PRESS RELEASE

ANN ARBOR and EAST LANSING, Michigan, September 23, 2021 - Michigan State University Federal Credit Union (MSUFCU), the largest university-based credit union in the world, partners with Larky, a leader in community engagement technology, on the path to provide personalized experiences for over 300,000 members.

Empowering financial institutions with innovative technology

Michigan State University Federal Credit Union is at the forefront of introducing the latest technology to traditional financial institutions. In 2020, they established "The Lab," which works as a proving ground for ideas. The Lab fosters partnerships with fintech startups while training MSUFCU's own team to work with new products. This process is unique because it creates a smooth transition from idea to implementation while forging deep connections with innovative companies.

The Larky Nudge® engagement platform fit perfectly into this incubation model and led to the Ann Arbor-based company becoming an innovation partner.

"We are looking forward to finding unique ways to incorporate Larky, a Michigan-based business, to enhance our member experience." says Ami Iceman-Haueter, AVP of Research and Digital Experience at MSUFCU.

On the path to personalization

Larky's solutions help engage account holders with one-to-one communications when it matters most. Tailored push notifications are designed to direct account holders to products and services that are best fit for their unique situations. The Larky Nudge® platform will integrate with MSUFCU's existing mobile application and adds high-impact new functionality to deliver value to all members of the ecosystem.

"MSUFCU is an established leader in leveraging technology to deliver exceptional member experiences. We are thrilled to partner with them to enhance member communications and strengthen relationships between the credit union and its members," says Gregg Hammerman, CEO of Larky.

The partnership between MSUFCU and Larky unlocks new possibilities for personalizing the credit union's services. It also proves MSUFCU's The Lab to be a success in the larger trend of traditional financial institutions embracing digital innovations.
