Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services technology solutions, and ZA Bank, the first virtual bank to launch a pilot trial in Hong Kong, today announced that the bank is leveraging technology from Fiserv to enable a transformative banking experience for its customers.

With its “Community-Driven” approach, ZA Bank has prioritized the rapid launch of innovative capabilities that align with customers’ changing lifestyles.
