technology, today announced that Bristol County Savings Bank has signed
a long-term renewal agreement for FIS' core

and value to their customers, Bristol County Savings Bank elected to

the bank to provide outstanding products and services, allowing it to
better compete with larger banks in the area.
FIS is a leader in delivering core processing solutions to the community

Bristol County Savings Bank utilizes several other FIS solutions in
addition to the core account processing platform. Some of those
solutions include FIS' remittance
processing, eBanking,
electronic

"After a careful review of several service providers, it was clear that
FIS was the best partner for the bank," said Bob DeMoura, executive vice
president and CIO, Bristol County Savings Bank. "The continued strategic
focus of FIS gives us the confidence that we will be ready for
unforeseen challenges that are just around the corner, as well as those
further on the horizon."

institutions have become blurred," said Anthony
Jabbour, executive vice president, FIS Financial Solutions Group.
