Texans Credit Union launches Atomic solutions platform with Alkami Technology to enhance member financial capabilities
RICHARDSON, TX (August 6, 2024) — Texans Credit Union (Texans), a premier credit union in North Texas, proudly announces the launch of Atomic Financial’s (Atomic) direct deposit switching solution in partnership with Alkami Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALKT) (“Alkami”), a leading cloud-based digital banking solutions provider for financial institutions in the U.S.
This integration seamlessly incorporates Atomic’s market-leading technology and Alkami’s Digital Banking Platform, empowering Texans’ members to manage and transition their direct deposits with enhanced efficiency through their payroll providers. Members can now independently initiate changes without the involvement of HR representatives.
The product enables the credit union to benefit from a streamlined, fully digital process to set up and switch direct deposits, contributing to increased deposit growth, improved account acquisition and stronger primary member relationships. This enhancement has shown a significant increase in direct deposit conversion rates for Atomic partners while eliminating paper processes, reducing wait times associated with traditional methods and optimizing the cost-effectiveness of deposit acquisition.
“Our commitment at Texans is to prioritize our members and continually innovate to elevate their experience,” said David Frazier, president and CEO of Texans Credit Union. “Partnering with Atomic and Alkami allows us to lead in financial institution advancements, ensuring we deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet our members’ evolving needs.”
Since 2022, Texans has collaborated closely with Alkami to introduce a software development kit featuring open application programming interfaces (APIs) to develop customized digital banking enhancements, including a user-friendly online loan application interface. These advancements optimize processes for members and employees, offering enhanced functionality, increased customization and greater control over account features for a cohesive and modern digital banking experience.
“We are thrilled to support Texans Credit Union in enhancing their digital banking solutions with the implementation of Atomic’s direct deposit switch.
