NEXT-GEN SOLUTIONS MOVE A COMMUNITY BANK INTO THE FUTURE
Vidalia Federal Savings Bank Elevates Its Customer Experience with FIS HORIZON
Vidalia Federal Savings Bank (VFSB) has been a cornerstone of the Vidalia, Georgia, community since 1936, committed to fostering savings and homeownership. After partnering with Data Dimensions, later acquired by FIS® in the early 2000s, VFSB transitioned to the FIS HORIZON core banking platform in June 2019.
HORIZON has transformed VFSB's approach to banking, streamlining operations and enhancing customer service. The user-friendly interface reduces friction and allows the team to focus on higher-value tasks. Notable improvements include after-hours procedures, end-of-day balancing, simplified transactions and seamless account access.
Automation has removed the risk of manual errors, and signature pads have improved the customer experience. The introduction of HORIZON Teller Capture has replaced paper-based processes.
The integration of image processing services provides instant access to captured transaction images, fostering transparency and expediting processes.
Freddy Thompson, IT manager at VFSB, highlighted the advantages, "The image services have been a great help. It’s easy to search across the reports now. Having access to the images the tellers capture ... available in the account history has been a big advantage."
With HORIZON, VFSB has revolutionized not only its systems, but also its entire banking approach. Partnering with FIS has set new standards for efficient, customer-centric banking. Connie Morrison, IT at VFSB, emphasized the impact, "Having an FIS account manager and customer success manager who really know our bank and our business has made all the difference. They’ve helped us optimize the core’s functionality and features, both during the implementation and after."
