A number of credit unions across the country recently announced core system conversions and renewals.
The $1.9 billion, Atlanta-based Georgia's Own Credit Union expanded its relationship with the Brookfield, Wis.-based Fiserv, Inc. by selecting its DNA core processing system. The credit union expects to gain a customizable, open architecture technology foundation that enables stronger integration of third-party solutions while supporting the development and launch of new products and services.
The Baton Rouge, La.-based, $541 million Campus Federal Credit Union selected the Plano, Texas-based Alkami Technology's ORB Platform to provide a digital banking experience to its approximately 42,000 members. The new platform is integrated to the credit union's Fiserv XP2 core banking system, and provides consumer and business members with an enhanced digital banking platform that extends across all devices.
The $1.6 billion, Lake Mary, Fla.-based CFE Federal Credit Union went live with the Episys in-house core processing system from the Monett, Mo.-based Symitar, a Jack Henry company. Episys' open architecture integrates with hundreds of vendor applications and offers credit unions the option of independently incorporating additional offerings.
The $56 million, Centennial, Colo.-based Columbine Federal Credit Union completed a conversion to CUProdigy's core software platform. The credit union also purchased ownership in the CUSO. Columbine FCU said it achieved its goal of implementing a core system with the features and functionality needed to grow and serve its membership, while ensuring that the conversion itself had minimal impact on operations.
The $3.8 billion, Phoenix-based Desert Schools Federal Credit Union said it successfully converted to the San Diego-based Corelation KeyStone's core processing system over Labor Day weekend. The credit union added it was eager to move from a core batch system to Corelation's real-time core to enhance the efficiency of its operations and member service. Some of those efficiencies included reducing the account opening process from 45 to five minutes, and creating automatic account retrieval via debit card swipes and emailed transaction receipts, which are helping the credit union reach its paperless goal.
The Circle Pines, Minn.-based Sharetec System welcomed the $57.7 million, Jesup, Ga.-based Altamaha Federal Credit Union as a new user of its core system. Sharetec provided the financial institution with electronic signatures and plans to launch mobile banking services in the future.
Also, the $14.5 million, Racine, Wis.-based Municipal Employees Credit Union selected Sharetec System for its new core system in order to offer live EFT processing, a user-friendly mobile app for its members and integrated experience for its staff. The credit union anticipated the core services combined with several other tools will enable it to realize a return on investment.
