Transaction Growth on the Rise with Anza Money Transfer Service

Anza has successfully implemented bank customer and prepaid debit card programs with money transfer capability and has experienced transaction growth to China, Mexico and the Caribbean. This payment-as-a-service offering easily integrates with S1's Consumer Online Banking solution to provide bank customers with the ability to perform domestic and international money transfers. The solution is already live with clients using both S1's IBS and self-service banking solutions. Anza has also implemented the use of lower cost money transfer networks that include the US Federal Reserve Bank's International ACH Transaction (IAT) network.

"Transaction growth has proven we have a viable solution that can be easily implemented by banks in order to compete with existing third-party providers and large financial institutions implementing universal money movement solutions," says Randy Gutierrez, President and CEO of Anza.



Anza Money Transfer Service is a turn-key service enabling financial institutions to offer a competitive, revenue-generating person-to-person payments service to consumers through the convenient, trusted online banking channel. The service was designed with the needs of community and regional banks and credit unions in mind, removing key risk, operations, and compliance hurdles faced by smaller institutions. The service is offered by Anza International in conjunction with national bank partner, Central National Bank, and S1.

  • Service emerging and specialty segment needs (affluent, remittance, GenY, etc.)
  • Earn revenue share per transaction
  • Turn-key service model (divest operations, risk, compliance, settlement, customer service)
  • No set-up or systems interface costs (integrates with S1 and core banking environment)

Benefits to consumers:
  • Send money to virtually anyone, anywhere from a bank account
