David Evans Shaw and is founded in 1983, headquartered in Westbrook, Maine, USA.
IDEXX's acquisitions include ezyVet (2018), Animana, SmartFlow and Vet Radar.
