Bellwether Chooses ClickSwitch for account opening, switching

New Hampshire-based Bellwether Community Credit Union has chosen ClickSwitch, an automated state-of-the-art account-switching platform based in Minneapolis to assist members and potential members engage with the credit union.

ClickSwitch helps remove friction during the account opening process through an online portal or within the branch by switching existing automated debits and credits for the members to their Bellwether Community Credit Union account. The technology features instant account setup, direct deposit and bill pay transfer for a better onboarding experience, according to a press release.

"Bellwether is dedicated to improving the experience of new and existing members. Moving from a manual account opening process to the fully automated ClickSwitch platform was the best choice for us," Jeff Benson, COO of Bellwether Community Credit Union said in the release. "ClickSwitch provides us more operational efficiencies while making it easy for members to join the Bellwether family."

The addition of ClickSwitch comes with the launch of the credit union's MyMoney Account. This new transactional account includes fee forgiveness and early pay day.

"We are moving away from the traditional checking account and providing our members with a transactional account with the features they want," Benson added.
