New offerings demonstrate how Velera’s cloud-native ecosystem connects data, insights and activation across the credit union experience
Tampa, Fla. – Velera, the nation’s premier payments credit union service organization (CUSO) and an integrated financial technology solutions provider, today unveiled three data-first solutions powered by Stellaris and Atmos, the organization’s recently introduced next-generation technology stack and intelligence layer within the Velera Ecosystem, demonstrating how the ecosystem is being brought to life across analytics, connectivity and marketing engagement.
Spanning intelligence and analytics, data movement and marketing engagement, these solutions represent a connected approach to how credit unions can activate data across systems – accelerating innovation and enabling more seamless, end-to-end experiences. The announcement was made at the company’s VeleraLIVE event, taking place this week in Orlando, Fla.
“Atmos Exchange, Intelligence Point and our Marketing Engagement Platform are designed to advance how credit unions interact with and leverage data,” said Jeremiah Lotz, SVP, Enterprise Data & Experience Design at Velera. “For too long, analytics, connectivity and engagement have traditionally operated in separate layers, creating gaps between insight and execution. By bringing together these capabilities through Stellaris and Atmos, we’re helping financial institutions move beyond fragmented experiences to a more connected, intelligent system – one that not only surfaces insights, but helps turn them into meaningful action and measurable growth.”
