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.
Get innovation from your own backyard.
The Western US is a thriving tech landscape. Giants such as Stripe, Square, and Robinhood in California, as well as up-and-coming fintech companies like Upgrade in Arizona and Galileo Financial Technologies in Utah drive advancements that often spill over into other sectors. Innovations from one sector frequently inspire others, such as the payment solutions and financial technologies that have revolutionized various industries.
Why should credit unions be left out? Join us and leverage the tech ecosystem in your own backyard!
Although we're focused on the West, we're also connected with early-stage fintech startups in other regions through our partner organizations such as the Cascadia Fintech Coalition, the Mid-Atlantic Fintech Coalition, and the Southeast Fintech Coalition. As such, we'll also bring the most promising fintech startups from those regions to you.
