Kyle Goodwin, executive vice president and CFO, First Financial Bank, commented:

In working with the Fiserv team and speaking with other clients, we are confident that we have found a partner with the technology and expertise to support our goals. Our customers have shared many compliments about the new services. We’re delivering a better banking experience through a multitude of delivery channels.

Mobile banking is one of the new offerings that has been well received. The bank is using the Mobiliti mobile banking platform from Fiserv. Goodwin has heard from customers that the service is easy to use, and some customers are already using mobile banking more frequently than online banking.

The bank has also chosen a number of business-focused solutions from Fiserv to strengthen commercial banking capabilities and attract more businesses in the competitive market surrounding Birmingham. These solutions include Business Online™ for commercial online banking, CheckFree® Small Business for bill payment, Mobile Source Capture™ for remote deposit capture and Mobiliti: Tablet for a banking experience optimized for tablet users.

The bank converted to the Cleartouch® bank platform from Fiserv in April 2016. Goodwin says day-to-day operations have been smooth, and the Fiserv client services team has provided a high-level of support for the bank’s employees as they have questions.
