Peery explained that the bank cut fraud losses by more than 50 percent year over year using the dynamic CPS fraud mitigation tools, an improvement that positively impacted its bottom line and earnings per share. Leveraging CPS is part of a broader initiative for the bank to create a local banking service model in the digital channel. They also launched Jack Henry’s Banno Digital PlatformTM this summer, further increasing customer satisfaction and ratings.
CPS enables diverse financial institutions to grow cardholder acquisition and expand wallet share while minimizing the expenses and inherent risks associated with managing this channel. Its modern infrastructure, combined with Jack Henry’s service, has allowed FirstBank to easily convert three recent acquisitions to its new card platform.
Phil Tollison, senior managing director of JHA Card Processing Solutions, said, “Jack Henry has provided competitive card processing solutions for three decades, and continually seeks new solutions that enable its clients to meet evolving consumers’ expectations. Supporting our broad base of bank and credit union clients with a single platform for debit and credit card processing provides expanded payment capabilities, stronger integrations, and better service, all of which translate into more optimal payment experiences for their cardholders.”
