April 16, 2025 | Toronto, Canada | Petoskey, Michigan | Tomball, Texas

After meeting for the first time, one year ago at the NACUSO conference in Kissimmee, Florida, ASAPP and Janusea are excited to announce at this year’s NACUSO conference in Las Vegas, the formation of a new strategic partnership.

When ASAPP’s bank.io OXP® | Omnichannel Experience Platform Version 1.0 launches in the United States this summer, it will leverage Janusea’s fully hosted and supported, secure integration translation platform that facilitates effortless connections with multiple core banking systems. 

“ASAPP is very excited to partner with the team at Janusea to leverage their extensive experience and expertise in helping fintechs and credit unions establish critical connections with core banking systems. This strategic partnership will allow our Platform including both our origination and bi-directional core-banking integrated CRM feature sets to be ready for implementation,” noted JR Pierman, President & CEO, ASAPP Financial Technology. “From our initial meeting to our newly formed partnership, it’s been a great journey, and both of our teams are very passionate about how we can support our credit union Client-Partners through this new partnership!”.

The team at Janusea and ASAPP’s Platform Development team will leverage both Janusea’s proprietary capabilities and extensive experience along with ASAPP’s uniCORE unified core banking connection engine to build initial connections between Jack Henry Symitar, Fiserv DNA, and Correlation Keystone core banking systems and ASAPP Financial Technology’s bank.io OXP® | Omnichannel Experience Platform. 

“Our team is proud to partner with the team at ASAPP to support their US launch and help them continue to deliver on their vision of supporting credit unions as they compete against direct-to-consumer fintechs,” said Kyle Stutzman, CEO of Janusea. “Our shared commitment to empowering credit unions drives us to create and foster collaboration like this strategic partnership with ASAPP to ultimately help the credit union movement support their members and communities.”

Joint development activities will be kicking off immediately as the teams are aligned for the upcoming bank.io OXP® US launch across this summer.

CU Broadcast Episode with Kyle Stutzman: What Credit Unions Can Learn from the Synapse Collapse

Janusea’s CEO Kyle Stutzman returned to the show for an insightful discussion on today’s regulatory questions, risks, and vendor relationships – using the recent Synapse collapse as an example.

He highlighted how Janusea collaborates with fintechs focused on enhancing credit union services, adding members, and improving access for employees and members.
