ModernFi Announces Partnership with Tru Treasury

ModernFi CUSO, which operates the first-ever deposit network for credit unions, is thrilled to announce our partnership with Tru Treasury, the preeminent provider of credit union treasury services, to deliver transformative balance sheet management tools empowering credit unions to compete in business banking. This collaboration provides the credit union ecosystem with a comprehensive suite of treasury management solutions, enabling deposit and member growth with high-dollar business accounts.

Business and commercial shares and deposits have become a key segment for credit unions. Commercial deposits doubled as a percentage of total deposits between 2015 and 2023, from 2.2% to 4.4%. The ModernFi and Tru Treasury partnership equips credit unions with the tools and resources necessary to navigate the complexities of business banking.

“For years, we have been searching for a deposit network to add to our offerings and were thrilled to find ModernFi,” stated John Ballantyne, CEO of Tru Treasury. “Our broad range of treasury solutions combined with ModernFi’s industry-leading deposit network significantly enhances the financial infrastructure available to credit unions, positioning them to win in the competitive business banking market.”

Through ModernFi’s deposit network, credit unions can offer accounts with millions in extended NCUA insurance,* offering a non-rate proposition to attract and retain deposits. Business accounts typically hold balances above the standard federal insurance limit to cover payroll, bill payments, and other liabilities. As credit unions continue to drive deposit growth, extended insurance plays a key role in creating long-lasting, sticky relationships with these large-value members.

Tru Treasury is the market-leading provider of treasury management solutions and consulting services. By providing strategic insights and advanced financial tools, Tru Treasury helps credit unions optimize their treasury operations and expand their business banking capabilities. The partnership with ModernFi introduces a holistic suite of solutions that historically has not been available to credit unions.

“As credit unions face one of the most competitive deposit environments in recent memory, ModernFi’s partnership with Tru Treasury provides credit unions an innovative solution to manage their balance sheet needs and offer members value through access to millions in insurance,” said Michael Mutscheller, Head of Business Development at ModernFi. “Backed by ModernFi and Tru Treasury, credit unions can perform the services required by modern businesses and offer a compelling breadth of solutions tailored to their needs.”

By leveraging the combined strengths of ModernFi and Tru Treasury, credit unions can optimize their financial operations, attract and retain large deposits, and deliver superior services to their members. Together, ModernFi and Tru Treasury are committed to driving innovation and supporting the mission of credit unions nationwide.
