- Credit unions use the same technology as large banks. Large banks might have had a head start but many credit unions quickly began using the same technology as bigger banks to provide members with a better banking experience. Today, credit union members have access to banking through cutting edge tech services, such as mobile banking via their smartphone so they can bank from anywhere at any time.
- Credit unions process banking faster and in real-time. Like bigger banks, credit unions are taking advantage of financial technology (Fintech) to speed up the way products and services are provided to members. For instance, with technology, credit union members can now make a deposit or swiftly apply for a loan in real-time.
- The Pandemic accelerated the “Digital Transformation”. The pandemic was a wake-up call for smaller credit unions. Credit unions had to go remote and process transactions electronically since many people were forced to stay at home. If credit unions were in the process of modernizing before, the pandemic surely pushed them to catch up with their competitors.

- Serving larger communities. Credit unions provide a wide array of services. Because mobile banking can be accessed from any location, they can also serve larger communities. This means you'll have access to use mobile banking services by downloading an app or logging on to your online banking. You can make various financial transactions without having to visit a branch. For example, you can transfer funds between accounts, send money to or request money from anyone, make payments or buy something at a store with your phone or device. You can even deposit a check with remote deposit capture services.
- Providing financial and tech security. When it comes to your finances, credit unions use the latest cybersecurity technology and best practices just like any other large bank. Credit unions provide fraud protection to protect your personal and financial information from fraud and theft.
