The opportunity to expand payment and mobile services to customers and gain access to leading-edge payments technology led Alaska USA Federal Credit Union to select FIS™ (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in banking and payments technology as well as consulting and outsourcing solutions, as its partner for several strategic payment initiatives, including EMV adoption and better leveraging customer data to increase the effectiveness of its customer touch points through analytic reporting.

A top-20 credit union, serving more than 525,000 members, Alaska USA selected FIS for its leadership in EMV migration, particularly its proven ability to lead large-scale EMV conversions.

“Alaska USA was looking to gain operational efficiencies,” said Bruce Lowthers, EVP, North American Retail Payments, FIS. “Coupled with the quality of customer service it had received in the past, it was confident FIS could help it further serve its members – now, and as it grows over time.”

“We focus on consistently providing our members with an exceptional service experience,” said Brian E. Wolf, executive director of Retail Financial Services, Alaska USA Federal Credit Union. “The breadth of FIS’ leading-edge capabilities offered us the kind of modern payments services that our members are looking for.”

The new deal includes EMV card personalization, debit card processing, ATM driving, fraud management services, and NYCE Network access; all while extending the bank’s existing credit card processing relationship provided by Card Services for Credit Unions (CSCU). Alaska USA also extended its relationship using FIS’ ScoreCard Rewards loyalty program, giving it the ability to drive card usage and improve member service by offering industry leading travel and merchandise rewards.
