Meet Our Speaker: Jeff Barrage on the Evolution of OnCoreAI

June 10, 2026

Artificial intelligence is everywhere today, but for many credit unions, the question isn't whether AI has potential—it's how to apply it in ways that improve service, increase efficiency, and make better use of the data they already have.

At this year's XP2 Educational Conference, attendees will hear from someone who has been tackling that challenge firsthand. Jeff Barrage, Chief Information Officer at United Solutions Company, will present "What's at Your CORE? OnCoreAI: Past, Present & Future," a look at how USC has transformed the way credit union staff interact with Core data through the power of artificial intelligence.

From AI-powered documentation search to conversational access to live XP2 data, Jeff's session will explore where OnCoreAI began, where it stands today, and where it's headed next.

A Technology Leader Who Started at the Front Line

Jeff Barrage's career path is anything but typical for a CIO.

He began as a bank teller, gaining firsthand experience with the challenges financial institution employees face every day. From there, he advanced through roles including Systems Analyst, Database Administrator, and Senior Data Analyst, developing a unique blend of operational knowledge and technical expertise.

That journey has shaped Jeff's approach to technology leadership. Having worked both within credit unions and at Fiserv Datasafe, he understands how technology impacts everyone from front-line staff serving members to the teams responsible for maintaining secure, high-performing systems behind the scenes.

Today, as CIO of United Solutions Company, Jeff leads technology strategy focused on innovation, security, and practical solutions that help credit unions work smarter.

Looking Ahead

While today's capabilities are impressive, Jeff believes the most exciting developments are still ahead.

During his presentation, attendees will get a preview of what's next for OnCoreAI, including expanded datasets, workflow automation, enhanced integrations, and AI-driven insights designed to help credit unions work more proactively.

As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, credit unions have an opportunity to leverage these tools in ways that strengthen, not replace, the human relationships at the center of the cooperative movement.

Jeff's session offers a practical look at how that future is already beginning to take shape.
