Fiserv

The big four core vendors have had little incentive to innovate in recent years. But newer competition will force them to update their technology if they wish to survive the digital age.

Digital mortgages transform the customer experience with slick user interfaces and data integrations that streamline the process of getting a borrower hooked up with a lender. Now it's time to disrupt the rest of the process.

The $870 million credit union made the move as part of its "member-centric technology strategy."

Fiserv's acquisition of U.K.-based real-time payments provider Dovetail Group Ltd. is a move made with a global vision in mind.

Removing friction across channels and payment types not only leads to a transformative digital banking experience, it also helps ensure those positive outcomes translate to business success for financial institutions, writes Mark Little, senior user experience researcher for digital channels at Fiserv.

The number of channels consumers use to pay their bills is unlikely to decrease anytime soon, so billers that are able to check off every bill payment channel will enjoy a competitive advantage, writes Jim Lester, senior vice president of product management and strategy for biller solutions at Fiserv.

The two companies have created a robo-adviser with financial literacy tools to help people understand the basics of investing as they assemble their first portfolio.

This morning it was announced that Fiserv is to acquire UK mobile payments veteran Monitise for 70 million pounds ($88.72 million). This is quite a bargain considering that at its peak, Monitise was valued at around 2 billion pounds. But beyond the firesale price tag, what exactly does Fiserv get out of this?

The credit union was credited with "pioneering" use of biometrics capabilities in-branch.

All six credit unions will utilize Fiserv’s DNA core platform, extending contracts with the technology provider that go on for more than 20 years.
