Jack Henry and Jerry Hall started the company in Monett, Missouri in 1976, writing software for community banks that could not afford mainframe systems from the large vendors. That customer base still defines it: core processing, digital banking, and payments sold to banks and credit unions measured in hundreds of millions rather than hundreds of billions in assets. Growth has been steady rather than dramatic, funded by many small acquisitions, and the company is known for long client tenure and conservative balance sheet management.
