CU*Answers, the 100% credit union-owned cooperative CUSO, recently announced that it had begun a new Beta tester program offering financial rewards to credit unions interested in testing releases of the CU*BASE® core processing platform. For its upcoming 13.0 release, CU*Answers was pleased to announce that ten credit unions had volunteered to undertake the task; of the ten, four were chosen to participate.

CU*Answers indicated that the reward will vary by release, but that for the 13.0 release, participating credit unions will receive a $3,000 credit toward their next invoice. Credit unions will agree to attend early training, test as many new features as possible, and log details of any issues encountered.

A CUSO representative added, “We are thrilled with the response we received. This is an important piece to our software development and deployment, and we want our credit unions to benefit from their participation.”
