JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Many credit unions recognize Fidelity National Information Services as, among other things, the leading processor of credit union card accounts. But the firm also processes for other financial institutions and it is celebrating the conversion of more than 1 million card accounts for BB&T bank.

“I am pleased to report that the BB&T conversion was a success,” said Gary Norcross, president and chief operations officer of FIS Transaction Processing Services division. “The positive outcome is a reflection of the efforts of both the BB&T and FIS teams. I am proud that BB&T has entrusted FIS with all its credit card transaction processing, and I am confident that our efficiencies and expertise will positively impact BB&T's bottom line.”

“We've been through a number of major conversions in the more than 100 years that BB&T has been in business,” said Bud Tremblay, president and chief executive officer of BB&T Bankcard Corporation and manager of BB&T's Bankcard and Merchant Services. “In comparison, I would say this conversion with FIS went extremely well. We are very pleased and look forward to realizing the full benefits of the improved processes and increased functionality that FIS brings.”
