(NYSE: FIS), the world's largest provider of banking and payments
technology, today announced that Calhoun County Bank and AccessBank
Texas have signed multi-year agreements for FIS' core
banking platforms. These agreements underscore FIS' strong market
position within the community bank space.
Headquartered in Denton, Texas, AccessBank Texas was founded in 2007 and
has $107 million in assets. The bank sought a new core solution that
would provide extensive functionality that could be integrated with its
existing solutions to provide increased operational performance.
Deploying FIS' core
account processing platform will provide the bank with industry
leading functionality and back-office automation, enabling the
automation of numerous manual processes. The increased productivity
afforded by use of the solution will enable the bank's staff to focus
their efforts on effectively serving the needs of their customers. The
bank's ability to measure productivity will aid in making sound business
decisions and enable future growth. In addition to the core platform,
AccessBank Texas will also deploy FIS' EFT
and item
processing solutions, which will seamlessly integrate with the core
platform.
"FIS' core processing capabilities are a great fit for AccessBank," said
Lisa Herr, senior vice president and senior operations officer,
AccessBank Texas. "We're benefiting from deep functionality that can be
customized to fit our operating requirements. We think this decision was
the right move for the bank and our customers."
For more than 112 years, Calhoun County Bank has been serving the people
and businesses of Calhoun County, West Virginia. With assets exceeding
$116 million, Calhoun County Bank has expanded into neighboring
counties. The bank was seeking to replace its existing core processing
solution with one that provided effective integration for optimizing key
processes. Deploying FIS' core
account processing platform will provide Calhoun County Bank with an
efficient, easy-to-use and cost-effective system. By streamlining and
simplifying processes, the bank will have the ability to provide fast
and accurate customer service. Exceptional integration will ensure all
customer information is readily available. As part of this agreement,
Calhoun County Bank will also deploy FIS' Document Management and
TellerElite solutions.
"Relationships are very important to us at Calhoun County Bank," said
Jim Bennett, president and CEO, Calhoun County Bank. "We were very
impressed by the exceptional references from FIS' existing customers. We
were confident that, in addition to a top-notch solution, we were also
teaming with a partner we could rely upon and trust."
