Ravalli County and Bitterroot Community Federal Credit Unions have each signed 5 year contracts to use the core processing solution CU*BASE^® GOLD. They will be the first Montana-based credit unions to utilize CU*NorthWest’s core processing product, CU*BASE.

“We are excited to work with Ravalli County and Bitterroot Community FCU’s”, said Greg Smith, CU*NorthWest CEO, “both credit unions have shown an eagerness to expand service offerings and provide their members a greater level of service. They have positioned their credit unions to work hand-in-hand with a cooperative business partner in order to thrive for many years to come”.

Based on long-standing professional relationship while being located less than 20 miles from one another, Sue Smith (Ravalli CEO) and Kathy Transue (Bitterroot CEO) especially value the collaborative toolsets built native within CU*BASE.

Ravalli County FCU is based in Hamilton, Montana and serves over 4800 members with $34M in assets. Over the last two decades, Ravalli County FCU has expanded their operations and capacity to best serve to their membership. With one branch, $7M in assets, and over 1200 members, Bitterroot Community FCU has served the people of Darby, Montana and the surrounding area since 1968.

Ravalli County and Bitterroot Community FCU’s are scheduled to convert in May 2014.
