30 Credit Unions Opt for Decision Time’s Innovative Governance Products
17,000-member Link CU is the company’s latest customer in the sector
Decision Time, an advanced company, has secured new contracts with a series of large credit unions across the island of Ireland.
The company, which now counts 30 credit unions as customers, most recently signed a deal with Link CU, the Cavan-based organisation that has almost 17,000 members. This follows other recent deals with Rathmore CU in Kerry and Naomh Breandan CU in Galway.
Decision Time’s customer base also includes one of the largest credit unions in Ireland, Dundalk CU, which has over 45,000 members and assets approaching €300m.
Credit Unions represent an important sector for Decision Time, which provides governance software that helps organisations run better meetings, manage risk and meet their strategic objectives.
There are over 250 credit unions in Ireland which have over 3.6 million members. Globally, this is one of the highest numbers of credit union members per head of population.
Geoff Higgins, Managing Director of Decision Time, said: “Good governance and risk management is clearly extremely important to credit unions in their role serving communities across the island. This has led to strong demand in the sector meaning that we now have 30 credit union customers, and we expect that number to double over the next year. This will include more credit unions in Ireland, but we are also in discussions with credit unions in England, Scotland and Wales where we believe there is very strong demand for the products that we provide.”
“We are very pleased to welcome Link CU as our newest credit union customer. Link CU became one of the larger credit unions in Ireland following the merger of three credit unions a few years ago and has shown a very strong commitment to ensuring good governance practices,”
Angela Rice, CEO, Link Credit Union, added: “We wanted a secure place for board members to access relevant documents as well as previous minutes and agendas, and Decision Time was a solution that really impressed us. I like how attendees can annotate meeting packs and documents and collaborate with others within a secure environment. It is also really good to have the option to manage risks on the platform as well.”
Outside of the credit union sector, Decision Time has organisations such as KPMG, Royal Mail, and HM Land Registry as customers. It also works with more than 80 housing association customers.
Earlier this month, Decision Time, headquartered in Antrim, became part of Advanced, one of the UK’s largest providers of business software and services with a £330m turnover, 25,000 customers and over 2,700 employees.
