American Heritage FCU Commits to APPRO Platform

PHILADELPHIA – American Heritage Federal Credit Union says it will deploy automated-decisioning software from APPRO for its consumer lending business. The $513 million CU will use the LoanCenter Consumer platform from APPRO to streamline its processes, the CU says. “APPRO LoanCenter Consumer was easily integrated with our Symitar core system while complementing our current philosophy, products, services and delivery channels,” says Bruce Foulke, CEO and president of American Heritage FCU. Steve Uffman, group executive of Equifax Enabling Technologies, says the APPRO system will help American Heritage FCU “reallocate resources previously devoted to manual loan processes while creating an environment to help it improve its consumer lending portfolio.” Uffman was chairman and CEO of Louisiana-based APPRO when it was bought by Atlanta-based Equifax in 2005.
