Mercury - Credit Union Core Software

Credit Union Solution Powering Small- to Mid-tier Credit Unions

Competing with larger financial institutions to attract and maintain members is no walk in the park these days. Members are demanding more and more services at little or no cost and your budget and staff are taxed to their limit. So, how can you afford the technology solution you need to attract and retain members? One word – Mercury. With Mercury − an open and integrated core processing solution developed exclusively for credit unions − your institution will be up for the challenge.

Mercury was built around industry standards utilizing Microsoft® tools and technologies featuring an SQL database as well as the .NET/C# and Visual Basic programming platforms – all providing increased ease of integration and expansion, plus powerful, affordable hardware solutions and simplified network connectivity. No customization is required, which results in a painless implementation and fewer performance issues. Sound interesting?

With Mercury, setup is not pre-defined; rather you can easily tailor your offerings to meet your unique needs. The solution’s scalability enables you to add new tellers, products, services, fee structures or GL accounts – even relocate an office, add a branch or upgrade your equipment – without the need for a large technical staff or vendor intervention (although we are always here to help when you need us).

From teller operations and deposit functions to lending management and EFT processing, Mercury delivers all the capabilities you need to manage your credit union operations and meet the ever-growing needs of your market. Mercury’s integrated branch-automation solution simplifies teller balancing, improves accuracy and speeds transaction processing for improved productivity and member service.
