The 370,000 members of Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union (PSECU) and more than 10 million members of credit unions served by CU*Answers will now be offered mobile access through the technology tools of Firethorn Services LLC.
The deployment will allow PSECU and the Grand Rapids, Mich., core processing CUSO to provide account balances, transaction histories, fund transfers and bill pay using Firethorn's platform and the $3.6 billion credit union's own branded iPhone application.
"We've found that our members like the added convenience of managing their finances on the go. By using Firethorn's mobile solution, they can access time-sensitive information from their mobile device at any time," said PSECU President Greg Smith in Harrisburg, Pa.
