Analytic software firm FICO today announced that PSECU (Pennsylvania State Employees Credit Union) will use its FICO^® Customer Communications Services to make joining and borrowing easier. With a focus on mobile and online banking, PSECU uses FICO technology to treat each member as an individual. When a prospect applies to be a member, or a member applies for a loan, FICO’s automated communications will keep them informed at every stage of the process, instantly, via SMS or email.

“We’re always looking to improve our members’ experiences as they interact with us for their financial needs,” said William Zysk, Chief Credit Officer, PSECU. “Embedding real-time communication channels into our various service areas using the FICO CCS solution accomplishes two things. First, we’ll be able to create ‘frictionless’ encounters for our members. Second, and perhaps most important, we will be responding to them at the speed they have come to expect in every aspect of their lives.”

It is one of the largest credit unions in Pennsylvania, with more than 400,000 members and over $4 billion in assets. The credit union will also use FICO CCS to send payment reminders to members who fall behind in loan payments.  

“People increasingly prefer SMS and email communications from financial services providers,” said Tim VanTassel, vice president of credit risk lifecycle solutions at FICO. “Our solution is a perfect fit for a modern credit union like PSECU.”
