Columbus, OH (May 28, 2025) |
Corporate One Federal Credit Union announced a significant milestone today: 100 go-lives on the RTP® network or FedNow® Service through its Immediate Payments Third-Party Service Provider (TPSP) solution. This achievement includes 84 member credit unions connected to the RTP network and 16 connected to the FedNow Service.
"Our mission is to ensure credit unions of all sizes can access immediate payments, and we’re proud that the first 100 go-lives live up to this promise, connecting credit unions from $23 million to $18 billion,” President and CEO Melissa Ashley said. “We've eliminated traditional barriers to entry, creating a pathway for credit unions to compete effectively in today's digital-first financial landscape. We aim to make immediate payments as ubiquitous as ACH—expected, effortless, and essential.”
Corporate One officially surpassed 1 million accepted transactions via the RTP network on April 12 and serves approximately 26% of all credit unions connected to the RTP network. The momentum continues to build, with more than 25 additional credit unions, including Suncoast Credit Union, an $18 billion credit union in Tampa Bay, Florida, scheduled to go live in the coming months.
Celebrating the 100th Go-Live
The 100th go-live was Educators Credit Union, a $3.3 billion credit union in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, which successfully connected to the FedNow Service on May 15. The credit union connected to the RTP network through Corporate One on March 4.
“Corporate One has been a wonderful strategic partner in helping us bring immediate payments to life for our members,” said President and CEO Linda Hoover. “Corporate One’s TPSP solution empowers us to deliver on our promise to provide fast, secure, and reliable financial solutions that reflect the pace of our members’ lives.”
Immediate Payments Available to Credit Unions of All Sizes
Corporate One is a trusted partner for both major payment rails, serving as a certified TPSP on the RTP network and a service provider for the FedNow Service. Corporate One currently supports credit unions of all asset sizes—from $23 million to $18 billion. This broad reach highlights Corporate One’s deep expertise, strong strategic partnerships, and efficient implementation model. This market presence stems from the corporate’s ability to deliver turnkey, 45-60 day implementations across nine core processors, including Fiserv, CU*Answers, Corelation, and Jack Henry.
In the first quarter of 2025, Corporate One successfully connected one of the top 10 largest credit unions to the RTP network and FedNow Service. Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union, based in San Antonio, Texas, with $18.5 billion in assets and 1.2 million members, is using Corporate One’s TPSP service along with its full suite of immediate payment solutions that includes settlement and cash management for both rails.
“At Randolph-Brooks, providing quick, secure, and convenient financial experiences for our members is paramount," said President and CEO Mark Sekula. “Immediate payments play a vital role in that vision, and Corporate One offered the perfect path forward. Their extensive expertise and robust partnerships enabled us to seamlessly connect to both the
RTP network and the FedNow Service, allowing us to confidently and swiftly meet our members' expectations."
Over half of the credit unions connected to immediate payment rails through Corporate One have assets exceeding $192 million.
Firelands Federal Credit Union, a $500 million credit union headquartered in Bellevue, Ohio, was connected to the FedNow Service through Corporate One in December 2024 after going live on the RTP network in September 2023.
“The implementation process was incredibly smooth and easy. After our weekly meetings, we had little to no questions, as the information and expectations we were given were very clear and communicated well,” Controller Farrah Wynbissinger said. “We never felt like we were on our own and were encouraged to reach out with any questions. That was an aspect that I loved. We truly enjoyed working with Corporate One.”
Built for Flexibility and Innovation
Corporate One connects credit unions to both immediate payment rails using its open payment platform, which enables credit unions to send and receive immediate payments without restrictions on message types or integration capabilities. This flexibility allows each institution to develop a customized immediate payments strategy tailored to its unique
membership needs.
"The most exciting aspect of reaching this milestone is witnessing how credit unions transform immediate payments into extraordinary member experiences," said Christine Mayes, EVP & Chief Member Engagement Officer. “We provide the connection, but it’s the credit unions delivering the value—enhancing relationships, increasing member engagement, and staying competitive.”
Corporate One continues to announce all credit unions connected to the immediate payment rails on the Corporate One LinkedIn page.
