Corporate One Reports It Has Hit Milestone With ‘Go-Lives’ on RFT Network, FedNow

COLUMBUS, Ohio–Corporate One FCU is reporting it has hit a milestone with 100 go-lives on the RTP network or FedNow Service through its Immediate Payments Third-Party Service Provider (TPSP) solution. 

The 100 CUs include 84 member credit unions connected to the RTP network and 16 connected to the FedNow Service, it said. 

“Our mission is to ensure credit unions of all sizes can access immediate payments, and we’re proud that the first 100 go-lives live up to this promise, connecting credit unions from $23 million to $18 billion,” President and CEO Melissa Ashley said in a statement. “We’ve eliminated traditional barriers to entry, creating a pathway for credit unions to compete effectively in today’s digital-first financial landscape. We aim to make immediate payments as ubiquitous as ACH—expected, effortless, and essential.”

Corporate One said it officially surpassed one-million accepted transactions via the RTP network on April 12 and serves approximately 26% of all credit unions connected to the RTP network. 

“The momentum continues to build, with more than 25 additional credit unions, including Suncoast Credit Union, an $18 billion credit union in Tampa, Fla. scheduled to go live in the coming months,” Corporate One said.

Celebrating the 100th Go-Live

The 100th go-live was Educators Credit Union, a $3.3 billion credit union in Mount Pleasant, Wis., which successfully connected to the FedNow Service on May 15. The credit union connected to the RTP network through Corporate One on March 4, Corporate One said.

“Corporate One has been a wonderful strategic partner in helping us bring immediate payments to life for our members,” President and CEO Linda Hoover said in a statement. “Corporate One’s TPSP solution empowers us to deliver on our promise to provide fast, secure, and reliable financial solutions that reflect the pace of our members’ lives.”

Immediate Payments Available

Corporate One said it is a “trusted partner for both major payment rails, serving as a certified TPSP on the RTP network and a service provider for the FedNow Service. 

Corporate One said it currently supports credit unions of all asset sizes—from $23 million to $18 billion. This broad reach highlights Corporate One’s deep expertise, strong strategic partnerships, and efficient implementation model. This market presence stems from the corporate’s ability to deliver turnkey, 45-60 day implementations across nine core processors, including Fiserv, CU*Answers, Corelation, and Jack Henry.

In the first quarter of 2025, Corporate One reported it successfully connected one of the top 10 largest credit unions to the RTP network and FedNow Service. The $18.5-billion Randolph-Brooks FCU in San Antonio is using Corporate One’s TPSP service along with its full suite of immediate payment solutions that includes settlement and cash management for both rails.

‘Vital Role’

“At Randolph-Brooks, providing quick, secure, and convenient financial experiences for our members is paramount,” President and CEO Mark Sekula said in a statement. “Immediate payments play a vital role in that vision, and Corporate One offered the perfect path forward. Their extensive expertise and robust partnerships enabled us to seamlessly connect to both the RTP network and the FedNow Service, allowing us to confidently and swiftly meet our members’ expectations.”

Over half of the credit unions connected to immediate payment rails through Corporate One have assets exceeding $192 million.

Firelands Federal Credit Union, a $500 million credit union headquartered in Bellevue, Ohio, was connected to the FedNow Service through Corporate One in December 2024 after going live on the RTP network in September 2023, it said. 

‘Incredibly Smooth’

“The implementation process was incredibly smooth and easy. After our weekly meetings, we had little to no questions, as the information and expectations we were given were very clear and communicated well,” Controller Farrah Wynbissinger said in a statement. “We never felt like we were on our own and were encouraged to reach out with any questions. That was an aspect that I loved. We truly enjoyed working with Corporate One.”
