Continuing to excel at high-touch customer service while also expanding offerings to customers led the Bank of Prairie Village to select FIS™ (NYSE: FIS), a global leader in banking and payments technology as well as consulting and outsourcing solutions, as its new core banking provider.

The bank is an extremely personal, ultra-high-touch institution with a very demanding client base. In order to keep up with the demands of such customers – without sacrificing its one-on-one nature – bank leaders determined that a new core solution was needed. They recognized that greater technology, plus increased ease of use and integration, would allow employees to remain directly focused on customers while the bank continued to expand offerings to meet those customers’ growing needs.

Integration was a key differentiator for FIS, as was its long-term commitment to community financial institutions. For that reason, the Bank of Prairie Village selected FIS for a full suite of supporting services, including eBanking, EFT processing, imaging, item processing, TellerPlus and more. By bringing together these solutions, FIS gave the bank the ability to grow with efficiency.

“Continually improving its service to customers is a hallmark of Bank of Prairie Village,” said Anthony Jabbour, CEVP, Integrated Financial Solutions, FIS. “FIS shares that commitment, and our ability to innovate and reinvent the way financial institutions support their customers is what makes our partnerships with clients so deep.”

“FIS’ team articulated a methodical conversion plan to update and service our operating system in a fashion that resonated with our entire bank technology and operating team,” said Dan Bolen, chairman, Bank of Prairie Village. “As a bank team, we immediately realized that if FIS took such painstaking research and planning for us when we were just a prospect, partnering with them would be even better.”

FIS is a leader in the community bank space, supporting community financial institutions across North America.

Chartered in 1931, during the Great Depression, the Bank of Prairie Village is the only FDIC-insured bank that is chartered and headquartered in Prairie Village, Kan.
