December 12, 2024

At the Credit Union, innovation is at the heart of our commitment to helping members achieve their financial goals. This year, the lab at MSUFCU introduced several exciting financial technology (fintech) solutions designed to simplify money management, improve financial wellness, and offer members cutting-edge tools. Here’s a look at our favorite innovations from 2024 that can help you achieve financial wins in 2025.

But First, Why Innovation Matters
Each of these tools reflects the Credit Union's mission to provide solutions that simplify financial life. From reducing stress over subscriptions to offering access to community resources, these innovations are designed to meet members where they are and empower them to reach their goals.

1. Reset VISA Card
For members seeking daily access to their earnings without the stress of credit checks or security deposits, the Reset VISA card is a game-changer. It’s perfect for building financial independence while staying in control of your spending.

2. SpringFour
Managing finances can be challenging, and SpringFour is here to help. This self-service tool connects you with trusted local resources, from financial relief programs to government and nonprofit services. It’s a must-have for those navigating tough economic times.

3. Tandem App
Sharing expenses with a partner has never been easier. Tandem automates bill-splitting and expense management, offering Credit Union members a free three-month premium subscription. It’s all about financial teamwork.

4. Card Updater Powered by Strivve
Updating card information for online subscriptions and payments is now seamless. This tool securely manages updates across multiple merchants, ensuring uninterrupted service and saving time.

If you’d like to explore these tools further or join pilot programs, visit the lab through the OU Credit Union Mobile App or ComputerLine. Your feedback will continue to shape the future of financial technology for all members.
