FIS Alliance Program Overview
Branch automation initiatives and the re-platforming of banking platforms have required the banking industry to rethink the entire account opening process. This new approach requires the integration of many third party services, solutions and software components. The FIS Alliance Program provides you with the needed level of assurance that your end solution will be a success and exceed customer expectations.
The FIS Alliance Program is designed to provide additional value to banking platform and systems providers who are looking to automate or integrate third party services into the new account opening process. The FIS Alliance Program provides the support services, technology and platform needed to seamlessly integrate account verification and USA Patriot Act compliance solutions into the partner’s core banking and account opening platforms.
FIS works closely with Alliance Partners to ensure the delivery of exceptional risk management products and services to support the requirements of our mutual customers. FIS offers different programs based on the deployment strategy of your systems. Specific program benefits may vary according to the program you select. Please determine the program that best describes your organization:
- Processor Partners - Companies supplying and hosting the hardware and software systems on which FIS products are deployed
