Those contract renewals represent credit unions with combined assets of more than $37.5 billion, serving more than 5.7 million member accounts.
“Fiserv’s ability to attract new credit unions and retain the business of our current clients is a direct result of our focus on client satisfaction and product innovation,” said Tom Neill, Fiserv’s Group President of Depository Institution Processing.
Fiserv now provides core processing services to more than one-third of all credit unions with $1 billion or more in assets. “Partnering with many of the industry’s largest credit unions and leading technology innovators enables Fiserv to stay ahead of our competition on new product development and services. Our mission is to help our clients gain market leadership by better serving their members.
