  • The Banking Technology Awards recognize excellence in the use of IT in financial services

Brookfield, Wis., December 15, 2014 - Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today that it won two categories at the Banking Technology Awards. The Financial Crime Risk Management Platform (FCRM) from Fiserv was named winner of the Best Financial Crime Service category in the Reader`s Choice Awards and, in the Judged Awards, the company was a joint recipient of the Best Use of Mobile Technology in Financial Services award with client ANZ.

"These awards demonstrate that Fiserv is on the cutting edge of financial technology and reinforce our reputation for excellence globally across diverse fintech categories, from mobile banking and risk to reconciliation and CRM," said Travers Clarke-Walker, managing director, EMEA, International Group, Fiserv. "It is a great honor to know we have the endorsement of the industry globally, and that our FCRM solution was found outstanding by the readers of Banking Technology."

The Banking Technology Awards is an illustrious event to recognize excellence in the use of IT in financial services, now in its 15th year. The Readers` Choice Awards is an integral part of the overall program to give readers - comprised of over 22,000 senior decision makers in the global banking industry - the opportunity to have their voices heard and choose the solutions they consider to be the best in the market.

Readers' Choice for Best Financial Crime Service
Financial Crime Risk Management Platform from Fiserv delivers superior capabilities for multichannel fraud prevention, supports regulatory compliance and increases operational efficiency. Specializing in anti-money laundering (AML), check fraud, electronic payments fraud prevention and customer risk, the end-to-end transparency and flexibility of the solution empowers the company`s clients to quickly adapt to changing threats and regulations and allows real-time behavioral monitoring, case management and reporting.

Best Use of Mobile Technology in Financial Services
In 2013, ANZ tapped into the potential of the mobile channel to expand its market and bring a broad range of financial services to the unbanked population of the South Pacific. Deploying Mobiliti Reach™ from Fiserv under the goMoney™ brand, ANZ opened new horizons for customers in Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands, where they have had little or no access to financial services. goMoney enables customers to save, send and spend their money securely from their mobile phones. To date, the service has 90,000 users, 50,000 of whom had no prior relationship with the bank.

"Fiserv has worked closely with ANZ across the South Pacific to develop services that have a massively positive impact not just for the bank itself, but for its customers and their communities," said Serge van Dam, vice president, Digital Channels, International Group, Fiserv. "Extending the reach of financial services to the unbanked and underbanked population of the Pacific will have powerful, sustained and constructive outcomes."
