PLANO, Texas—Catalyst Corporate Federal Credit Union reported it is now offering a new “Checking with Benefits” program that is designed to create a rewarding experience for credit union members while simplifying, streamlining and strengthening credit unions’ checking programs.
Checking with Benefits will debut during Catalyst Corporate’s Accelerating Success Conference in Las Vegas on April 30-May 1.
“Checking with Benefits” is a rewards program that can make a credit union’s checking accounts more attractive to members and potential members, strengthen member engagement with the credit union, and generate fee income, according to Karen Coble, vice president of sales. Offered in conjunction with Nashville, Tenn.-based StrategyCorp, the product, called “BaZing” enhances a checking program with a “powerful menu of in-demand benefits, delivered by a mobile app that may be customized with the credit union’s own branding,” Catalyst Corporate said.
“Catalyst Corporate can assist a credit union in evaluating its existing checking program to determine profitability and appeal,” Coble said. With that information in hand, Catalyst Corporate can make recommendations for a tailored Checking with Benefits program that delights members, differentiates the institution in the marketplace and is enthusiastically promoted by front-line staff, she added.
Catalyst Corporate said that among the benefits that credit union members can use:
- Cell phone protection that can replace a broken or stolen phone.
- Twenty-four hour roadside assistance.
- Travel accident insurance.
- Personal identity theft protection, including assistance from a personal fraud specialist.
- Pharmacy, vision and hearing discounts to help members save money on prescriptions, eye exams, frames, lenses and hearing services
Catalyst Corporate added that through BaZing participating credit union members can also shop local and save local—taking advantage of 360,000 local and national retailer discounts to help save money on shopping, groceries, dining, travel and entertainment.
