In an era where innovation drives the financial industry forward, a Midwest credit union recognized the need to modernize its operations. To adapt to the changing landscape of the financial industry, they partnered with Ascend to choose Salesforce Financial Services Cloud (FSC) as their source of truth.
FSC is a powerful solution uniquely tailored to the evolving needs of financial institutions in a time where the industry prioritizes customer-centricity and data-driven decision-making.

CHALLENGES
Like many in the industry, this credit union faced a set of significant challenges. First and foremost, they lacked an internal Salesforce team with the expertise to navigate the complexities of FSC.
