“More and more credit unions are opting for the agility and security of a cloud-based core platform,” said Starla Honea, VP of operations at CU*SOUTH. “They’re leaving the old legacy systems operated by the ‘Big-4’ banking software vendors and taking control of their future through ownership and collaboration with their peers.
“If you look at the Core Data Processing Guide published by Callahan,” added Honea, “you’ll see a total of 53 core vendors listed. Forty-six of those 53 lost market share and a couple held even. Only five core providers increased the number of credit unions served – and of those five, three offered the CU*BASE solution.”
Derrick Smith, COO of CU*South, said the CUSO offers its CU*Base platform to credit unions throughout the Southeastern U.S. He said the company is about more than selling software and is instead a “network of owners and collaborators.”
“It’s all about the members,” added Leo Vaulin, CEO of CU*SOUTH. “We see credit unions as the heroes in their members’ lives. If you use that as your guiding principle, it becomes easy to figure out how to structure our software and our organization to support credit unions in their mission. We invite credit unions to allow us to help them achieve their dreams, both through software tools and through the experience we’ve gained helping credit unions grow.”

See you in Seattle

Joint Advocacy Efforts to Save the Credit Union System

The National Council of Firefighter Credit Unions (NCOFCU ) participated in the DCUC advocacy meeting. It was decided that we would assist in the advocacy efforts to maintain the credit union tax exemption and ensure the future of NCUA.  WASHINGTON—America’s Credit Unions and the Defense Credit Union Council each held meetings Monday to discuss the state of the credit union system following the shake-up at NCUA. The two meetings, both held at 1 p.m. ET, approached the topic in very different ways.

The Defense Credit Union Council outlined action steps that need to be taken to make sure credit unions prosper in this period of uncertainty, with much of that centering on preserving credit unions’ tax-exempt status. America’s Credit Unions, during its Industry Update...
