AUSTIN, Texas & SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kony, Inc., a recognized leader in digital banking solutions, and California Coast Credit Union (Cal Coast), the longest serving financial institution in San Diego, today announced their new partnership to transform Cal Coast’s existing digital banking offering. Cal Coast expects to add new functionality, modernize its user interface, and implement new methods to personalize member services. Using Kony’s digital banking platform, Kony DBX and Cal Coast will more quickly bring world-class features and enhancements to the credit union’s 175,000 members.
With more than $2.5 billion in assets, Cal Coast serves people living in San Diego and Riverside Counties. “We always consider member service our highest priority,” said California Coast Credit Union’s Chief Information Officer Angela Moran. “We are constantly pushing the envelope to stay one step ahead of the technology curve. We look at every tool available to help us deliver on our mission to simplify the lives of our members and help them achieve financial prosperity.”
Kony DBX and Cal Coast will deploy a more personalized and individualized digital banking experience for members, create new efficiencies and a seamless integration across all banking channels, and employ world-class security and identification features. “We were seeking technologies that allowed Cal Coast to stand out,” Moran said. “Our goal is to serve our members in a way that more authentically reflects our brand and our commitment to them. Kony DBX was the obvious choice for us. They stand apart in their ability to put us back in control of our innovation roadmap while allowing us to harness the full power of technology to best serve our members.”
“From Kony’s perspective, our job is to help financial institutions revolutionize digital banking services in a way that fits their unique brand. No two organizations are the same, so why should their digital banking look the same?” said Jeffery Kendall, senior vice president and general manager, Kony DBX. “Today, we are in an age where one-size-fits-all solutions are holding back financial institutions and preventing them from controlling their own destiny,” he said.
“We are especially looking forward to working with Cal Coast,” he said. “Their commitment to innovation – paired with their dedication to delivering superior customer service – makes them a great partner. Their in-house IT knowledge and capabilities will allow them to get the absolute maximum benefit from the many features and enhancements offered through Kony DBX. We look forward to being a part of their digital banking evolution – and to seeing them attract and retain an even higher number of members.”
