Helping members manage their money with personal financial management tools is a win-win move for credit unions and members. Add a mobile alert feature that keeps members on top of their spending 24/7, and they may be even more likely to improve their habits.
That's the premise of Vancouver, British Columbia-based software company Pennyminder's Cashbook, a personal financial management tool that interfaces with credit unions' core banking systems and sends alerts to members' mobile devices, keeping them informed of where their budgets stand at all times.
So far, one credit union, Mount Lehman Credit Union in Mount Lehman, British Columbia, has implemented Cashbook. Pennyminder is in talks with several other British Columbia-based credit unions to get the tool off the ground, according to Pennyminder Founder Vince Hodges.
