“We knew we needed to take a leap forward with regards to our core processor and technology in general when we decided to move forward with a conversion.

For our employees, the core system conversion created efficiencies in our organization which allows all of us to focus on helping our members financially. FLEX is a great partner that will support our growth and continued expectation of the latest technology for years to come.” – Scott Meyer, CEO at Connect Credit Union

“We chose FLEX because we needed a system that fully and seamlessly integrated the Operations, Loans, and Accounting functions of our credit union to enable our staff members to service our members more efficiently.  We also needed a better online banking solution and mobile application that offered more integration with our third party Visa cards and our mortgage servicing company. FLEX focuses on technology, which is extremely important with our younger generation members.” – Karen Introcaso, President & Chief Executive Officer at Kaiperm Credit Union

“As we planned for the future of our credit union, we realized that the time had come to conduct a thorough investigation of our core processing options. We looked for a solution that would meet the needs of our small credit union but more importantly, position us for growth opportunities into the future. We also wanted a core that offered a positive member experience through a home-banking product that provided the look and feel that our members and potential members alike would welcome. We chose FLEX as they allowed us to check all the boxes that were most important to us.

Additionally, FLEX has developers on staff which gave us confidence that they take seriously the need to constantly improve in a rapidly changing fintech environment.” – Darrell Rawlings, CEO at Health Care Professionals Federal Credit Union

“When we presented the FLEX system to our Board, after much discussion, the final question was ‘What’s the downside?’. There wasn’t one. Now, after conversion, there still isn’t one. FLEX’s feature-rich system definitely has met our member’s needs and wants.  Our staff loves the efficiencies gained since conversion. Win-Win!” – Thomas Gourdin, President/CEO at Firefighters Credit Union Thomas Gourdin Firefighters Credit Union
