Fiserv,
Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), a leading global provider of financial services
technology solutions, announced today that Carpathia Credit Union, based
in Winnipeg, Manitoba, along with Estonian Credit Union and PARAMA
Credit Union, both based in Toronto, have selected Fiserv to help
modernize their operations and enable them to serve members more
effectively in an increasingly digital banking environment.
All three credit unions have deep roots in their communities and were
seeking a contemporary technology platform to automate and streamline
operations, simplify the creation of new products, and activate a full
range of integrated digital services for their members. In addition to
advanced technology, the credit unions wanted a provider with a strong
commitment to and presence in Canada.
The credit unions’ transition to their new banking system will be led by
Canadian financial technology provider Celero.
Celero has significant experience helping Canadian credit unions
implement Fiserv solutions, and together the companies are facilitating
the digital transformation of credit unions across Canada.
Carpathia Credit Union, Estonian Credit Union and PARAMA Credit Union
each selected the DNA® core account processing platform from
Fiserv. DNA is used by more than 100 credit unions in Canada – including
60 of the top 100 credit unions based on assets – serving more than 1.2
million members. This broad adoption enables productive collaboration
and sharing of ideas among credit unions and their staff who are
familiar with the modern technologies in DNA.
“It was important for us to have a platform that would allow us to think
big and to follow through on new opportunities and never question
whether our banking system could handle it,” said Nick Rawluk, CEO,
Carpathia Credit Union. “We selected Fiserv because of the people, the
company’s positive reputation and presence in Canada, and the proven
track record of continuous investment in DNA.”
