San Ramon, Calif. — (March 17, 2021) — Lumin Digital, a PSCU company, has been selected by Firstmark Credit Union (Firstmark) to provide online and mobile digital banking to more than 60,000 users when the credit union goes live on the platform in April. Firstmark, a long-time PSCU partner, has signed a multi-year agreement for Lumin Digital’s cloud-native platform.
Founded in 1932 in San Antonio, Texas, Firstmark currently has nearly 100,000 members and over $1 billion in assets. The credit union offers a full suite of financial products and services to help members achieve financial wellness. With an extreme focus on the member experience, Firstmark is committed to providing solutions that are smart, simple and secure.
“In a year of crisis, consumers used online channels in record numbers, resulting in an era of digital transformation across all industries,” said Nathanael Tarwasokono, president and CEO of Firstmark. “To quickly position our credit union for this pronounced shift, we accelerated previous plans to enhance our digital channels, and we believe Lumin Digital will be the right partner to provide scalable technology, seamless integration and a customized member experience.”
According to Aaron Bedingfield, vice president, Information Technology for Firstmark, one of the most exciting things about the partnership is Lumin Digital’s ability to assess, develop and implement at near lightning speed. The traditional roadblocks to releasing new enhancements or correcting issues have been removed, paving the way for the credit union to provide “white glove service” to members throughout the digital experience.
