For many years, hyperWALLET has been a trusted payment services provider to over 200+ credit unions across Canada through our partnership with Central 1 Credit Union. Central1 is an “umbrella organization”, representing a full-service retail financial system serving over 300 credit unions, 2.9 million members and holding $70 billion in assets.
As noted in our case study, in the year 2000 Central1 identified a need to provide customers with cost-effective money transfer services to other credit unions and financial institutions, from within their MemberDirect® online banking product. hyperWALLET provided an integrated and brandable payment solution that handles all transaction processing, settlement, risk management and authentication services, and provides ongoing dedicated customer support to members.
Through hyperWALLET, credit unions can compete with the five major banks in Canada from a product capability perspective, each under their respective brand. This partnership has also provided Central1 and credit union members with a cost-effective, feature-rich email money transfer service - both domestic and global.
