MONETT, Mo., April 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: JKHY) announced today that Lea County State Bank selected Jack Henry to upgrade its technology platform with open, flexible and user-centric digital solutions.

Hobbs, N.M.-based Lea County State Bank has deep roots in the region's oil and gas industry, having served the community since 1928. The $600-million asset bank selected Jack Henry as its technology provider of choice to compete with large banks and non-traditional financial institutions while maintaining its strong community culture. Lea County State Bank will gain open access to a broad ecosystem of Jack Henry solutions such as the Banno Digital Platform™, as well as to more than 850 third-party fintechs to shape custom offerings for both its business and retail customers.

Disa Walker, vice-president at Lea County State Bank, said, "Our bank has a proven history of doing what is best to meet the current and future needs of our community. Today, the best way to support our customers is to offer them modern digital solutions that are backed by the very best customer support; Jack Henry is helping us enable that balance. For example, both our business and retail customers will have the same digital experience, removing friction, improving satisfaction, and ultimately helping us grow. Jack Henry brings an understanding and collaboration to the table that we haven't experienced with other key technology partners."
