April 23, 2018

Co-op Financial Services has named Jim Hanisch as president of Co-op Network, with responsibility for long-term strategy and implementation of the expanding Co-op ATM and Co-op Shared Branch nationwide credit union network assets.

Hanisch joined Co-op in 2000 and has served as chief operating officer since April 2017, according to a press release. He serves on the board of the Electronic Funds Transfer Association and is a past EFTA chairman; he also served as a member of the Federal Reserve Faster Payments Task Force.

"One of Jim's many contributions to Co-op's expansion over the years was playing an integral part in the company growing from a California ATM network to a nationwide payments and technology leader," Todd Clark, president and CEO of Co-op Financial Services, said in the release. "As we continue to invest in our Co-op ATM network and to grow Co-op Shared Branch, Jim is the absolute best person to lead this effort on behalf of Co-op."

Hanisch's previous COO role will be merged with the CUSO's technology division, and those responsibilities will be assumed by Chief Information Officer Nick Calcanes, the release said.
