BEAVERTON, Ore. – First Tech Credit Union is joining the Open Technology Solutions (OTS) tech CUSO and converting to the Open Solutions Inc. core platform next spring, the $1.5 billion CU says. The decision comes after 20 years of running an in-house system from Summit Information Systems and follows a core system review by Cornerstone Advisors, the CU says. First Tech will invest in OTS (www.open-techs.com) as an equal owner with $1.6 billion Bellco Credit Union of Greenwood Villa, Colo., and $2.1 billion Bethpage Federal Credit Union of Bethpage, N.Y. OTS will now be processing transactions on OSI's platform for more than 400,000 credit union members at the three credit unions, says Mike Atkins, COO for the Denver-based CUSO, formed in 2003 by Bellco and Bethpage.
