Assisting “Small Entity” Credit Unions Keep their Doors Open

FedComp accepts the challenge once again to keep “small entity” Credit Unions from being swallowed up by the big boys and ceasing to exist.

Fairfax, VA. (22 January 2016) – Three years ago on January 17, 2013 Credit Union Times carried a story entitled “FedComp Keeps Light on for Small Credit Union”.

And now, again FedComp is showing “small entity” credit unions how to “keep their doors open” by providing a cost efficient solution to entry to the mobile financial age with its visionary Mobility Suite of Solutions.


This set of suites, from entry to advance, allows credit unions to choose the type of member services they wish to offer; from the “Mobile Data Solution” entry suite to the full range of the services found in the “Mobile Business Solution” suite.

The first two entry Suites, “Mobile Data” and “Mobile Banking”, includes security features that are “Best-In-Class” and will stand with the billion dollar financial institutions. FedComp’s data security even meets the new FFIEC requirements (November 10, 2015), which some larger financial institutions have yet to deploy.

In the 4th quarter of 2015, FedComp completed moving all of its hosted credit unions to OGO’s Community Cloud Platform (a CUSO). This has enabled FedComp to offer the Mobile Data Solutions as a cost effective data storage system utilizing the advantages of a cloud platform. FedComp is able to provide its hosted clients a full range of security services, including:
  • State-of-the-art IT resources with end-to-end security
  • Offsite data security
  • Data redundancy
  • Anywhere any time 24/7 disaster recovery
  • NCUA compliance reporting
When a credit union is hosted with FedComp they no longer need to be concerned about onsite hardware security, contingency, or NCUA audits as FedComp can provide fully compliant reports for each individual credit union.

FedComp’s new Mobility Suite of Solutions is scalable, offsite, and is auditable. Each individual credit union data set is isolated specific, either logically or virtually, within the cloud platform and is locked down to meet SSAE 16, SOS 2, NCUA and other data security standards.

Another benefit given to credit unions when they are users of FedComp’s Mobility Suite of Solutions offered by MoadBus is the ability to offer a Mobile Banking app to their members equal to apps by large Wall Street banks. FedComp’s mobile banking app, is an integrated part of its core data system, not an add-on. FedComp is offering its credit union “World-Class” security in its Mobile Banking app. The app incorporate advanced user authentication, devise and transaction verification (one-time password (OTP), voice, facial recognition and finger print) and provides end-to-end security using multi-layer encryption.

As noted by FedComp’s CEO, Mr. Duff, in 2013 “FedComp can help credit unions stay on the cutting edge of technology”. The Mobility Suite of Solutions is the application of today’s cutting edge cloud-hosted mobile technology to assist “small entity” credit unions in meeting the challengers of survival in the current environment of greater and greater competition and regulations. The Mobility Suites of Solutions was designed to allow the credit unions to “pay-as-needed” for the features they desire. It is intended to assist the credit union’s CEO to better utilize their limited resources by assigning certain tasks to FedComp rather than handling them in-house. When a credit union is relieved of regulatory and back-office administrative tasks they can provide better service to their members resulting in market growth, creating new revenues.

Once again as it has for the last 30 years, FedComp is supporting its 750 plus clients and the “small entity” credit unions in general to keep their lights on and doors open.

Sunday Reading - Where Beatniks Come From

  Where Beatniks Come From       An introduction to the Beat Generation The Beat Generation   was an American literary movement that rose to prominence in the 1950s. A loosely affiliated collection of poets, novelists, playwrights, publishers, and other artists reacted to what they considered an anti-intellectual and homogeneous social order following World War II.   The writing of the Beat Generation used experimental forms, surreal imagery, and vernacular language, and emphasized the importance of " spontaneous prose " to mimic the improvisation of jazz. Although the Beats praised canonical poets like William Blake, Arthur Rimbaud, and Walt Whitman, much of their work sought to rebel against literary tradition.   The Beats' radical politics and nonconformity influenced several subsequent countercultural ...

Why First Responder Credit Unions Are Built to Adopt Blockchain Faster

  For years, blockchain in financial services lived mostly in the world of experimentation—proofs of concept, pilot programs, and innovation labs that rarely touched day-to-day operations. That era is ending. Today, blockchain adoption is moving from experimentation to scale. Across payments, capital markets, and banking infrastructure, financial institutions are beginning to operate on new rails—powered by tokenized money, programmable assets, and always-on settlement models. For credit unions serving first responders, this shift presents not just a technology opportunity, but a strategic one. Blockchain Is Becoming Core Infrastructure The most important change isn’t the technology itself—it’s how it’s being used. Blockchain is no longer about testing what might work. It’s increasingly being deployed as infrastructure to solve long-standing problems in financial services, including slow settlement, trapped liquidity, manual reconciliation, and limited operating hours. Cr...

As Expected, Fed Opts Not to Raise Rates--But Says It May in Future

WASHINGTON–As expected, the Federal Reserve has adjourned its meeting here without raising rates, but it also indicated it could again do so in the future. The decision means rates remain at a two-decade high. The adjournment without action marks the second consecutive meetings at which the Fed has not raised rates, it the longest period without an increase since it began to lift rates from near 0% in March 2022. In announcing it would maintain the Fed Funds rate at a range of 5.25% to 5.50%, the Fed said in a statement that recent indicators suggest economic activity expanded at a strong pace in the third quarter, job gains have moderated since earlier in the year but remain strong, and the unemployment rate has remained low. Inflation remains elevated. ...

James Hunter, Executive Director of Credit Union Development for New Orleans Firemen’s CU, knows too well how expensive it is to be poor.

  NEW ORLEANS FIREMEN’S FCU 􀀁 METAIRIE, L   A passion for empowerment James Hunter knows too well how expensive it is to be poor. It’s what he sees every day as mortgage director and executive director of credit union development for $182 million asset New Orleans Firemen’s Federal Credit Union, Metairie, La., and executive director of The Faith Fund, a nonprofit partnership that seeks to provide a financial hand-up to the undeserved. It’s what inspires him to come to work every day and drives his passion of empowering people and setting them on the path to financial security. “Too many people are too far away from the starting line,” Hunter says. “Payday loans are a big business in Louisiana. Exorbitant fees and interest from payday loans drain more than a quarter of a billion dollars a year. Baton Rouge supports one of the top three pay-day loan markets in the U.S.” The Faith Fund was formed to counteract that. It’s a unique cooperative relationship between like-minded busi...
