A Move to Crystallize the Next Era of Banking

There might be a whole lot that human beings can do well, but honestly, there is nothing we do better than growing on a consistent basis. This progressive approach, on our part, has already got us to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a major member of the stated group. The reason why technology enjoys such an esteemed stature among people is, by and large, based on its skill-set, which ushered us towards a reality that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look up close for a second, it will become clear how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence, and consequentially, kickstarted a tech revolution. Of course, this revolution then went on to scale up the human experience from all conceivable directions, but even after achieving such a monumental feat, technology will somehow continue to deliver the goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and truth be told, a newly-launched platform should only position that trend to become bigger and better moving forward.

Meriwest Credit Union, a leading finance player based in San Jose, California, has officially launched a new online and mobile banking platform, which is designed to give users a simpler, safer, and overall, a more sophisticated banking experience. Under the arrangement, Meriwest will be able to offer a personalized service across all the relevant portals. Next up, it will let you access your credit score in a rather hassle-free manner, while also delivering the necessary tools to manage and improve the same. In case there was something left to be desired about the platform’s individual-centric approach, it makes a point to address that by offering a far better brand of person-to-person (P2P) payments. However, these are still not the only features coming into play here, as the development has even introduced a dedicated application for catering to a variety of specialized financial services like receipt management, remote deposit, and many more.

Among the other features, the new platform serves the user with a secure and intelligent chatbot, and it packages that alongside a slew of exciting cashback rewards.

“The board of directors and executive management at Meriwest strongly believe that accessing financial information and transacting the movement of money should be built around the concept of simplicity, which includes delivering seamless, intuitive digital experiences that match or even exceed what members receive from major retailers and tech companies,” said Julie Kirsch, President, and CEO at Meriwest Credit Union.

In order to present a cutting-edge product, Meriwest has, notably enough, collaborated with NCR Corporation. But what makes NCR the ideal partner here? Well, founded way back in 1884, NCR is one of the biggest enterprise technology providers on the block. The company’s diverse product line-up has given it a presence across many different niches, including retail stores, restaurants, and self-directed banking etc, and to support such an expansive operation, it currently boasts a global workforce of around 38,000 employees.

“Digital engagement has become a strategic priority for institutions to increase market share and build strong, lasting member relationships. NCR is committed to delivering the software and services necessary for leading financial institutions like Meriwest Credit Union to effectively grow and compete,” said Douglas Brown, President, and General Manager of Digital Banking for NCR Corporation.

As for Meriwest Credit Union, it is one giant of a financial institution in its own right. Holding assets in excess of $2 billion at the moment, the organization provides personal banking, business banking, and wealth advisory products and services to thousands of US families and businesses. This footprint, given the attractive nature of Meriwest’s new platform, should now hope to grow at a substantial rate over the next few years.
