CU*Answers and start-up credit union, Growing Oaks, joining forces
GRAND RAPIDS, MI (October 2, 2020) — CU*Answers, the Grand Rapids, Michigan-based cooperative CUSO, and Growing Oaks Credit Union, the Kansas City, Missouri-based start-up credit union, announced that their two cooperatives will be working together in preparation for the credit union’s launch December 2020 by deploying the CUSO’s CU*BASE® core data processing suite.
Scott Collins, EVP of National Sales and Marketplace Relationships at CU*Answers said: “We were proud that the team at Growing Oaks Credit Union chose us as their core data processing partner. Our commitment to de novo start-up efforts is a fundamental part of our business plan and something that our cooperative is very proud of.”
