BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Fiserv,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), the leading global provider of financial
services technology solutions, today announced that America
First Credit Union (AFCU), one of the largest credit unions in the
United States, has launched MobilitiTM
from Fiserv. With Mobiliti, AFCU members can access their accounts
using SMS (text messaging), a mobile browser, and downloadable
applications for AndroidTM or iPhone™ users. AFCU previously
offered an application-only Mobile Banking service, which had 13,500
users. More than 25,000 new users enrolled in Mobile Banking within five
weeks of launching the expanded service. In total, more than 13 percent
of the credit union's Online Banking users are now enrolled in Mobile
Banking.
"Surging adoption shows that there is an appetite among our members to
access mobile services in multiple ways, and we know we made the right
decision in expanding the AFCU Mobile Banking service to support all
three major access modes," said Rich Syme, senior vice president,
America First Credit Union. "Our members are telling us they appreciate
that usability."
Using Mobiliti, AFCU members can monitor account activity, locate
branches and ATMs, receive alerts, transfer funds and pay bills. The
credit union plans to add remote deposit capture capability in early
2012.
The robust functionality of Mobiliti and the platform's ability to scale
to support new users and functionality led to AFCU's selection of the
service, and the credit union's existing relationship with Fiserv was
also a contributing factor.
With the launch of Mobiliti, AFCU focused on delivering a consistent
experience across the online and mobile channels. Mobiliti integrates
seamlessly with AFCU's existing Online Banking and Bill Pay
technologies, Corillian Online® and CheckFree® RXP®
from Fiserv, allowing members to view multiple accounts with only one
login. Members see the same account names and have access to the same
information across both Online and Mobile Banking. AFCU also its offers
members ZashPay®, a person-to-person (P2P) payments service
from Fiserv.
"Consumers are increasingly looking to the mobile channel to get
financial information and make quick transactions," said Erich Litch,
division president, Digital Channels, Fiserv. "By taking a broad,
long-term approach to their mobile banking and payments strategy, AFCU
is equipped to meet its members' needs today and into the future."
