Financial technology leader FIS® announced today that Rye, NY-based USALLIANCE Financial has selected the FIS Payments One platform to streamline and modernize its portfolio of credit and debit card digital payment offerings for its members.
Founded in 1966, USALLIANCE today manages more than $2 billion in assets for its more than 125,000 members. Known as a leader in providing innovative new digital services to its members, the Credit Union was looking for a proven, integrated payments platform to power its future growth and enable it to further differentiate its offerings from competitors, both credit unions and banks.
A recent FIS PACE survey conducted in February 2021 found that credit unions were second only to large banks in winning new bank accounts during the pandemic. However, the FIS survey also showed that as much as 15 percent of credit union members do not hold cards, representing a significant opportunity for growth.

With FIS Payments One, USALLIANCE can manage its entire portfolio of card processing solutions, loyalty, fraud protection, card production and other payments functionality in a single, end-to-end platform.

“USALLIANCE Financial caters to a tech savvy client-base that tend to be early adopters, and that has always driven our approach towards innovative products and solutions,” said Kevin Randall, EVP at USALLIANCE Financial. “As we sought to enhance our card offerings to our clients and cardholders, we found the FIS Payments One platform to be unique in the market for its simplicity, flexibility and advanced digital features. With a consolidated payments offering, we can continue to focus on our members’ needs and better compete in a fast-changing market.”
