The Best Core For Your Credit Union

How to find the best vendor to fit your credit union’s needs.

The right core processor is essential to the stability and success of a credit union. When deciding whether to renew or switch providers, there are many factors including client performance, provider performance, and gain in market share a credit union must consider. And just as there are many factors to weigh, there are many providers from which to choose.

The Supplier Market Share Guide: Credit Union Core Processors by Callahan & Associates provides an aggregate overview of providers along with minimum, average, and maximum financial performance metrics for credit unions and core providers alike.

So, how does a credit union choose the right core for its needs? These three steps offer a good start:

  • Analyze core processors that have clients similar to your credit union; check for gains made in relevant performance categories.
  • Reach out to peers using a core in which you are interested to solicit an unbiased testimonial of the user experience.
  • Develop core conversion guidelines, vendor management policies, and vendor risk-rating worksheets to make a smart decision and ensure a smooth transition.
