CMC is pleased to announce the FLEX System’s entrance into four new states beginning in West Virginia. CEO and former West Virginia State Examiner David Rice selected the FLEX System for Morgantown AES Federal Credit Union. Soon to follow were credit union’s in the states of Iowa, Wisconsin and Ohio.

Estherville, Iowa serves as home to Employees Credit Union. CEO Mark Peters, along with his most technically adept board member, qualified several systems before arriving at FLEX. Nevertheless, prior to making their final decision to go with FLEX, both credit union representatives wanted to be absolutely certain that FLEX was indeed the right choice.

Rather than visit only a single credit union using FLEX, they elected to register for a FLEX regional user’s conference at the invitation of their CMC sales representative Todd Chytraus. In their view, the opportunity to interview dozens of FLEX Credit Unions from varying parts of the country during a user’s conference was ideal.

Following the conference, Mr. Peters remarked that they spoke with as many FLEX users as possible. Aiding their objective, attendees assumed our guests were one of them – a FLEX credit union client. “The experience was genuine, there was a real sense of family which is just what you hope for in this industry,” reported Mr. Peters. The experience served to reaffirm their prior intuition – indeed, FLEX was the right choice for the Employees Credit Union.

Shipbuilders Credit Union of Manitowoc, Wisconsin was the first to select the FLEX System in the Badger State. CEO Mike Steimle and his three member committee searched far and wide, traveling on separate trips to Arizona, Louisiana and Texas in search of the right system. Without a single dissenting vote, the committee’s unanimous selection was FLEX.

Most recently, Ohio makes its debut with the FLEX System in Painesville at the LCE Federal Credit Union. With recent investments in their main office facilities, newly hired CEO Anita Walters set out to complete her progressive agenda for change by searching for a new core solution with the formation of a three member committee.

Reviewing several different systems installed at other area credit unions in Northeast Ohio, the committee entertained the FLEX System with an on-site demonstration. Intrigued by its rich features and operational simplicity, the committee drove to Buffalo, New York for a FLEX site visit. After narrowing their choice to two vendors, the committee met to render its final decision. Ms. Walters described the event: “we all sat down, looked at each other and with conviction, one by one said, FLEX, FLEX and FLEX. Clearly, the best solution was FLEX. It was that simple, end of story.”

Today, the FLEX System services over 265 credit unions located in 43 states and the Caribbean. We at CMC wish to express our gratitude to these and the many other credit unions who have recently selected FLEX as their core solution. We look forward to our future partnership and welcome all of these credit unions into our FLEX family.
