Yahoo Finance Fiserv Partners VyStar Credit Union to Boost Mobile Banking
Fiserv, Inc. FISV yesterday announced a partnership with leading credit union, VyStar for enhancement of Vystar’s mobile banking platform.
VyStar Mobile Banking App is now equipped with a new alerting and card control functionality, which will allow individuals manage their debit card transactions based on the type, amount or place. If stolen or misplaced, cards also can be turned on/off.
Fiserv claims that more than 15,000 members have signed up for it in the last 90 days through VyStar’s Mobile Banking App.
Mobiliti and CardValet are the two Fiserv engines powering the application. VyStar Health Savings Account (HSA) and Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) cards will also be featured with the new Card Controls App. Notably, VyStar is said to be Fiserv’s first client to work on an updated mobile banking platform.
A glimpse of the company’s price trend reveals that the stock has had an impressive run on the bourse in the past year. Shares of Fiserv have gained 23%, outperforming the S&P 500’s gain of 13.9%.

In May, Fiserv allied with Broadway Bank to help the latter grow in the commercial banking market by using its Commercial Center cash management solution. In the same month, Fiserv collaborated with Merchant Bank of Sri Lanka & Finance PLC (MBSL) to help the latter offer improved financial services to its customers by leveraging Fiserv’s Signature core account processing platform and front-end teller systems.
In April, Fiserv partnered with SISCOOP to enable 26 Mexican credit unions to offer a full range of secured digital banking and payment services using Fiserv’s DigitalAccess technology. This came on the heels of Fiserv’s foray into digital transformation with Carter Bank & Trust of Martinsville. The bank will use the Digital Edge suite from Fiserv to digitalize banking services and automate multiple manual processes as part of a strategic transformation.
Considering the rapidly changing financial services industry and increasing demand for digital banking services, investment in digital-oriented technologies should boost Fiserv’s long-term growth and improve competitiveness.
We believe that the company will continue to pursue accretive deals, which will boost its market share and customer base going forward. The company is focused on becoming a global leader in transaction-based technology solutions.

Here's another stock idea to consider. Much like petroleum 150 years ago, lithium power may soon shake the world, creating millionaires and reshaping geo-politics. Soon electric vehicles (EVs) may be cheaper than gas guzzlers. Some are already reaching 265 miles on a single charge.
With battery prices plummeting and charging stations set to multiply, one company stands out as the #1 stock to buy according to Zacks research.
