The $416 million Grand Blanc, Mich.-based Security Credit Union launched Livonia, Mich.-based CUSO CU Solutions Group's LifeSteps Wallet, a mobile enhancement suite designed to position CUs on top of member minds.
Branded for Security Credit Union and immediately available on iOS and Android platforms, the fully integrated LifeSteps Wallet enhances the credit union's mobile bank offerings while matching important solutions with members' major life events and everyday financial decisions.
According to CUSG – which offers products and services in the areas of technology, marketing and performance – Security Credit Union's new LifeSteps Wallet app's features and functionality now include:
- Credit union services. Access mobile banking, send and receive money, view latest interest rates, apply for loans, find nearby ATMs, chat with a credit union representative.
- Shopping. Discover nearby merchants and exclusive deals, access national brand discounts, securely store receipts and loyalty cards, book travel at considerable savings.
- Auto: Research, build, price and finance new and used vehicles, store maintenance records, get on-demand roadside assistance.
- Home: Search for-sale and rental listings, discover property values, find trusted contractors, track repair invoices, get design inspiration.
- Financial Wellness: Uncover identity theft risk, monitor credit score, gain access to discounted legal resources.
“Everything in this app is customized by the credit union, for its members, with the goal of promoting how the credit union helps members with many of life's big shopping and maintenance decisions,” Dave Adams, president and CEO of CU Solutions Group said. “When a member researches a merchant or accesses a deal, the credit union credit card is top of mind in this expanded mobile banking app, when they browse homes and vehicles, credit union financing and insurance are a single tap away.”
“We are pleased to have partnered with CU Solutions Group to provide our members with the smart technology within LifeSteps Wallet to give more simplicity and convenience in their lives,” Christopher Estes, president and CEO of Security Credit Union said. “We are dedicated to delivering trusted products and services to our members. This app is a great way to have easy access to a wide variety of tools and credit union products and services.”
CUSG said its entire suite of LifeSteps Wallet mobile banking enhancements allows for a more affordable integration of features without disrupting the credit union's core mobile banking app. As such, Security's LifeSteps Wallet application integrates with CO-OP Mobile, Security Credit Union's current mobile banking provider, and is the first such integration of its kind, according to CUSG.
LifeSteps Wallet is designed to work with any mobile banking platform on the market, and CUSG plans to launch on several additional platforms during 2018. Moreover, if a credit union changes its mobile banking provider, this container of enhancement features remains as a consistent, recognizable mobile experience for members.
