Two companies deliver digital payments that deepen member engagment, improve member experience

March 9, 2023 – Collabria Financial, Canada’s largest B2B2C digital credit payments issuer, has renewed its long-time partnership with Co-op Solutions for Full-Service Credit processing.

“It’s our promise to deliver flexible and reliable credit payments solutions that foster improved member experiences, translating into sustainable long-term value for our credit union partners,” said Jean-Marc Handfield, CEO, Collabria. “The continued partnership with Co-op equips Collabria to move forward with our relentless pursuit to support our partners in their evolution within the payments industry.”

Handfield sees credit as a critical payments product for credit unions as they support the modern member journey. “Digital solutions that are flexible and trustworthy foster improved member experiences,” he said. “As our clients evolve their payments strategies to deepen active member engagement, we need to bring advanced processing power to the table.
