CO-OP Financial Services in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. said Monday that Jim Hanisch was named president of CO-OP Network.

“At CO-OP we are applying the idea of continuous improvement across the enterprise and nowhere is that more important than within our ATM network and shared branching operations,” said President/CEO of CO-OP Financial Services Todd Clark. “One of Jim's many contributions to CO-OP's expansion over the years was playing an integral part in the company growing from a California ATM network to a nationwide payments and technology leader. As we continue to invest in our CO-OP ATM network and to grow CO-OP Shared Branch, Jim is the absolute best person to lead this effort on behalf of CO-OP.”

Clark noted Hanisch's appointment comes as CO-OP integrates its legacy networks into its digital business to create an omnichannel network that will meet the demands of increasingly digital-only consumers.

Hanisch joined CO-OP in 2000 and has served as its chief operating officer since April 2017.  He is a board member of the Electronic Funds Transfer Association and has served as its board chair.  He also was a member of the Federal Reserve Faster Payments Task Force.

CO-OP manages 30,000 ATMs, the largest credit union-owned ATM national network and more than 5,700 shared-branch locations throughout the U.S.
