Technology CUSO CU*SOUTH of Fairhope, Ala., said Thursday it merged with Integrative Financial Services (IFS) in Arlington, Wash.
Bob West, CEO of CU*SOUTH, said IFS expands the CUSO’s capabilities in offering enhanced financial solutions to credit unions.
IFS delivers a combination of organizational, strategic and operational services to support credit union growth initiatives.
Rebecca Schmidt, who established IFS in April 2019, has joined CU*SOUTH as its CFO.
Before IFS, Schmidt served as president/CEO of the $90.3 million Waterfront Federal Credit Union in Seattle for more than eight years. She also worked as director of finance for the $379 million North Coast Credit Union in Bellingham for nearly nine years, according to Schmidt’s LinkedIn page.
“IFS was built on the belief that strong financial strategies come from truly understanding the needs of credit unions,” Schmidt said in a prepared statement. “By joining CU*SOUTH, we have an incredible opportunity to expand our reach and provide credit unions with the tools and expertise they need to thrive. I’m excited to step into the role of CFO and collaborate with CU*SOUTH’s talented team to drive meaningful results for our clients.”
The CUSO currently serves more than 362 credit unions across 42 states.
