Founded in 2004, PSCU’s Advisors Plus offers consulting services for credit unions to help fuel growth and achieve financial and business goals.
“As consumer preferences rapidly evolve, financial institutions are facing a massive transformation in payments, as well as the technology and services required to support their accountholders,” said Scott Wagner, EVP, chief revenue officer at PSCU. “As PSCU continues to have remarkable success in the markets in which we operate, our teams must grow and adapt to these changing needs to propel our forward momentum. In line with this, it is with great pleasure that we announce Chris’ and Yvonne’s well-earned promotions.

Gunnare joined PSCU in May 2017 as senior vice president of Member Experience, bringing more than 30 years of expertise in the credit union and payments industry. For more than four years, he has helped drive success across the Membership Development team, focusing on leading, assisting and coaching new business sales, existing client partnerships and renewals.
