We enable credit union partnerships with early-stage fintech startups.
Emerging fintechs tailor their product development to address your distinct requirements, challenges, and constraints from the very beginning. That's the point of working with an early-stage fintech on a pilot product—and a huge advantage for credit unions. Instead of attempting to modify an existing product to fit your specifications, they prioritize creating a solution that's truly designed for your needs.
As one of the first customers of a fintech startup, you can expect a substantial amount of dedicated support. It's way better than letting the big banks get all of their attention.
A fintech startup can provide you with a unique opportunity to receive personalized, dedicated support, shape the development of their offerings, and gain a competitive advantage. It's a win-win scenario where you can benefit from the fintech's attention, and the fintech can benefit from your feedback and support as they grow and refine their products and services.
The South Central region including Austin, Houston, and New Orleans, is rapidly growing with diverse industry strengths. Austin’s Q2 Holdings and Brigit lead in digital banking and personal finance, while Houston’s HighRadius and Axos Bank focus on automation and online services. In New Orleans, Levelset and Lucid bring innovation to construction finance and consumer insights. This regional fintech ecosystem combines technological innovation and collaboration to meet the unique needs of industries like banking and construction, making it a key player in the fintech landscape.
Why should credit unions be left out? Join us and leverage the tech ecosystem in your own backyard!
