Freedom 1st Credit Union Selects COCC as New Core Processing Provider

September 2016, Southington, Conn. – Freedom 1st Credit Union, located in Dayton, Ohio, has selected COCC as their new provider for core processing services.

Founded in 1961, the $33M non-profit, member-owned financial cooperative has three branches in Ohio and has dedicated its business to providing a safe and convenient place to save and borrow money. They plan to upgrade to COCC’s INSIGHT system to support their more than 6,000 members. “It was time for Freedom 1st to bring a more robust system into the credit union as we continue to grow, and we feel COCC will be an integral part of our growth,” said Deborah DeVous, CEO and Manager. “COCC’s system will give us access to many new features and enhancements that we were not able to utilize in the past.”

The credit union is similar to COCC as the business is owned by its members. COCC and Freedom 1st operate with comparable standards and have parallel core values, which resonated deeply with the credit union. DeVous says, “In just the short two months since beginning to work with COCC, I’ve already built a relationship that I feel is genuine on a professional level and personal level. We were given a wonderful reference from a financial technology company and other financial institutions on the COCC system. The pieces just all fell together.”

“We are thrilled to be expanding our reach in the Ohio area, as well as the chance to work with another credit union,” said Richard A. Leone, President & CEO of COCC. “Our best-in-class products and services and our flexible system are perfectly catered to the needs of these community-oriented institutions, and it is truly a pleasure to partner with them.”
