Credit unions are competing with banks more aggressively these days. We already know that Congress passed a bill allowing them to accept members from a variety of employment groups (see cover story, issue 99:03:01). Now, credit unions can compete with banks on the check-ordering front as well.
Deluxe Financial Services, Inc., introduced ONE®, a check ordering service for the Internet, to the credit union market and Provident Central Credit Union has already implemented the system for the Internet.
Deluxe launched the first fully automated Internet check ordering service last year and work is under way with other financial services companies to expand the number of credit unions and banks who provide check ordering on the Web. "By expanding Internet check ordering to the credit union market, we can serve an entirely new market that is calling for more high tech services," said Brian McLaughlin, group product manager Deluxe Electronic Channel Management.
ONE® for the Internet connects consumer directly to Deluxe through credit unions' Web sites and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. An interactive demonstration is available through Deluxe's Web site at www.deluxe.com.
Watch out, banks!
