MONETT, Mo., Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: JKHY) is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry. Its JHA Payment Processing Solutions^® (PPS) division today announced that it added more than 30 credit unions to its client roster during the company's 2012 fiscal year, ending June 30.

PPS enables credit unions to consolidate credit, debit, and ATM card processing services, which provides a single point of contact for settlements, adjustments, and reconciliations. It also offers an array of complementary products and value-add services that help credit unions effectively and efficiently perform ongoing profitability analysis, maximize card portfolio value, and meet cardholders' convenience-related expectations.

The Summit Federal Credit Union, based in Rochester, N.Y., is among the credit unions that recently converted its debit and ATM processing to PPS. The institution has 40 ATMs located primarily in the Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse areas, and it was able to complete the bulk of the conversions in two days.

According to Mark Brewer, vice president of information technology at the credit union, "PPS shares in our commitment to provide excellent customer service. I've always heard positive comments about the way their customers are treated, and our working relationship has been a testament to that. A key benefit to us was the treatment of our members. The conversion to PPS resulted in very little downtime, and it was fairly transparent to ATM users."   

John Postle, general manager of PPS, said, "Our steady growth during the 2012 fiscal year corresponds with more credit unions taking action to improve operating efficiencies and member services. We take great pride in our reputation for superior customer service, a seamless change management process, and easy-to-use technologies that help credit unions streamline operations to gain competitive advantages."
