MADISON, Wis., and McLean, Va. (September 14, 2017) – CUNA Strategic Services announced a new strategic alliance with CU RateReset. CU RateReset provides credit unions with a simple and easy solution to retain existing loans and generate more loans while giving their members more power over products.

“CUNA Strategic Services is demonstrating our confidence in CU RateReset and the value its services can provide to credit unions by adding them to our line-up of trusted providers as well as establishing an ownership interest in CU RateReset,” says Eric Gelly, President of CUNA Strategic Services. “We are looking forward to bringing our credit unions solutions that will create an engaging member experience, improve operational efficiencies and increase revenue streams while retaining existing loans and broadening relationships with members. Collaborations like ours with CU RateReset are critical to assisting credit unions in their digital transformation.”

CU RateReset’s three primary solution programs are:

Reset – for Auto, Mortgage, Credit Cards, CDs, and Personal Loans:
CU RateReset enables members to reset existing financial products they have with a credit union without the cost and hassle of refinancing. Credit unions select members for inclusion in the program based on their own internal requirements while CU RateReset automates the member outreach, reset and the closing documentation. CU RateReset also automates loan and CD retention so member advocates can focus on expanding existing and developing new member relationships.

LoanGEN – for Loan Acquisition and Recapture:
This service allows credit unions to re-capture member mortgages, auto loans, personal loans and credit cards at other financial institutions as well as showcase products to attract new members. Members can design their custom auto payment and move their existing loans over to your credit union.

Digital Pre-Approval - for Credit Card, Auto Recapture, Home Equity Loans and new CD’s:
Credit unions can select members to receive pre-approved offers. CU RateReset creates a personal URL and it is then placed into an email, traditional mail, social media or text message.

“The current process for loan acquisition and retention is extremely inefficient and, in the case of loan retention, can be nonexistent, and presents a significant business opportunity,” said Joe Brancucci, President of CU RateReset. “CUNA Strategic Services recognizes this opportunity and we are delighted to work together to leverage our strengths and bring greater innovation to the marketplace. This is a very positive development for our organizations and the credit union movement.”
