MyCUAnywhere is Now Sprig

ONTARIO, CA – July 22, 2011 — FSCC (Financial Service Centers Cooperative, Inc.), the nation's largest and most convenient shared branching network with over 6,700 in-network locations, along with CU Wireless, a credit union service organization based in Salem, OR, is excited to announce today that MyCUAnywhere will now be known as Sprig. Soon Sprig will deliver enhanced features, including a first in the industry: fund transfer capability from one institution to another (providing both institutions are shared branching members). Using secure, SMS/text banking technology members can easily and conveniently access account information including balances, transaction history, loan status as well as authorize fund transfers.

Bringing banking to the palm of one’s hand, Sprig text banking delivers a robust answer to consumer demand for convenience and instant access. FSCC participating credit unions can now offer their members the latest in mobile text-based account access—immediately. A cost effective solution, Sprig is available without set up or monthly maintenance fees, and no minimum monthly usage is required. Credit unions only pay per member transaction.

Sprig will eventually encompass all FSCC shared branching connections that offer shared services directly to members. For example, Sprig mobile apps for iPhone and Android will be available soon and will include all features of the text banking option plus enhanced features such as mobile deposit capture. When launched, the new features will also be provided on a per transaction basis with no additional monthly maintenance or set up fees. This will allow FSCC participating credit unions of all sizes to rapidly implement this fast growing member service outlet.

“FSCC and CU Wireless share the same belief and mission—helping credit unions better serve their members. With the release of Sprig, we’re excited to partner with a company that is a leader in setting industry standards. Although CU Wireless has a history of saving credit union members on their wireless phone bills, it just makes sense to continue to find innovative ways to help credit unions help their members. FSCC allows us to do that and Sprig is the latest result of our collaboration,” said Chris Giles, General Manager, CU Wireless.

“The creation and development of Sprig is a result of combined commitment and dedication. FSCC and CU Wireless are focused on helping credit unions deliver the very best in services and products to their members. Once again, our partnership has resulted in success. We will continue to seek and develop innovative solutions for our members. We’re proud to announce Sprig as a new member of the FSCC family,” said Sarah Canepa Bang, President/CEO, FSCC.
