MINNEAPOLIS, MN (October 24, 2017) — OnApproach (www.onapproach.com), the leading provider of data/analytics solutions for credit unions, is excited to announce Centra Credit Union (Columbus, IN) is the latest to join the collaborative Credit Union Data Integration and Analytics Platform after signing an agreement to implement the OnApproach M360 Enterprise.

“At Centra Credit Union, ‘Centered Around You’ is our promise to our members. In order to build upon this promise and provide our members with the superior experiences they deserve, we realized the need for a member-centric view of our credit union. OnApproach M360 Enterprise empowers us to create a single, validated member record so we can better understand our members as individuals, and collectively. As Centra Credit Union continues to grow as an organization, data analytics enables us to personalize our interactions with members, and make confident, data-driven decisions for the future of the organization,” stated Carrie Jenkins, Director of Business Analytics, Centra Credit Union.

Centra Credit Union (asset size: $1.4 Billion, core processor: Fiserv – DNA) realized the need for an enterprise solution to integrate, validate, and take full advantage of ever-growing member data.
