Unified credit processing platform with robust APIs will create efficiencies and increase speed-to-market of new solutions
Desjardins Group, the largest financial cooperative in North America, will transition its credit card processing to Fiserv, Inc., a leading global provider of payments and financial services technology solutions. By streamlining management of consumer card, commercial card, prepaid card, and business lines of credit portfolios onto a single unified platform, Fiserv is enabling Desjardins to create synergies across products and power innovative new offerings for its consumer members and business clients.
“We look forward to working with Desjardins as our flagship card issuing client in Canada, and bringing our leading, modern capabilities which will enable Desjardins to best serve their loyal members and clients”
Through its market-leading card issuing platform, Optis, which processes more than one billion credit accounts across North America, Fiserv will support Desjardins’ rapidly growing credit card portfolio, which now has close to four million accounts. This will allow Desjardins to expand existing digital and mobile-first capabilities to create a cohesive, real-time experience that includes push provisioning, self-servicing, and robust digital solutions for Desjardins members and clients.

“It is no longer enough just to deliver a card that works well and allows customers to pay,” said Zil Bareisis, Head of Retail Banking at Celent, the leading research and advisory firm. “Customers expect to have real-time information at their fingertips, along with card controls that allow them to limit payments or freeze a card, and alerts should anything go wrong. Bank staff also want modern user interfaces and unified experiences. Modern platforms like Optis offered by Fiserv enable financial institutions to design great experiences for everyone.”
Fiserv will also provide end-to-end credit processing functions for Desjardins, including core card processing, fraud detection, risk management and ancillary services. “As Desjardins modernizes for the future we’re enhancing our card platform to continue to deliver a best-in-class experience for our members, clients, and employees,” said Yann Jodoin, VP Payment & Retail Chief Product Officer at Desjardins. “Fiserv investments in digital innovation are allowing us to deliver new digital capabilities.”
