"We are excited to offer an alternative payment to our customers and to be part of the growing SVP network," said Jim Gray, senior vice president and CIO, Renasant Bank. "Through this relationship we can now offer our customers a fast and easy way to make secure payments and manage their online transactions right from their bank account."

• For merchants and billers, SVP provides real-time authorization with guaranteed payment of ACH transactions at costs typically more cost-effective than existing solutions while lowering risk.
• For financial institutions, SVP provides an added measure of consumer protection, encourages the use of online banking and adds a new revenue stream while leveraging the bank's existing online banking infrastructure.
