The credit union offers the benefits of membership to school teachers and other education employees, students and their families, and select employee groups for most of northeastern Oklahoma’s counties.
TTCU was sending the bulk of their alert correspondence on paper through the postal system. The printing and mailing, which was being fulfilled through a third-party vendor, was costing approximately $15,000 per month. The credit union had some aspect of electronic alerts, but they were being batched and sent at intervals throughout the day, which was less than desirable in an ‘instant’ world.
“The original intent was to try to get our arms around the cost of printing and mailing all of our notices.

We altered the scope of the project adding the Cubus Alerts system to the plan,” said Dan Bowling, Chief Information Officer with TTCU.
The Cubus Solution: AlertsThe Cubus Alerts solution lets a credit union automatically set up alerts they deem as important and necessary including regulatory compliance type messages, and also lets members set-up alerts such as debit card activity, account balance thresholds, loan payment reminders and much more. Members customize alert preferences such as when account balances go above or below a certain level, how many times a day to receive alerts, setup multiple email and mobile addresses and more. In addition, it provides another vehicle for marketing to members at practicallyno cost per impression, personally speaking to members while subtly marketing credit union services, and effectively cross-selling and up-selling without the cost of paper and postage.
By eliminating the paper, printing and mailing, TTCU has seen the volume of printing, which wasapproximately 37,000 pieces monthly, go down to one tenth of that number or approximately 3,000 pieces per month.
“Low balance, negative balance, transfer due to overdraft, regulation D and all the other things we needed to do with paper we were able to accomplish with the Cubus Alerts,” said Bowling.
TTCU was able to automatically enroll its 30,000 online banking members into a set of alerts when it rolled out the Cubus Alerts in October 2014.
