FSS (Financial Software and Systems), a global payments technology company, announced that Canada’s Everlink Payment Services Inc., a leading provider of payments solutions and services for Canadian credit unions, banks, and small and medium enterprises, has selected FSS’s Unified Card Management System to modernize card operations to support its future growth plans. The FSS solution was chosen as the replacement for Everlink’s legacy card issuance infrastructure to better respond to the needs of the market, with deployment scheduled to go live in the 4th quarter of this year.
Within the scope of the partnership FSS would implement its Unified Card Management System to manage debit and prepaid cards issuance from a single platform and also support transaction processing and programs for prepaid cards, bringing significant scale efficiencies. As part of the deal, FSS would replace the existing card issuance system with an API-based card management framework to simplify operations, reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) and mitigate obsolescence risk.

The current FSS deployment would enable Everlink to migrate from a legacy mainframe-based to an open stack system that integrates seamlessly with payment systems. FSS Unified Card Management System manages the complete lifecycle of card programs and allows for flexible configuration of card products and new program features in line with marketing trends, improving time to market.
