What’s in a name: Director of Core Services

Diann Hollen-Stansbury keeps processes and technology flowing at BluCurrent Credit Union.

BluCurrent Credit Union ($265.5M, Springfield, MO) has been on the same core processing platform since the turn of the century, but little else has remained the same thanks to Diann Hollen-Stansbury.

It’s not typical for a credit union of that size, or any size, to have someone specifically in that role given this age of plug-and-play commoditization, but Hollen-Stansbury’s work speaks to the critical role the core plays as the operational hub in today’s credit union.
