PRESS RELEASE
Pennsylvania State Employees' Credit Union Validates CrediSphere's® Value Proposition
Fairport, New York -- September 9, 2003 -
X/Net Associates, Inc. (X/Net) today announced that Pennsylvania State Employees' Credit Union (PSECU), a $2.1 billion asset credit union with over 283 thousand members throughout the country, has experienced an 81% increase in underwriting decision efficiency and a 115% increase in one-day turnaround of consumer automobile loans since converting to CrediSphere for all of their consumer loan processing needs.
In production since January 2003, PSECU has leveraged several optional components within CrediSphere to fully automate and streamline many ancillary manual processes directly within CrediSphere's workflow. PSECU reports that nearly one-third of all applications are now being received and processed after hours. Most importantly, CrediSphere has facilitated these improvements without additional staff requirements.
CrediSphere's unique design and best-in-class features are ideally suited for companies needing an enterprise-class credit origination system that will support their lending requirements from data entry through qualification, notification, closing and document delivery. In addition, CrediSphere allows for the integration of multiple data sources while reducing total cost of ownership.
"As one of the most forward looking institutions in the nation, we have been honored to have PSECU as a trusted and loyal customer for many years. Our relationship has flourished in part because we both share a keen eye toward innovation and a pioneering spirit," said Gregg Olin, CEO and President of X/Net. “PSECU's efficiency gains are most impressive when one realizes that CrediSphere replaced a series of highly automated systems and processes in one of the most efficient lending centers in the country.”
"CrediSphere has facilitated our planned increase in our productivity. The efficiency gains allow us to offer products like the 30-second loan which simply translate into superior member service and savings,” said William Zysk, Vice President of Credit Services for PSECU. “We are very pleased with the gains we have realized through the use of CrediSphere for Consumer Lending. Our ability to serve our members when they are available is of the utmost importance to PSECU.”
