ATLANTA–Family finance platforms, leasing programs, digital lending and more are featured among the latest product and service offerings either being offered by vendors or selected by credit unions, in this, the second of a two-part series this week in the CU Daily’s CU Shopper.
Here’s a synopsis of what solutions are being announced and, in some cases, selected by CUs.
Greenlight Reaches 100 Credit Union Partners
ATLANTA—Greenlight said its Greenlight for Credit Unions program has surpassed 100 participating credit unions, marking a milestone for the family finance platform as it expands relationships with financial institutions nationwide.
The company said it created Greenlight Financial CUSO in 2023 to help credit unions offer financial education and family banking tools. Millions of credit union members now receive complimentary access to the company’s family finance app, according to Greenlight.
Greenlight said the program is helping credit unions attract younger households, noting its average parent user is 44 years old. A recent survey found 77% of participating members said the offering made them more likely to remain with their credit union, while 79% said they were more likely to recommend it.
The company added that many participating credit unions have also begun offering its Family Shield elder fraud protection service.
Credit Union of Georgia Adds Vehicle Leasing Through CULA
SAN DIEGO—Credit Union Leasing of America has partnered with Credit Union of Georgia to offer vehicle leasing to the Georgia-based institution’s more than 36,000 members.
CULA said the $732-million-asset credit union joins a network of 40 partner credit unions representing more than $146 billion in assets.
The company said leasing provides members with an additional financing option as vehicle affordability remains a concern. According to CULA, members nationwide saved an average of $169 per month in 2025 by leasing rather than financing comparable vehicles, totaling an estimated $94.6 million in annual savings.
Jason Walker, chief lending officer at Credit Union of Georgia, said the program gives members a more flexible path to vehicle ownership while adding a competitive product for dealers and borrowers.
Fuse Launches AI-Based Point-of-Sale Platform for Credit Unions
NEW YORK—Fuse has introduced Fuse AI POS, which it describes as an artificial intelligence-powered point-of-sale platform built specifically for credit unions.
The company said the platform eliminates upfront software costs and long-term vendor contracts by offering a free core point-of-sale and account-opening system, with optional automation features available through a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
Fuse said generative AI enables the platform to create a branded member portal in about five minutes using a credit union’s existing website and branding materials. The company also announced a $5 million fund intended to help institutions exit legacy software contracts.
Company executives said the approach is designed to reduce procurement risk and allow institutions to evaluate technology before making larger investments.
CrossState Solutions Partners With Clutch
HARRISBURG, Pa.—CrossState Solutions has entered into a partnership with digital lending platform Clutch to provide credit unions in Pennsylvania and New Jersey with access to artificial intelligence-powered lending and account-opening technology.
Clutch said its platform automates loan origination, deposit account opening, document collection, communications, collections and other processes while maintaining member-focused service. The company said more than 200 credit unions, including six of the nation’s 10 largest, use its technology.
Monika Edlis, director of solutions engagement for CrossState Solutions, said the partnership supports the organization’s goal of helping credit unions improve efficiency and member relationships. Clutch CEO Nicholas Hinrichsen said the alliance will expand the company’s reach among institutions seeking to modernize operations.
BankSocial Selects Axivus as First AI Accelerator Participant
DALLAS—BankSocial has selected Axivus Corp., a startup founded by undergraduate students from Duke University and the University of North Carolina, as the inaugural participant in its Converge AI Accelerator, according to the company.
BankSocial said the accelerator is designed to support early-stage artificial intelligence companies developing technology for the credit union industry. Axivus was identified by BankSocial CEO John Wingate during a college hackathon earlier this year and later introduced to the credit union industry at the 2026 NACUSO conference.
As part of the program, Axivus will gain access to BankSocial’s AI development infrastructure and expertise in the credit union market. The startup focuses on simplifying complex financial information and investment decision-making through technology.
Wingate said the accelerator is intended to help cultivate innovation within the credit union industry by connecting emerging fintech companies with cooperative financial institutions.
People’s Credit Union Adopts Salus Financial Wellness Platform
NEWPORT, R.I.—People’s Credit Union has partnered with financial technology provider Salus to implement a suite of digital financial wellness products, including earned wage access, microloans, rent reporting for credit building and predictive analytics.
The $802-million-asset credit union said it selected Salus after more than a year of evaluating the platform and consulting with peer credit unions. The products are intended to help members, particularly younger consumers, manage unexpected expenses and build credit.
Bill DeWitt, head of member delivery and marketing at People’s Credit Union, said the partnership supports the institution’s mission of providing fair alternatives to higher-cost lenders while expanding access to responsible financial tools.
Salus CEO James Chemplavil said the platform is designed to help credit unions respond quickly to members facing financial challenges while strengthening long-term relationships.

Steve Bone, MAP’s chief executive officer, said the partnership will help credit unions deliver the real-time payment capabilities members increasingly expect while maintaining existing technology platforms.

Nuvision Partners With Greenlight on Financial Literacy
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif.—Nuvision Credit Union has partnered with Greenlight Financial Technology to provide members with free access to the company’s family finance application, the organizations announced.
