Enterprise app company Kony announced it has teamed up with Partners Federal Credit Union to accelerate the credit union’s new digital banking services.
Specifically, Kony will fuel Partners FCU’s Digital 2x initiative which focuses on accelerating the delivery of new digital banking services and enhancing the digital user experience. Partners FCU, which is the credit union for employees of the Walt Disney Company, hopes that its Digital 2x initiative will offer its 150,000 members a seamless, universal experience across all of its digital services.
The aim of Kony’s involvement in the initiative is two-fold. Partners FCU is planning for it “to deliver new digital banking services and capabilities” while at the same time “fostering an agile work environment to empower teams to quickly adapt to change.”
To chronicle the success of the partnership, the California-based credit union is creating a five-part documentary series highlighting key milestones in the credit union’s digital evolution. Check out the series overview video below:
In describing why his firm selected Kony, Partners FCU President and CEO John Janclaes said, “We wanted to work with the industry’s best digital master, so we selected Kony to be our trusted partner to help us on this digital journey. Our objective is to ensure we deliver innovative banking services seamlessly across both our digital and physical channels, and not only meet but exceed the expectations of our cast members today and in the future.”
