Fiserv Inc., a global provider of financial services technology solutions, has announced that long-term client Northwest Savings Bank of Warren, Pa., has expanded its use of Fiserv solutions and renewed its account processing relationship on the Signature bank platform.

Northwest Savings Bank has increased its asset size by $5.2 billion since becoming a Fiserv client in 1998 and cites the company as a key strategic partner in its success. According to a company release, large and mid-sized financial institutions rely upon Signature to increase operational efficiency, expand their markets and rapidly deliver a complete range of customer-focused products and services. Signature is fully integrated with other best-in-class Fiserv solutions to provide a complete enterprise-wide solution for financial services delivery.
