Eltropy, the leading digital communications platform for community financial institutions (CFIs), announced it has partnered with AKUVO, creator of Aperture, a cloud-based collections platform, to seamlessly embed Eltopy’s Texting capabilities into the Collections operations of credit unions and community banks. With the partnership, CFIs can now integrate Eltropy’s industry-leading Texting communication platform quickly and easily into Aperture, AKUVO’s modern, cloud-based Collection solution powered by data and analytics. “Integration between Eltropy and AKUVO’s Aperture will provide collectors with a powerful Texting platform to guide their account holders through a proactive, effective collections experience,” said Steve Castagna, Chief Revenue and Operating Officer at AKUVO. “We love that our two companies have a similar, visionary approach to using data and analytics to help improve the financial lives of the members of the credit union and banking customers we serve, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve together.” “One of our primary goals in 2023 is to build stronger integrations with vendors who have strengths in areas of need from our CFI customers, so we look forward to partnering with AKUVO who is making waves in the Collection industry with their Aperture platform,” said Jason Smith, VP of strategic partnerships at Eltropy. “Speaking for our customers, we expect the rate of contact for Collections teams to dramatically increase with this Eltropy-AKUVO partnership.”
