Problem
Many credit union members carry high-interest credit card debt, costing them significant amounts in annual interest and fees. Financial institutions often lack effective tools to identify members struggling with credit card debt and offer them tailored solutions. This results in missed opportunities to improve members' financial well-being and strengthen the institution's relationship with its customer base.
Solution
Nickels provides a platform that enables credit unions to assess their members' financial situations and offer personalized solutions to reduce high-cost credit card debt. The platform's CardFit feature helps acquire new members by demonstrating potential savings with the credit union's cards. The Checking Account Analysis tool identifies existing members carrying competitor credit card debt, allowing the credit union to proactively offer balance transfers or other debt consolidation options. By providing targeted interventions, Nickels helps credit unions improve their members' financial health and foster stronger customer loyalty.
