Genisys Completes Conversion
Harland Financial Solutions and Genisys Credit Union said they have completed the suburban Detroit credit union’s conversion to the UltraData Enterprise core processing platform.
The $1.3 billion institution based in Auburn Hills, Mich., is the result of a merger between T&C FCU and USA CU. Genisys CU now has 25 branches in Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania and more than 125,000 members.
UltraData platforms, a product of Harland Financial Solutions in Lake Mary, Fla., had been used by T&C FCU for more than 10 years. The deployment of the new Enterprise platform included two test and two mock conversions, the company and credit union said.
The conversion also included the addition of UltraData’s new CRM solution.
“Conversion is the largest, most complex project a financial institution can undertake, and it comes with challenges and opportunities. We wanted to make sure this merger was seamless to our members. We took the time to train all our staff extensively and had the right staff working very closely with the team from Harland Financial Solutions,” said Jackie Buchanan, executive vice president and CIO of Genisys CU and vice chair of the CUNA Technology Council Executive Committee.
More than 550 credit unions run on UltraData platforms, the company said.
