ST. PETERSBURG, FL (October 10, 2023) — PSCU, the nation’s premier payments credit union service organization (CUSO) and an integrated financial technology solutions provider, today announced that United Community Credit Union (United Community) has selected the CUSO to provide debit and credit card processing services and support.
Established in 1950, United Community was founded to serve the financial needs of Texas’ Galena Park Independent School District employees. Today, United Community holds more than $126 million in assets and works to empower its over 12,500 members and East Houston residents by creating financial success through service to its community.
The credit union undertook a thorough, comprehensive review and evaluation process to identify a partner for card processing services. United Community sought an organization with a proven track record of reliability and security that was also committed to fostering a collaborative relationship. Technological innovation, adaptability and flexibility were crucial criteria for United Community in choosing a partner capable of evolving with the changing financial landscape and customizing solutions to fit its needs. In addition, the credit union was looking for an organization that would provide excellent member service with a deep understanding of the unique needs of credit unions. United Community found its ideal fit in PSCU.
