CARMEL, Ind., Feb. 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Baker Hill, a leading financial technology provider in delivering solutions for loan origination, risk management and analytics, today announced that Educational Federal Credit Union has selected Baker Hill NextGen^®Omnichannel Marketing.

To further drive membership growth and deepen relationships with existing and prospective members, Educational Federal Credit Union (EdFed) has partnered with Baker Hill and will leverage the company's NextGen^®Omnichannel Marketing solution. EdFed, the credit union for educators, students, and their families, has served the educational community since 1935. With affordable financial products and quality service solutions, EdFed provides membership benefits to the employees and students of Miami-Dade County Public Schools and Miami Dade College, as well members affiliated with other educational-focused groups.

EdFed specifically sought to expand existing member relationships by deepening lending and deposit product participation, while also acquiring new members through increased awareness of the EdFed brand. The credit union chose to partner with Baker Hill because of their extensive expertise in financial services marketing and consultative approach. Baker Hill's proven ability to leverage data, recommend growth goals, as well as develop, execute and track omnichannel marketing campaigns helped distinguish Baker Hill's solution from others in the market.

Baker Hill NextGen^®Omnichannel Marketing integrates all of the credit union's data, eliminating silos and incomplete information to provide a full picture of marketing and cross-sell opportunities, as well as campaign performance.
