Jack Henry & Associates Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY) has landed multimillion-dollar clients in Florida and Tennessee.

Tampa, Fla.-based NorthStar Bank, a company with roughly $192 million in assets, and $284 million Athens Federal Community Bank, based in Athens, Tenn., have signed on to install the Monett technology company's automation software, according to an Oct. 29 news release from Jack Henry.
