California’s Edwards Federal Credit Union taps Apiture for consumer banking solution
Edwards Federal Credit Union has chosen digital banking solutions provider Apiture to enhance its digital banking capabilities.
Edwards FCU selects Apiture digital banking platform
The 62-year-old credit union has signed for the North Carolina-headquartered vendor’s digital banking platform to “deliver a modern, intuitive digital banking experience” for the approximately 12,500 members it currently services across California’s Antelope Valley region.
The deal specifically pertains to the platform’s consumer banking solution which, supporting both online and app-based banking, will expose Edwards FCU to features including peer-to-peer (P2P) and bill payments, credit score monitoring and budgeting tools, and fraud prevention measures, among others.
Alongside this, the credit union is also set to adopt the vendor’s data intelligence solution, with both selections to be integrated into its KeyStone core, which it has been using since instigating a partnership with San Diego-based Corelation in August 2020.
Carter Pope, president and CEO of Edwards FCU, says the new deal with Apiture forms part of its effort to “enable our members to bank with us when and how they want…whether they use our mobile app, log in online, walk into a branch, or call our contact centre”.
Accompanying this latest development, the credit union also announced last week that it had installed a MyCash loan option that enables its members to access capital through a relationship-based lending model.
For Apiture, the deal with Edwards FCU signals the continued momentum of its digital banking solutions, after Redwood Capital Bank, a community bank serving California’s Humboldt County, signed a similar deal with the vendor in January.
