Patelco Offering Its E-Based Services To Other CUs To Use

Patelco Credit Union, one of the first credit unions in the country to develop a website and use information technology to build member service, is offering its expertise to credit unions interested in expanding electronic services.

"Patelco has always been an industry leader and provider," said Anita Macias, senior vice president of marketing. "Everything we do, we do with the industry in mind."

Though credit unions aren't flocking to its door, Macias said Patelco is making everything available to those that do. One example is an in-house product called Loan Hunter that allows members to apply and be approved for a loan in minutes.

"If there is something that we can give them, we do," Macias noted. "If it's something that we need to recoup some costs and sell it, then we do, but not to make a profit."
