Boston Firefighters Credit Union, Dorchester, Mass., selected COCC as its new technology partner.
COCC is a provider of core technology solutions for financial institutions. It is headquartered in Southington, Conn.
Boston Firefighters CU, a $251 million institution serving more than 8,000 firefighters, police and correction officers, said it was looking for top-notch technology, local service and a partner it could trust.
“We decided on COCC for a number of reasons,” Bernie Winne, president and CEO of Boston Firefighters CU, said in a statement. “We liked the products but, more significantly, we liked the people.”
The credit union said it was impressed with COCC’s senior management team, and the company’s commitment to developing a business relationship and helping the credit union to thrive.
“The products offered by COCC will be a significant technological upgrade from what we have been using,” said Winne. “COCC offers much more functionality that is far more robust. It will allow us to do things that we have never been able to do.”
Winne said he attended COCC’s 2016 Annual Client Conference and had the opportunity to meet other credit union leaders who spoke highly of the company, its products and services. “I got glowing reviews. That played a significant role in the decision we made,” said Winne.
“The relationships that we build with our prospective clients only grow stronger as we bring those clients on board,” said Richard A. Leone, CEO of COCC. “Collaborating with Boston Firefighters Credit Union is another opportunity for us to foster that strong relationship with a growing credit union in a growing market. We are proud to continue to work with these institutions that work so hard to serve their communities.”
