Regional credit union with $4.4B in assets modernizing core banking and data infrastructure
Consumers Credit Union operates a 501–1,000-person credit union serving 276,000+ members across Illinois with $4.4 billion in assets. The tech stack reflects a hybrid modernization pattern: legacy banking systems (Encompass, Active Directory, UKG Pro) paired with newer data-stack tools (Snowflake, Databricks, Domo, Power BI) and active adoption of nCino for lending workflow automation. Hiring skews heavily toward operations and finance (15 of 25 roles), with concurrent investments in data infrastructure (enterprise data warehouse, ETL for AI-ready data) and loan-loss mitigation—indicating a push toward both operational efficiency and risk analytics.
