A team from $45 million Lafayette, La-based University of Louisiana Federal Credit Union won KnockOut 2016 with an instant online loan-decisioning and funding app to simplify the credit union lending process.

Team Cajun Power provided the winning idea in this 24-hour collaboration event hosted by St. Petersburg, Fla.-based payments CUSO PSCU with a goal of helping solve a problem in the payments industry that will allow credit unions to serve their members better.

According to Team Cajun Power, instant loan-decisioning and funding addresses a need from the credit unions and member perspective. It allows credit unions to change the landscape of traditional and online lending by competing real-time for loans, growing their loan portfolio, and increasing income. Members benefit from saving money and time when credit unions can provide them with on-demand funds, 24/7.
