44 THE NAFCU JOURNAL July–August 2021 CUNA Mutual Group for Stronger Together ■ A platform to demonstrate CUNA Mutual Group’s passion and commit- ment to helping people (employees, customers, partners and communities) stay healthy and safe during times of crisis and well beyond. With one strong message, this campaign helped bring a sense of calm to an otherwise cha- otic situation. DDJ Myers for Virtual Emerging Leaders Program ■ The program provides emerging lead- ers with the learning, community, and tools necessary to cultivate, nurture and act on their potential as rising executives. The award-winning Emerg- ing Leaders Program had been deliv- ered annually since 2013; due to the global pandemic and continued high demand, the program was redesigned to be exclusively delivered virtually. DefenseStorm for CyberFraud ■ The only fraud defense solution built for banking to deliver complete cyber safety and soundness to its credit union customers. It provides an integrated solution for Information Security and BSA/AML Fraud departments in a single platform. FIS for Premium Payback ■ A fully integrated loyalty platform designed to address the retailer’s need to acquire more members and the financial institution’s need for their card to be “top-of-wallet” by letting the consumer’s utilize their reward benefits on everyday spending without friction or hassle. Velocity Solutions for Account Revenue Solution™ ■ Allows credit unions to leverage big data and digital strategies to more successfully onboard new accounts, engage members, boost transactional activity and encourage cross-selling with the goal of increasing a CU’s non-interest income and to establish the credit union as their members’ primary financial institution. Wolters Kluwer for TSoftPlus ■ Enables PPP loan forgiveness applica- tions with digital tools such as e-signa- ture functionality that advances lenders’ capabilities and eliminates the need for in-person PPP transactions. Wolters Kluwer’s acquisition in later 2020 of eOriginal, which offers a digital loan platform that enables SBA electronic signature for digital loans, further enhanced the solution’s capabilities.
