VANCOUVER, BC (May 17, 2017) — Central 1 Credit Union (Central 1) is pleased to announce that Crosstown Civic Credit Union, based in Winnipeg, is migrating to the MemberDirect® platform.
Central 1’s digital banking platform will provide a range of self-service and mobile features to meet the changing needs of Crosstown Civic Credit Union’s 31,000 members. MemberDirect® is Canada’s premier outsourced direct banking solution, used by over 240 credit unions and other financial institutions.
