MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Bond R. Isaacson, who headed up development of payments products for Bank of America, has joined transaction processor Concord EFS (Nasdaq: CEFT) as executive vice president reporting to Edward A. Labry III, president.
According to a news release, Isaacson will be responsible for designing payments products for Concord, focusing on untapped payment categories such as small value and recurring payments.
