Upgrades to Digital Banking

Cedar Point Federal Credit Union has got exciting updates coming to digital banking! Our journey to update our digital banking started in May of 2021 when we partnered with Q2, based in Austin, TX. Q2 has helped us design a digital banking system that will provide our members with a user-friendly digital experience and tools to help them take charge of their finances.

In our new platform, members will still be able to use many tools like Bill Pay and Credit Score Check. There will also be new tools and features. You’ll be able to see all your accounts under one profile and see your pending transactions. Digital banking will have a new personal financial management tool that can help members see their spending, cash flow, net worth, debts, and trends and help them create budgets and goals. Members can even link accounts outside of Cedar Point to track all their financial habits in one place and create a more complete picture of their finances.

Members will also be able to utilize ClickSwitch and CardSwap ™. ClickSwitch allows users to switch automated payments and direct deposits from one place. CardSwap ™ will enable users to change how they charge subscription services quickly without having to log in to each separate subscription.

Remember to re-enroll in Digital Banking after our Technology Upgrade to see the new features. Look for us in the AppStore or Google Play on February 6, 2024!

Announcing Two Exciting New Partnerships

Cedar Point Federal Credit Union® began a journey in May of 2021 to seek out future-focused technology leaders to help us bring our members and employees the banking experiences they crave. We proudly announce that we have struck-up two brilliant partnerships to help us do just that.

We’ve partnered with San Diego-based Corelation to help us refine our internal systems, which will make a member’s day-to-day interactions with the credit union swifter and more seamless. We are excited to note that our work with Corelation will give us opportunities to offer more dynamic products and deepen our relationship with each member at an individual level. Chief Marketing Officer Kristin Kauffman said of the partnership, “This will help enhance our philosophy of treating each member as special, not just a number.”

Our second partnership is with Q2, based in Austin, TX. “Q2 will help us design the type of digital banking experience that members are familiar with at other financial institutions,” said Cedar Point CIO BJ Sievers. “We will be able to offer the most modern technology while maintaining the personal touch that Cedar Point is known for.” Q2’s platform will allow Cedar Point to seamlessly extend its unique member experience across multiple digital channels.

“One key benefit to using these two companies in tandem is that they have a proven track record of working well together,” said CEO Charles Roach. “We are excited to see this project reach its potential.” The credit union will hit its first significant milestone of this years-long roadmap in March of 2023 and expects these partnerships to deliver meaningful experiences for credit union members for years to come.
