Horizon Community Credit Union Selects Fidelity Information Services’
Mercury™ Core Processing Solution
Windows®-based Platform Complete with Integrated Collections and eBanking Capabilities
Positions Credit Union to Expand Member Relationships
Jacksonville, FL -- (June 22, 2005) -- Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (NYSE:FNF), a Fortune
500 provider of products and outsourced services and solutions to financial institutions and the
real estate industry, and its Fidelity Information Services (“Fidelity”) division today announced a
five-year agreement with Green Bay, Wisconsin-based Horizon Community Credit Union
(“Horizon”) to deliver comprehensive information technology solutions – encompassing Core
Processing, Internet Banking, Interactive Voice Response and Integrated Collections
Management. Chartered in 1932 as the credit union for Proctor & Gamble employees—now
with more than $35 million in assets—Horizon will leverage Fidelity’s comprehensive
information technology solutions to fully support the institutions’ rapid growth and offer a wider
array of more personalized services to its nearly 4,500 member base.
“Our member-focused business approach required that we seek out a newer and much more
powerful technology platform complete with the comprehensive Internet and telephone banking
capabilities needed to competitively distinguish our credit union and fully serve our members,”
said Patrick G. Josephson, Horizon Community Credit Union president and CEO. “We also
knew we needed the help of a partner that could prove they had the business knowledge and
market understanding it would take to ensure our success. When our analysis was done, Fidelity
was clearly superior to its competitors in terms of not only its technology innovation and
industry knowledge but also in the number and quality of client references that served to validate
our decision to purchase Mercury.”
Fidelity’s Mercury is a Windows®-complete system—or one that adheres to standards
established by Microsoft®—and is designed specifically to meet the needs of mid-tier credit
unions with a goal of establishing highly personalized, member-centric relationships. In addition
to Mercury, Horizon will leverage a number of additional capabilities from Fidelity, including its
SmartCollector™ collections management solution, Home Banking and Interactive Voice
Response systems. A nationwide ATM network, eStatements and Business Banking are among
the additional capabilities integral to Mercury, many of which Horizon plans to implement in the
future.
“Like Horizon, many growth-oriented credit unions are looking for an integrated and proven
solutions approach—more often than not from a single provider—that equips them to effectively
and easily improve their member relationships and, ultimately, their business performance,"
stated Santo Cannone, senior vice president of Fidelity’s Integrated Financial Solutions division
and executive in charge of the company’s credit union business. “By selecting Fidelity as its
outsourcing partner, Horizon can now devote critical energy to serving the needs of its rapidly
growing market while we focus on delivering the integrated solutions and management resources
required to optimize both its service portfolio and its member relationships.”
