Update from Digital Onboarding co-founder, Ted Brown:  Why I hired my mentor to be CEO

The past several months at Digital Onboarding have been extraordinary. Since the New Year started, we have announced a $58M capital raise from Volition Capital, surpassed 150 valued financial institution customers, and added key talent to our remarkable team across a wide array of disciplines. Thinking back to the 2017 Salesforce Dreampitch Competition win that provided the initial capital needed to keep the business going, I’m amazed at how far we’ve come toward our mission of helping financial institutions build deep and lasting relationships.

As we continue to seize the opportunity in front of us, I am thrilled to share that I will be moving into the Executive Chairman role, where I will get to focus on the areas I’m most passionate about, including long term strategy and evangelism of our mission.

We knew we could make much swifter progress by adopting the Digital Onboarding platform. It is purpose-built for financial institutions, and we are thrilled!”

MassMutual FCU Will Fully Automate New Member and Cross Sell Communications With the Digital Onboarding Platform

“Our team has been relying on an email platform to communicate with members but the process is quite manual and inefficient,” said Chris Brown, Chief Operations Officer, MassMutual FCU. “With the Digital Onboarding platform, we can stay ahead of the curve by automatically triggering SMS and email messages that link to personalized, step-by-step digital guides that help members take advantage of our full suite of products and services. Even better, the platform will free up time that we can allocate to other strategic projects.”

The Digital Banking Report and J.D. Power found that the easiest and most immediate form of communication, SMS text, is both the most impactful on satisfaction and also the least used.

​“It is inspiring to partner with a credit union that embraces a truly modern approach to communicating with its members,” said Ted Brown, CEO, Digital Onboarding, Inc. “We are thrilled to help MassMutual FCU deepen member relationships while increasing efficiencies through automation.”​

“Financial institutions, especially credit unions, that ignore the Digital Transformation imperative risk becoming obsolete and irrelevant in the eyes of their members,” said Brown. “MassMutual FCU is committed to being at the forefront of digital transformation and offering our members the experience they deserve.”
