CU*SOUTH, a CreditUnion Service Organization, has added a seasoned expert to help credit unions find better software solutions and streamline operational efficiencies – while avoiding the problems of working with banking software providers.

“CU*SOUTH wants to make it easy for credit unions to engage with our CUSO network to find solutions and continue to design better ways to serve members,” says CEO Leo Vaulin. “Adding Bob Flanagan to our Business Development team will help us to spread the word about our CU*BASE^® software and Managed Services we offer to credit unions – both large and small.”

Bob Flanagan is a familiar face to many credit unions in the Southeast US.  “Bob has worked with a number of software providers, including Fiserv, Harland/Ultradata, EPL, Fedcomp, and United Solutions,” says Mr. Vaulin.  “He’s got great credit union experience, as well, having worked as a Compliance Officer, VP of Lending, and as CEO at the University of South Carolina System CU”.

At CU*SOUTH, Bob Flanagan will apply his credit union experience and software skills to help credit unions get the most from their core software investment.  “As a CUSO, CU*SOUTH’s support of credit unions doesn’t stop at software conversion.  In fact, a conversion is just the first step in a dynamic process that gives credit unions the tools they need to build their product mix and service offerings to meet the changing needs of members.  Whether a CU wants to add a new product, or entirely reinvent their brand, CU*SOUTH offers the tools and services to support that evolution.”

Bob Flanagan will be based in his home state of South Carolina, where he continues to support the USC Gamecocks, a team for which he pitched during his college years.
