Nat Financial Svcs is the company that provides the various tax document downloads for Fidelity Investments.

IF you import your Fidelity tax forms, that's the Provider/Payer that is listed and used on the 1099-DIV, also the1099-INT,  -OID, and Form1099B/8949 if you any of those too. (and supposedly, the IRS can be traced back to Fidelity)

But I guess they would also be providing their tax document services to other companies too.
