$3.3B firm signs on with Jack Henry

Jack Henry & Associates Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY)’s shares traded near a 52-week high this morning as the company announced the signing of a client with $3.3 billion in assets.

Omaha, Nebraska-based American National Bank selected Jack Henry Banking’s SilverLake system for processing services. The company with 550 employees in Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota chose the Jack Henry system to replace its 37-year core provider, according to a news release.

Monett-based Jack Henry’s client base includes more than 1,100 banks, according to the release.
