Consumer Payment Services for Credit Unions & their Members




 

Tackling payment & money transfer inefficiencies

 

In order to stay competitive in the financial services market, credit unions have historically partnered with banks in an attempt to offer a wide range of financial services to their members.

 

However, over time this approach has proven to be counter-productive due to high operational costs to the credit union, resulting in expensive financial service product pricing to members.

 

Today, credit unions continue to face numerous challenges in the marketplace, when it comes to delivering existing and new financial services:

 

  • Payments: Credit unions do not have a readily available global payment network they can plug into to offer low-cost global money transfer services.

 

  • Costs: Credit unions are often limited to offering payment transfer solutions that have high operational and financial costs due to the necessity of in-branch manual processing

 

  • Services: Credit unions are often limited in the range of services they can offer their members due to lack of domestic or global bank partnerships.

hyperWALLET & Credit Unions

 

Experience you can count on

 

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.
