Our CU*BASE Member Processing System provides a level of processing competency that surpasses the feature set and functionality of other “traditional” solutions on the market and does so in a more cost-effective manner. Unlike many competitive solutions, CU*BASE is not a “subset” of our flagship product, and all of our clients can take advantage of system enhancements as they are made for no additional charge. The underlying foundation to provide this environment is the IBM iSeries® Server and its fully integrated DB2 database, allowing our clients to spend their time managing their credit union instead of their servers and databases.
