BROOKFIED, Wis. - Fiserv Inc. announced Oct. 3 that it has reopened its item processing facility in Jefferson Parish, La., a suburb of New Orleans.
The center, which closed Aug. 26 and relocated operations in Houston and Norcross, Ga., provides check-processing services for 30 clients.
The New Orleans Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, which relocated operations to Atlanta on Aug. 26, has not yet moved all of its operations back to New Orleans. All Federal Reserve items will continue to be processed through Fiserv's Norcross office. The Fed has not announced when or if it will return check operations to New Orleans, making the future of full-service processing at Fiserv's Jefferson Parish office uncertain.
