Smart Solution, a leading provider of financial management solutions, is delighted to announce that it has entered into an exciting new partnership with the Greater Vancouver Community Credit Union Limited. GVCCU’s existing Fiserv banking system is being replaced by Smart Solution's Universa Premier Core Banking System. Universa, a state-of-the-art, fully integrated, browser-based banking platform, was created from the ground up based on the latest industry standard technologies and best practises. Having completed ten successful conversions to its Universa platform, Smart Solution has already signed commitments for further conversions in 2014 and 2015. This partnership with GVCCU will enhance Smart Solution's presence in the province of British Columbia where it currently services several other clients.
“The banking system is an essential element in the delivery of services to our members. It’s critical for us to have a system that meets and evolves with our needs and this was key in evaluating our options. Not only did we look for a high-tech and innovative technology we wanted a Canadian partner that would understand, listen and respond to the needs of our credit union. We were impressed with Smart Solution's industry expertise, proven track record and willingness to work and evolve the system cooperatively. We are confident that Smart Solution's Universa integrated banking platform will provide us with the tools for superior member service, efficient operations and enable us to position ourselves strategically to meet the requirements of a constantly changing financial industry. Our staff and management are excited about the enhanced capabilities of the new banking system and look forward to the implementation this year”, said Mr. Phil Moore, General Manager, GVCCU.
“We were very pleased when GVCCU chose to convert to our Universa platform to enhance its focus on member services over the coming years,” said Iean Tait, President and CEO, Smart Solution. “GVCCU understands that cutting-edge technology is absolutely necessary to provide its members with excellence in financial options and services. Smart Solution is committed to offering technology solutions that are tailored to support the unique needs of its financial industry clients, whether it's meeting the challenges of new products, making friendlier interfaces for end-users or aligning support strategies that are both cost-effective and efficient. With GVCCU about to join our ever-growing Universa client list, we are confident in inviting any financial institution looking to upgrade to a modern, flexible and robust core banking platform at a competitive price, to join our team.”
