Narmi, a leading provider of digital banking solutions for financial institutions, today announced that Orion Financial, the Mid-South’s largest credit union, has gone live with Narmi Lend, extending its digital banking platform to give members a faster, more connected path to borrowing.
Orion Financial identified lending as a natural next step in its digital strategy. Members already rely on the credit union for everyday banking, and Orion Financial wanted to meet that same expectation for speed and simplicity when it comes to applying for and managing loans. Narmi Lend gives Orion Financial a unified experience that connects account opening, everyday banking, and lending in one place, rather than sending members to a separate system.
“Narmi Lend allows us to make borrowing faster, simpler and more intuitive for our members,” said Sinaed Kuntzman, Senior Vice President, Member Experience at Orion Financial. “By creating a more connected digital experience, we’re removing unnecessary friction while giving our team the tools to serve members more efficiently at every stage of the lending process.”
By bringing lending onto the Narmi One platform, Orion Financial can offer members a more streamlined application process while reducing manual work for staff. The integration is built on Narmi's existing relationship with Corelation Keystone, allowing member and account data to flow between systems without disrupting the credit union's core operations or requiring a separate reconciliation process.
"Lending is one of the most important relationships a credit union has with its members, and it should feel just as easy as everything else they do digitally," said Nikhil Lakhanpal, Co-Founder of Narmi. "Orion Financial is a great example of a credit union that understands its members expect one connected experience, not a patchwork of tools. We're proud to help them deliver that."
Orion Financial's go-live with Narmi Lend reflects a broader shift among credit unions to consolidate digital banking and lending under a single platform, reducing complexity for staff while giving members a more consistent experience across every touchpoint.
