GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.–CU*Answers, SettleMINT and Payveris reported they have successfully launched the last of their scheduled migrations of credit unions to the It’s Me 247 Bill Pay.
Powered by Payveris’ product, It’s Me 247 is CU*Answers’ first natively designed and fully integrated bill payment and presentment product. The bill pay launch concludes the implementation of 114 credit unions scheduled to switch in 2016, CU*Answers said. The service was first rolled out to credit unions in February 2016.
“When we first announced the new bill pay option, we were not expecting half the number of credit unions to make the switch,” said Scott Page, EVP of Sales for CU*Answers. “The response was incredible though, as credit unions flocked to the Payveris solution thanks to its native design and competitive pricing. SettleMINT and Payveris stepped up in a big way to complete the conversion of so many credit unions in a short period of time.”
CU*Answers SettleMINT is the one stop location for all EFT related products including ATM/debit & credit cards, instant issue cards, bill pay, compromised card support and shared branching. SettleMINT also offers consulting to help their credit union clients maximize their investment in EFT products and features.
Separately, CU*Answers announced it had successfully executed a rollover to its newly deployed backup mainframe located at Site-Four, its CUSO partner in Yankton, S.D.
“As is typical for the CU*Answers, the rollover consisted of running the core data processing for all of its nearly 200 online credit unions from its backup site,” the organization said.
According to CU*Answers CIO Jody Karnes, the recent rollover represented the culmination of many months of planning by the technical teams at both CU*Answers and Site-Four.
Karnes added: “Kudos to both teams for designing and deploying a solution that helps reinforce for our customer-owners that business resiliency is always top-of-mind for CU*Answers and our network of partners. Obviously, moving your backup data center halfway across the country is not something to be taken lightly, and the only way to be sure the project was a success was to run processing from Site-Four for a few days. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.”
