FPS GOLD Core Banking Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

Our f/I has used FPS as our core for 24+ years. I can say I have been with our f/I 21 years and been through a few versions of CIM. CIM GOLD is by far the best version produced! I feel it is user friendly and you can find information easily and multiple ways. The enhanced interface and tiles are two of my favorite features. Speed keys on the CIM side make routine searches even easier as they take you right to the place you need to go without having to start somewhere else. There is a ton of functionality and we are always learning to use new features or look at new reports. We have also helped FPS to develop and test features and products as well.

There are not many cons from my perspective. As the Operations Manager, I use CIM extensively for deposit accounts and information related to our clients. I have very limited knowledge of the loan side. The biggest frustration we have had recently is losing internet service and CIM hiccups - for lack of a better explanation- [especially a technical one I can't even begin to give :) ] when CIM hiccups, it closes out and you have to reopen. This is not the end of the world by any means but is frustrating and for us, this is just part of the rural community we support.

The ease of customization FPS allows is great! It allows the bank to have a say on how the software should perform to maximize the banks efforts within the market it operates in. The change from Fiserv to FPS was a great move because of all the added functionality and the client support we receive from staff and our account manager. Our account manager advocates for our needs and is responsive to our requests.

There are still improvements that can be made. Our bank is more commercial focus than retail customers. Adding functionality to compete against larger banks is warranted.

FPS Gold as a core processor offers a lot of great features, especially compared to legacy processors. The customer support team is very knowledgeable and helpful.

Though this product is very feature rich, many times it is very difficult to find the information I am looking for as information is split between a lot of different screens. I also feel like the teller interface is difficult to use and should be updated.

The best part of the system is ease of use. The tabs and search feature makes it easy to find information needed but there are a lot of tabs that may be eliminated if the fields were combined within other tabs

There is a lot of navigation required to retrieve information which could be found in one area. The system could communicate better within itself to eliminate duplicate file maintenance requirements. Help screens and online banking (activity logs) should be updated for ease of use.
