Jim Hanisch Announces Retirement From CO-OP Financial Services
Hanisch is president, CO-OP Network, responsible for the CO-OP ATM and CO-OP Shared Branch networks.
After nearly two decades with CO-OP Financial Services, Jim Hanisch, president, CO-OP Network, announced his retirement on Monday.
Hanisch began his career at the Rancho Cucamonga, Calif.-based organization 19 years ago. According to CO-OP Financial Services President/CEO Todd Clark, “Jim is the longest serving member of our Executive Management Team, and I am the third CEO he has reported to during that time.”
Hanisch was named president, CO-OP Network in April 2018, and has been responsible for the CO-OP ATM and CO-OP Shared Branch networks.
According to a statement from CO-OP Financial Services, Hanisch’s career with CO-OP began in 2000, but he has been involved with credit unions since the late 1970s and CO-OP since 1986. Hanisch led product development for the Connex platform while at Deluxe Data Systems (now FIS).
In 2008, Hanisch was promoted from SVP to chief information officer/EVP of corporate development. At the time, former CO-OP Financial Services President/CEO Bob Rose said, “Jim, a technology and product management specialist, has made invaluable contributions to a number of projects, such as helping to create and launch our intranet/extranet venture.”
“During his tenure with CO-OP we have grown substantially – in 2001, we processed a grand total of 477.4 million payments transactions. In 2019, we processed 7.6 billion transactions. Quite an achievement,” Clark said in a statement.
Clark continued, “I am grateful for his partnership, thoughtful counsel and friendship over the nearly four years we have worked together so closely here at CO-OP. I congratulate Jim on the great legacy that is his career, and I hope the entire credit union movement will join me in wishing him well in retirement.”
Hanisch will remain in this position until June 2. No replacement has been announced.
