Credit unions have never had more technology at their fingertips. Unfortunately, that can also mean more vendors, more integrations, more systems to manage, and more complexity behind the scenes.
At United Solutions Company, we believe modernization should make things simpler, not harder.
That’s why we’re excited to announce a new strategic partnership with Blossom, bringing its cloud-native, full-stack banking platform to the United Solutions portfolio. Through the partnership, USC will market, implement, and support Blossom’s platform, pairing modern technology with the personalized service and implementation expertise credit unions have relied on from United Solutions for more than four decades.
Giving Credit Unions More Choice
No two credit unions are exactly alike. Their members are different. Their strategies are different. Their operational needs are different.
So why should they all be expected to fit into the same technology box?
For United Solutions, adding Blossom is about expanding the options available to credit unions and helping each institution find technology that fits where it wants to go, rather than forcing the institution to adapt around its technology.
Blossom brings core banking, digital banking, card processing, account and loan origination, real-time payments, fraud prevention, ATMs, and more together within a cloud-native platform.
The result is an opportunity to reduce the number of disconnected systems and vendor relationships credit unions have to manage while creating a more integrated experience for employees and members.
As United Solutions President & CEO Jim Giacobbe explained:
“Why manage multiple vendors, deal with integration challenges, and watch costs increase year after year when you can have one capable, modern platform that provides virtually everything a credit union needs?”
Blossom’s technology is also designed with the future in mind. Its cloud-native architecture supports AI and digital assets at the core level, allowing AI to work directly with live core data while bringing multiple banking capabilities onto a common platform.
Modern Technology Meets the CUSO Philosophy
Technology is only one part of this partnership.
Both United Solutions and Blossom are CUSOs owned by the credit unions they serve. That shared foundation brings something important to the relationship: a focus on collaboration, service, and helping credit unions succeed rather than simply selling another piece of technology.
For USC, that philosophy has guided our work since 1983.
As technology continues to change, our approach remains remarkably consistent: listen to credit unions, understand where they are trying to go, and help connect them with technology and expertise that can get them there.
Blossom gives us another way to do exactly that.
Whether a credit union is preparing for a core conversion, evaluating its long-term technology strategy, looking to simplify its vendor environment, or planning for future growth, this partnership provides another option built around the needs of today’s credit unions.
More choice. More integration. Less complexity.
And, most importantly, technology that helps credit unions spend less time managing systems and more time serving their members.
