Washington Federal Signs On to Fiserv’s DNA Account Processing Platform

Seattle-based Washington Federal is adopting Fiserv’s DNA account processing platform, along with several other Fiserv solutions, to support the bank’s future growth initiatives.

The bank ($14.4 billion in assets) chose the DNA platform for its open architecture, real-time account processing and customer-centric model, according to a statement released by Fiserv and Washington Federal today. These characteristics will help the bank maintain a 360-degree view of its customers and simplify the integration of other solutions.
