BROOKFIELD, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ:FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, announced today that three credit unions located in British Columbia have selected the DNA® account processing platform from Fiserv. The credit unions include: Bulkley Valley Credit Union ($320 million in assets), based in Smithers; North Peace Savings and Credit Union ($477 million in assets), based in Fort St John; and Spruce Credit Union ($132 million in assets), based in Prince George.
All three credit unions required a proven, leading-edge account processing platform with an open architecture and person-centric data model providing the flexibility to address members’ changing needs. They join Williams Lake and District Credit Union, another credit union based in British Columbia that selected the DNA platform in 2015.
Fiserv partner Celero will provide conversion services for all three credit unions as well as hosting and business services for North Peace Savings and Credit Union and Spruce Credit Union. Fiserv will host DNA for Bulkley Valley Credit Union.

We’re also gaining front- and back-office efficiencies that will enable us to spend more time interacting with members.”
