Pacific Service Credit Union and Lumin Digital | January 20, 2023
On January 19, 2023, Lumin Digital announced that it established a multi-year agreement with Pacific Service Credit Union (Pacific Service CU) in California to promote an improved online banking experience for the latter's almost 70,000 members and assets worth over $1 billion.
Lumin's cloud-based online and mobile digital banking platform, set to launch in October, will provide better safety, security features, and seamless digital integration. This would help Pacific Service CU develop tailored experiences by providing personalized suggestions such as spending insights, financial guidance, savings goals, and fraud warnings.
Michelle Shelor, Chief Operating Officer of Pacific Service Credit Union, stated, "At Pacific Service CU, we've built a strong reputation for providing world-class products and services for our members."

Lisa Daniels, Lumin Digital's Chief Delivery Officer, indicated that Pacific Service CU's members would benefit from the cooperation. In a recent digital-banking analysis from The Financial Brand, U.S. financial leaders foresee four themes for 2023, all of which are Lumin's focus - digital transformation, boosting data and analytics, streamlining the customer journey, and extending digital product and payment capabilities.
"Addressing these critical areas hasn't always led to predictable outcomes for financial institutions in the past," Lisa Daniels said. "Lumin's thoughtful approach, experienced implementation teams, and innovative technology stack simplify this process greatly - providing Pacific Service CU with the confidence, security, and engagement they deserve from their digital partner," she concluded.
