Who We Are & What We Do

01.

CUCollaborate is a data and analytics CUSO that helps credit unions maximize growth, impact, and performance.  We empower credit unions to adapt and thrive by combining proprietary data and technology with deep subject matter expertise to drive smarter strategic decision-making. Our creative strategies, rooted in our unique technical approach powered by data-driven insights, enable credit unions to stay competitive, optimize performance, and expand their impact in an evolving financial landscape. 

02.

We’re more than credit union experts. We look for creative solutions to take our clients out of their comfort zones and into a new phase of growth. We do it by building pioneering software solutions that help our clients achieve growth now and in the future.

Why We Do It

03.

We work exclusively with credit unions for the same reason that customers choose to work with them. They’re simply better. Credit unions provide greater financial access to often-overlooked markets, making the communities they serve more equitable, better places to live.

04.

Credit unions' transformational power extends far beyond one-to-one transactions; they create a lasting impact for the better. We think that’s a pretty radical mission — and we’re finding new ways to help credit unions achieve it.

The Team Behind the Magic

Different thinking brings disruptive ideas — and our people aren’t afraid to share their diverse perspectives. In fact, it’s how we create truly fresh thinking for our clients everyday. We’ve been credit union reporters, data analysts, corporate consultants, and even rocket scientists. Plus a whole lot more. That’s how you get the benefit of deep industry experience and passion without the same old ideas.
