Heritage Community Credit Union Signs with United Solutions CUSO DataSafe Core System

March 18, 2020

March -2020 – Tallahassee, FL – United Solutions Company (USC), a technology CUSO hosting core processing and other technology services for credit unions, announced Heritage Community Credit Union has signed a contract to migrate their DataSafe Core Processing System. The Heritage Community Credit Union has chosen USC as their technology partner because of their understanding of the unique challenges and pain points for credit unions. This insight has encouraged USC to develop products such as, OnCore Suite.

“United Solutions is very excited to host Heritage Community Credit Union,” exclaims Jim Giacobbe, President and CEO of USC. “The credit union’s CEO, Ed Turk, sets the tone for his management team with his upbeat and positive attitude. The credit union will be using the full depth of USC products, including our core systems, business intelligence, onboarding, loan pricing, CRM, chat and forms processing software. Our focus at United Solutions is to help the credit union continue to grow in both profitability and efficiencies.”

In 1953, the roots of Heritage Community Credit Union were planted when seven civilians working on Mather Air Force Base recognized a need for better financial service on base. In the years that followed, this organization would grow to serve military personnel and take on the name, Mather Federal Credit Union. After serval years and careful consideration, the member-elected Board of Directors voted to change the name of Mather Federal Credit Union to Heritage Community Credit Union. This name was chosen for its reference to tradition and strength, and as a tribute to the members who have been instrumental in the credit union's growth and success since their inception in 1953. Effective March 1, 1999, Heritage Community Credit Union completed its conversion and began operating under a state community charter. Today, Heritage Community serves members who live, work, worship or attend school in Sacramento or Placer Counties in California. 

“We are impressed that USC has both withstood the tests of time and continues to innovate and improve DataSafe features,” claims Ed Turk, CEO of Heritage Community Credit Union. “We appreciate their willingness to understand the unique challenges, pain points, and business objectives we have as a Credit Union and to customize impactful solutions for our Credit Union. We look forward to their service-oriented approach, also believing USC is committed to our success and will be a partner in that success.”
