Akcelerant Framework Selected by Nation's Largest Cuso

MALVERN, PENNSYLVANIA – PSCU Financial Services has signed on to implement Akcelerant’s industry-leading collection software powered by the Akcelerant Framework.  The cooperative currently conducts collections for credit card accounts, but Akcelerant’s software will enable PSCU Financial Services to handle collections for a variety of product lines. The cooperative will implement the new software this summer and is expected to expand its collections portfolio in the fourth quarter.

The Akcelerant Framework for collections provides customizable collection management tools and a powerful workflow and analysis engine that integrates to host data processors and service providers—creating a highly efficient environment. Akcelerant is the leading provider of collection management technology to the credit union industry and has strong business partnerships with the industry’s core processing providers. More than 400 financial institutions use software from Akcelerant.

“We are very pleased to have been selected by PSCU Financial Services, the nation’s largest CUSO, to help the cooperative maximize all the advantages of our collections platform. We believe this will add tremendous value to our current customer base as we expand our knowledge and opportunities by further integration with PSCU Financial Services,” said Jay Mossman, President & CEO, Akcelerant.

PSCU Financial Services currently conducts 450,000 outbound calls each month to service delinquent credit card accounts.

“This software will upgrade our capabilities so that we are able to offer collections for a variety of different financial products, which is an important service for our member credit unions. It will also allow us to import data from multiple sources and will facilitate and expedite the collections workflow, including analysis and reporting,” said David J. Serlo, President, PSCU Financial Services.
