SASKATOON, March 27, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Sun Community Federal Credit Union--the largest credit union headquartered in Imperial County, California--has just partnered with Coconut Software to transform member experience at its branches by offering a more streamlined appointment experience. Its new Indio branch has been designed as a vibrant, open-concept cafe, and to match this modern approach to financial services they've implemented new appointment management technology from Coconut Software to offer a fresh, customer-focused experience for members while improving branch efficiency.

"With this initiative we're taking to expand and evolve our branches, enabling members with the option to independently book and manage their own appointments online is a key step in our plan to improve their experience," says Patsy Ramirez, Sun Community Brand Experience Manager. "We plan to roll out this new concept at our Coachella branches initially and we anticipate that new membership in these key areas will grow."

Chief Revenue Officer at Coconut Software, Mark Ramsay, corroborates that the majority of credit unions across North America are midway through digitally transforming their business model, and that this is only possible with the right technology partnerships.

"Improving the member experience by better connecting digital and in-person touchpoints is a key driver for many of our clients who are investing in appointment management," shares Mark Ramsay, Chief Revenue Officer. "Coconut Software is the preferred appointment solution for banks and credit unions looking to evolve and we look forward to helping SCFCU reach their goals and continue growing their business."
