Dear
Friends of SecurityStockWatch.com,
“Transformation of the payments landscape is accelerating.
During the past five years, check volume has decreased 4.1% annually,
ACH volume has increased 18.6% and according to the 2007 Federal Reserve
Payments Study, 40% of all checks are now being electronified. All
of these trends are expected to grow. It is becoming critical for
you to consider how the future of payment processing will impact your
institution and to formulate the steps necessary to create an enterprise
view of all payments. To facilitate elimination of payments processing
silos, CheckFree has developed Pragmatic Convergence as a strategy
to help financial institutions see its way to achieving enterprise-wide
payment convergence..” These are among the comments and observations
by Mr. Samuel Robb, VP – Global Strategic Marketing, CheckFree
- now part of Fiserv (Nasdaq: FISV). Please see the entire interview
here: www.securitystockwatch.com/Interviews/in_Boardroom_CF.html.
