TechSolutions4CUs

Reseda Group is a wholly owned fintech investment CUSO of Michigan State Federal Credit Union. Reseda only invests in companies/products that are or will be deployed at the credit union. As such, companies that receive a Reseda investment get much more than money; they get the assurance that their solutions will be rigorously tested and implemented in a large, technologically sophisticated credit union.

In this episode of TechSolutions4CUs, Iceman and Maxim explain to host John San Filippo how the credit union, the CUSO and the fintechs work closely together for the betterment of the entire credit union industry.

It's not every episode that TechSolutions4CUs gets to chat with someone from a community bank. However, our guest for this episode, Kim Capps of Southern Bank, is so excited about digital banking her her bank's online provider, Apiture, that she was happy to share her insights with our credit union listeners. Kim provides some tips and tricks for business banking, discusses digital banking in general and reveals what it's like to work with the ideal technology partner. If your credit union is beginning to expand its business banking services, don't miss this episode.

The decision to subject your credit union to a core conversion is never an easy one. But sometimes that decision is made for you -- for example, when your core provider announces that the platform you're on is being sunsetted. It may be easier to just migrate to another core from the same provider. However, easier doesn't necessarily mean better. No matter what, your credit union will have to endure a conversion. So what better time to carefully consider all your options?

Such was the case with WESTconsin Credit Union. After extensive due diligence, the $2 billion credit union made the switch to Corelation's KeyStone platform. In this episode of TechSolutions4CUs, host John San Filippo talks with WESTconsin Credit Union CIO Kevin Hall about that decision, that conversion and all the benefits the credit union has realized since.
