The move signals a deepening alliance between one of the fintech industry's core infrastructure providers and the world's leading cloud and AI platforms.
The collaboration builds on an existing relationship between the two companies, now scaling AI-powered tools designed to detect threats, streamline compliance, and protect sensitive financial data across Jack Henry's broad network of community and mid-tier financial institution clients.
