FIS, a provider of global financial technology solutions, announced that BankSouth has implemented its banking technology platform to facilitate the retail and business banking modernization of the bank.
The bank’s alliance speaks to the Georgia community bank’s larger digital transformation efforts as it plans to improve the experience it offers customers, grow its innovation ability and speed the delivery of AI-enabled banking solutions and fintech relationships.
BankSouth’s transition from its legacy core platform was driven by the need for a more scalable and flexible infrastructure capable of supporting modern API integrations, faster deployment of third-party technologies, and advanced data capabilities.
“BankSouth’s growth ambitions align perfectly with what FIS can deliver,” said Andrew Beatty, Head of Global Cores, FIS. “With strong data capabilities and a future-ready architecture, FIS gives BankSouth the scalability and speed to innovate with confidence. We’re proud to support BankSouth in this next phase of its modernization journey, helping the bank manage the full money lifecycle on an integrated platform while unlocking new opportunities to serve its customers with excellence.”

Through the implementation, BankSouth will gain access to several FIS solutions designed to support innovation, operational efficiency, and customer engagement. These include FIS Code Connect, the company’s open API platform that streamlines integrations and helps financial institutions bring new technologies to market faster.
The bank will also leverage advanced payments and card management capabilities, including digital card functionality, dispute management tools, and features designed to support non-interest revenue growth. Additionally, FIS will provide enhanced fraud prevention technologies powered by predictive analytics to help identify and mitigate threats proactively.
Standardized data infrastructure will further enable BankSouth to adopt AI-powered fraud detection applications, deliver more personalized banking experiences, and improve automation across back-office operations.
“Even as the pace of technological change ramps up, personal relationships remain at the heart of community banking,” said Harold Reynolds, President and CEO, BankSouth. “FIS gives us seamless connectivity to the fintech partners we need, and their data strategy and commitment to data-driven banking set them apart. That, combined with their payments depth, innovation and genuine focus on client success, positions us to implement a real AI strategy — one that makes our consumer customers’ lives easier and keeps our business customers competitive and responsive as commerce rapidly evolves.”
The collaboration highlights the increasing demand among regional and community banks for AI-ready banking infrastructure that combines operational scalability with modern digital banking capabilities while preserving relationship-driven customer service.
