Fiserv,
Inc.
(NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, today announced that Allegacy Federal Credit
Union, a $1.43 billion in assets credit union based in Winston-Salem,
North Carolina, will advance its member and business services
capabilities and prepare for the next stage of its growth by enhancing
its core platform with an integrated suite of solutions from Fiserv.

“We needed a comprehensive solution to support our strategy of expanding
commercial and member relationships, while providing the efficiency,
integration and real-time processing benefits needed to manage our
ongoing growth,” said Cathy Pace, president and CEO, Allegacy Federal
Credit Union. “In the past five years we have opened six new financial
centers with one more scheduled for this fall. Enhancing our core
enables us to continue that growth and better serve our members with a
enriched experience, faster service and improved security around their
accounts.”

The credit union will be moving to DNA®,
a continuously available real-time core account processing platform with
an open architecture, along with integrated solutions from Fiserv to
streamline loan originations, enhance wire services, reduce fraud,
improve and automate marketing programs and create customized,
personalized statements. The credit union also selected the Verifast
Branch biometric solution from Fiserv, which scans a member’s unique
palm-vein pattern and instantly pulls up the member’s account for
reliable and secure authentication and increased front-line efficiency.

“Financial institutions are increasingly becoming technology companies,”
said Ernie Hanington, vice president, Emerging Technologies, Allegacy
Federal Credit Union. “Finding a partner that could grow and support our
digital plans for the future was imperative. The ability of Fiserv to
enhance internal efficiencies and more easily integrate and streamline
our vendor relationships is essential for our growth and member
experience.”

Because Allegacy Federal Credit Union is widely known for supporting the
physical and financial wellness of its employees, members and their
communities with initiatives such as their WellQ program, they are
promoting the transition to Fiserv internally using the theme: Strengthening
Our Core
.

“Fiserv shares Allegacy Federal Credit Union’s focus on innovation and
member service,” said Vincent Brennan, president, Credit Union
Solutions, Fiserv. “The robust, real-time capabilities of DNA and other
integrated solutions from Fiserv will position Allegacy Federal Credit
Union to capture more of their market with the full range of products,
services and channels that retail and commercial members expect in
today’s fast-moving world.”
