BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, today announced that Bank of the Ozarks, headquartered in Little Rock, Arkansas, successfully converted to the Premier^® bank platform. In addition, the bank is implementing a host of additional Fiserv solutions to enhance capabilities and optimize processes for the institution. With 11 acquisitions since 2010, the $6.77 billion Bank of the Ozarks cited the scalability, integration and innovation of Fiserv products and services as factors that will help the bank continue its expansion into new markets.

"Thanks to careful planning and execution by our staff and the Fiserv team, our conversion to Premier went smoothly," said Sean O'Connell, Chief Information Officer, Bank of the Ozarks. "As we grow, it's important for Bank of the Ozarks to remain customer-centric, and Fiserv technology is a quantum leap for our company in terms of capabilities and impact.
