Online Resources Corporation (Nasdaq: ORCC), a leading provider of Web-based financial services, today announced that BOK Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: BOKF) has extended a multi-year contract for online payment services for its seven retail banking subsidiaries. BOK Financial, an $18 billion asset financial services company, operates a network of more than 160 retail banking offices in eight states.
Under the agreement, Online Resources’ PayAnyone® service will be integrated with BOK
Financial’s new in-house online banking platform, ensuring that customers receive uninterrupted
access to the bill payment service. In addition, BOK Financial will utilize Online Resources’ Real-Time Digital Scanline® (RTDS) technology, which matches payment and merchant information to produce the highest electronic rate and lowest claims rate in the industry.
BOK Financial will also benefit from Online Resources’ end-to-end payments network, which directly links more consumer payments with more billers than any other provider. This network further boosts electronic rates, maximizes the speed of payments and provides an infrastructure for future product innovation.
