Tech Bytes: Visa Certifies Software From Home Financial

Home Financial Network Inc. said its Home ATM bank- ing and bill-paying software received certification from Visa Interactive.

The Home Financial systems, which are marketed as a simple alternative to more comprehensive financial management packages like Intuit Inc.'s Quicken, are now approved for use by Visa Interactive member institutions.

Home Financial chairman and chief executive Daniel Schley called it "a major milestone," as the Visa unit holds applicants to "stringent standards of excellence."

Home Financial is piloting its systems beginning this month with UMB Financial Corp., Kansas City, Mo., and Zions Bancorp., Salt Lake City, with rollouts to customers scheduled for the first quarter of 1997.
