Portland, Ore.-based OnPoint has announced it is the first credit union to offer iCashe Mobile Wallet, an innovative tool created by another Portland organization – technology developer Tyfone – that will let OnPoint mobile banking users purchase gift cards on their smartphones.
The largest credit union in Oregon, OnPoint has more than 226,000 members and assets of $2.9 billion. It has long been a leader in offering mobile banking to members and it partners with Tyfone in delivering those services. That history made the decision to embrace iCashe easy, said Jim Armstrong, an OnPoint senior vice president.
Down the road, OnPoint said it may expand the iCashe offering by drawing upon its ability to power NFC (Near Field Communication) tap-and-pay powers on a smartphone. "Initially the NFC component is what got us excited about iCashe," said Armstrong. "We see adding that at a later time."
