For the 66% of account holders who would consider switching their financial institutions if the move wasn't so painful, Texas Trust Credit Union said it has a plan to make the entire process easier and faster.

The $680 million credit union in Mansfield, Texas, has launched SwitchAgent from Deluxe Corp.
