While maintaining a strong focus on retail banking, Woodforest also supports commercial customers across its footprint delivering relationship-driven service, accessible banking solutions, and financial solutions designed to meet the unique needs of each customer.

Woodforest selected Jack Henry for its modern, open approach to financial technology and ability to deliver a fully integrated, end-to-end platform. As the bank evaluated its long-term technology strategy, Woodforest sought a provider that could innovate, reduce reliance on custom-built infrastructure, and provide a scalable foundation for continued growth.

"As we continue to grow and evolve, we sought a technology partner that reflects our deep commitment to the communities we serve and our relationship-driven, customer-first culture," said Robert E.

It is a forward-looking company, and we're confident it will help us operate more efficiently, strengthen our digital capabilities, and deliver the experiences our customers expect."

In addition to core services, Woodforest was particularly drawn to Jack Henry's digital banking, treasury management, and open architecture and broad ecosystem of integrations that will allow the bank to connect third-party solutions more easily while improving operational efficiency.

"Winning a new client like Woodforest National Bank reflects the strength of our modern technology and our role in the next era of banking," said Jack Henry President and CEO Greg Adelson. "We are committed to serving banks and credit unions of all sizes, and we're seeing increasing interest from larger financial institutions that want a more modern, flexible technology foundation.
