What Is CU Connect?
One important ingredient to the success of any credit union is the ability to find and partner with suppliers that have the products and services that deliver the best value to the credit union. By acting as an intermediary with a wide variety of suppliers and vetting their many offerings, the Association is able to create buying power for credit unions, helping them connect with suppliers offering the best value, products and services.
The credit union system is continually deploying new financial products and delivery channels to make it possible for consumers to get the products they need when they need them and when they want them. The Association is committed to helping credit unions stay on the cutting edge of this revolution by analyzing the demands of the market and seeking ways by which credit unions can work cooperatively through the Association to fashion effective and efficient solutions.
New England Credit Union Services, LLC. (NECUS) is seeking businesses that bring effective services and timely products to its membership to join its CU Connect program. CU Connect provides an opportunity for both vendors and credit unions to work cooperatively to help each other thrive.
