100% credit union-owned, core data processing CUSO, CU*Answers, has announced the signing of Western Illinois Credit Union to a CU*BASE^® core processing agreement.

Darin Higgins, CEO said, “WICU was looking for a software provider that allowed our small credit union to compete with the bigger banks. CU*Answers offers more options at a better price. CU*Answers is the most practical, user-friendly system and follows the same rules as all credit unions. The multiple functions on the CU*Answers program will allow us to grow and compete for years to come.”

Scott Page, CU*Answers EVP added that CU*Answers’ commitment to work with credit unions of any size, without the need to charge for modules, and a historically proven commitment to lower data processing costs over time is a differentiator in creating a technology partner rather than a traditional vendor-client relationship.
