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. Kyle addressed what credit unions can learn from Synapse’s bankruptcy and discussed the concerns surrounding banking-as-a-service and fintech partnerships. He highlighted how Janusea collaborates with fintechs focused on enhancing credit union services, adding members, and improving access for employees and members. This approach contrasts with fintechs that use credit unions or banks to build their customer base and directly offer banking services, thereby competing with credit unions. Kyle also shared insights on how risk profiles vary for Janusea’s credit unions and how different fintech business models impact financial institution risk.

Cypress, TX, April 2, 2024 – Janusea, provider of seamless and secure integrations to credit union core systems, is pleased to announce its strategic partnership with BankingON, the developers of the family banking platform Boucoup. By becoming a Janusea platform partner, BankingON will be able to expedite the implementation process and ensure the utmost integrity and reliability of banking core integrations.
“Our partnership with Jausea is going to boost the scale and reliability of the Boucoup platform,” said Alexey Krasnoriadtsev, CEO at BankingON. “Those who have experience working on core platforms understand the difficulties that come with interfacing a product with multiple cores. With Janusea, we can focus on improving the Boucoup product, bringing value to teenagers and their parents, and in some sense allows us to be core agnostic.”
The Boucoup digital mobile banking application platform will provide credit unions with a solution that grows their minor accounts, helps its members build confidence in the financial system, and even graduates them when they turn 18. As such, this partnership allows BankingON to deliver a platform which maintains memberships within the credit union’s core and builds brand familiarity.
Since Janusea shoulders the burden of core integrations for credit unions and fintechs alike, this partnership gives BankingON the ability to normalize otherwise disparate member data across many cores.
“Especially in the case of our fintech partners,” said Janusea’s CEO Kyle Stutzman, “Janusea’s main purpose is to let companies like BankingON be innovative. There is already a high barrier to entry within the financial industry. So, not having to worry about how your product is going to unify its integrations from customer to customer, opens a lot of doors and possibilities.”
By leveraging Janusea’s game-changing integration solution, Boucoup provides parents with the chance to instill sound financial habits in their children. This is achieved through securely overseeing money management using a cutting-edge mobile app seamlessly integrated into the credit union experience.
