TROY, Mich. — Galaxy Credit Union Systems is now the official name of the Fiserv core processing unit formerly known as GalaxyPlus.The re-branding to the name the Fiserv core processing unit already uses within the industry also includes a logo change and new Web address (www.fiserv-galaxy.com.)The company’s offices in suburban Detroit also have been re-modeled and now include “Galaxy Credit Union,” a virtual credit union used to showcase Galaxy’s offerings while also allowing credit unions and third-party vendors to test and emulate their products and services.Galaxy also is launching Fiserv Continuum, a separate product division to promote Galaxy’s member-focused solutions to credit unions using any core processing system. That includes point-based member rewards programs, online enrollment, contact management tools, credit report analysis and loan capture solutions and a payday lending alternative called iAdvance.“To be successful, we must actively adapt to the changing needs of the members, be innovative and take risks.
