Technology services company Persistent Systems has joined a NAFCU Services’ programme for credit unions as its newest Preferred Partner.

The partnership was approved following an independent review and voting process by credit union executives.

The move will provide the credit unions with greater access to Persistent’s technology services and solutions to fuel digital transformation.

Notably, Persistent Systems launched the Persistent Digital Credit Union Solution in 2019. It was designed to enable credit unions leverage cloud based technologies to establish digital banking initiatives and expedite product launches.

NAFCU Services president Randy Salser said: “We are excited to welcome Persistent as a new partner to this programme.

“Adoption of cloud and other cutting edge technologies including machine learning, automation, and artificial intelligence have rapidly become necessary for so many credit union functions.

“A partner like Persistent can help our industry continue to grow and innovate with proven technologies and practices.”

Persistent BFSI chief strategy officer Bipin Sahni said: “Credit unions play a critical role in society; and enabling them to use best-of-breed technology to better serve their members and grow their reach is a core part of our business.

“We’re proud to partner with NAFCU so we can help even more credit unions quickly launch new digital capabilities.”

NAFCU Services is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions (NAFCU).

It was formed to connect credit unions with appropriate industry partners.
