Cost-conscious credit unions integrate IT infrastructures

摘要

Two credit unions wary of the antimerger environment facing Canada's financial services industry are going ahead with efforts to integrate their organizations as much as possible, starting with their IT systems. According to Gord Huston, president and CEO of Envision Financial in British Columbia, his company and First Calgary Savings in Alberta will soon be ramping up their inter-provincial credit union partnership by running a common banking platform provided by Fincentric. While Envision Financial has been running Fincentric's Wealthview Banking system for a few years, First Calgary Savings only recently agreed to adopt the solution, which will be rolled out next year.
