CU*Answers, the 100% credit union-owned cooperative data processing CUSO, reminds credit unions of the importance of connecting to members wherever they are through online, mobile, and text banking.

Julie Gessner, Sales Administrator at CU*Answers, says members appreciate the convenience and familiarity of the It’s Me 247 Mobile Text Banking program offered by CU*Answers. Enrolled members can send and receive two-way texts on the available balance of their accounts at any time. They can also select to have e-Alerts, such as balance alerts, sent to their mobile devices in the form on a text message, giving them timely feedback when their available funds drop below a desired level. Credit unions enjoy full control of turning on text banking including the initial set-up, transaction monitoring and fee structures. Credit unions utilizing the CU*BASE^® core platform enjoy the marketing and self-assessment tools that measure whether their text banking penetration goals are ahead of schedule.
