Finovifi, a provider of AI-driven fraud prevention, compliance technology, and core processing solutions for community financial institutions, announced the acquisition of Turner Software Technologies, Inc., developer of the Teller21 teller automation platform. The acquisition brings more than 50 community bank clients into the Finovifi ecosystem and advances the company's strategy to embed real-time fraud detection directly into teller operations.

Turner Software founder and president Jerry Turner will join Finovifi as Senior Vice President of Engineering, partnering with Finovifi CTO Terry Ray to lead product development and platform innovation.

"Integrating Teller21 with Finovifi's fraud and compliance technologies creates something truly powerful," said Turner. "FrontLine Sentry will give community banks real-time protection at the exact moment it matters most — at the teller line."

Teller21 has long been integrated with the MBS by Finovifi core platform, supporting streamlined teller workflows and transaction processing. Following the acquisition, Finovifi will further enhance that integration by embedding its flagship check fraud detection engine, FraudSentry, directly into the teller workflow.

By delivering fraud intelligence at the point of transaction, Finovifi transforms the teller line into an active fraud prevention checkpoint rather than a passive processing function.

Finovifi President Russell Taylor noted, "By uniting Teller21 with real-time fraud intelligence, we're giving banks a defense system that operates where fraud happens — at the front line."
