National Data Corporation (NDC) was an American information technology company and payment processor founded in 1967 by Ret. U.S. Air Force Colonel George Thorpe. [1] At its peak in 1987, NDC was the world's largest payments processor by volume. [2]
NDC operated chiefly in the health information services and electronic payment processing of credit and debit cards. The company spun-off its eCommerce division, Global Payment Systems, to form Global Payments in 2001 while rebranding the healthcare division as NDCHealth. [3] NDCHealth would later be acquired by Per-Se in 2005 which was subsequently acquired by McKesson Corporation in 2006. [4]
