Connect Financial Software Solutions and Digital Onboarding, Inc. Join Forces to Help Credit Unions Deepen Member Engagement
Sandy, UT, December 6, 2021 – Connect Financial Software Solutions (Connect), a CUSO providing advanced enterprise digital banking services to credit unions, announced that it has entered into a partnership agreement with Digital Onboarding, Inc., a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company that helps credit union members adopt account-related services and additional products.
With Connect’s ,Emerge platform, credit unions can provide a complete digital banking experience where digital banking users can enroll 24x7, create new accounts, apply for loans, pay bills, transfer funds, send money, make deposits and control cards.
The Digital Onboarding engagement platform makes it easy for members to adopt the digital banking services offered by Connect. The platform’s digital, self-service tools simplify onboarding tasks like switching direct deposit in real-time, updating default payment methods at places like Amazon® and Venmo®, enrolling in eStatements, and more.
“Working with Connect and Digital Onboarding gives our members a simple and easy way to open an account, and it empowers them to take control of their finances,” said Steve O’Donnell, Executive Vice President and CFO, One Nevada Credit Union. “Our relationship with Connect and Digital Onboarding also gives our existing members an exciting new way to access the different products and services we offer digitally 24/7.”
The Digital Banking Report found that industry wide first-year attrition rates for new members are upwards of 40 percent, owing in large part to inadequate and antiquated onboarding processes. Each lost customer or member results in a loss of at least $400. Financial institutions must empower new account openers with easy access to enroll into account-related services in the first 60 days to solidify those relationships.
“In partnership with Digital Onboarding, we can further enhance the overall value of the Emerge platform by eliminating friction and making it simple for members to open accounts and maximize the use of services that are available to them,” said Grant Parry, CEO, Connect Financial Software Solutions. “Both companies are committed to helping credit unions succeed by delivering world-class digital experiences that captivate members. We are thrilled to partner with a team that shares our mission.”
“Credit unions will not win the war simply by offering frictionless account opening and digital banking experiences,” said Ted Brown, Co-founder and CEO, Digital Onboarding, Inc. “Institutions that invest in making it incredibly simple for new account openers to start using their new accounts will win the battle for engaged relationships. We are proud to join forces with Connect to help credit unions better compete and thrive.”
