thirdstream’s platform to power seamless digital acquisition for Servus member-owners
EDMONTON, ALBERTA / FEBRUARY 1, 2017 /
Servus Credit Union, Alberta’s largest credit union, is pleased to announce that it has selected thirdstream, a leading fintech company headquartered in Lethbridge, Alberta, as its partner to launch end-to-end digital membership and account opening. The partnership between these two well-established players in Alberta’s financial services market will make it possible for people across the province to join or open a new account with Servus completely online from anywhere, with full security and 100% compliance to all banking regulations.
“It’s exciting to have thirdstream’s knowledge and experience right here in Alberta,” says Gail Stepanik-Keber, Chief Brand, Digital Banking and Corporate Social Responsibility Office for Servus Credit Union.”We know our member-owners appreciate us investing in Alberta companies first, whenever we can. thirdstream also happens to be a Servus Credit Union member, so we’re always excited to work with strong businesses that choose us as their financial institution.”
Servus’ digital membership and account opening platform will be powered by cumulus, an omni-channel solution developed by thirdstream. Highly regarded for its fast, user-friendly interface, cumulus is totally paperless with e-signatures and account funding via Online Money Transfers. The brand-agnostic platform will be configured to Servus’ corporate guidelines and product/feature sets, giving member-owners a user experience that flows seamlessly with the credit union’s well-established brand.
