Sterling Savings Bank Outsources Core Banking to FIS

Sterling Savings Bank, Spokane, Wash. ($10 billion in assets), has signed an agreement for FIS' Integrated Banking Services solution.

The bank already used e-payment and imaging products from FIS before deciding to extend the relationship to include IBS and a host of other solutions. As part of the IBS deployment, FIS will also deliver ACH, CRM, eBanking and risk, fraud and compliance products.

"We selected FIS' IBS core platform because it is a comprehensive solution that, combined with additional FIS products, provides automation, intuitive workflows, relationship banking, simplified and faster on-boarding and support for our sales driven culture," said Cindy Parker, senior vice president, IT executive at Sterling Savings Bank. "After conducting a detailed core evaluation process, we determined that FIS was the right strategic technology partner to support the bank's corporate growth goals and help to increase profitability."
