The Problem
Your current core processor isn’t meeting your credit union’s needs, but switching providers is a complex, time-intensive process with long-term ramifications for your organization and your members. With every provider putting their best foot forward to earn your business, how do you determine which one is truly the best option?
The Solution
Knowledge is key and understanding how similar peers are tackling the same problem is imperative for a successful conversion. The included Market Share Guide will help you understand the marketplace and identify the core processors that cooperatives like yours are using and why. That will help ensure the platform you choose will be the right solution to ultimately help you thrive.
