Deseret First Credit Union Selects A New Platform To Increase Average Products Per Member

Credit union leveraging the Digital Onboarding engagement platform to deepen relationships with auto loan holders and other members

Boston, MA (March 23, 2022) – Deseret First Credit Union, with more than 72,000 members and $922 million in assets, selected the award-winning Digital Onboarding engagement platform to deliver personalized experiences that motivate members to turn to the credit union as additional financial needs arise.

The credit union previously leveraged a combination of generic emails, website pages, and mailers to onboard new members, but the program had low engagement rates. The approach was not reaching the desired results at building personalized relationships at scale or increasing the average number of products per member.

“Deseret First Credit Union offers a full suite of financial products and services,” said Brennan Wall, Chief Marketing Officer, Deseret First Credit Union. “We want our members to turn to us when they buy a house, want a credit card, or need another financial product. With the Digital Onboarding engagement platform, we can deliver highly personalized communications and experiences that convert.”

The Digital Onboarding engagement platform triggers email and text messages that connect members with personalized microsites that make it easy to adopt digital banking services and additional products. Credit union executives recently named Digital Onboarding the winner in the Digital category for CreditUnion.com’s fifth-annual Innovation Series.

“When someone applies for an auto loan with a credit union, they often choose the institution for a great rate, not because they want a new place to bank,” said Ted Brown, CEO, Digital Onboarding. “On average, one-third of members will turn to a competing financial institution when additional needs arise. Credit unions need a more sophisticated way to reach members before they shop around. I am thrilled to partner with Deseret First Credit Union to build deep and long-lasting member relationships.”
