With an increased need for digital member assistance during COVID-19, BCU’s IT team became
integral in supporting frontline and operational needs across the business by ensuring anytime,
anywhere access to digital banking channels and 24/7member support. At the same time, the team
seamlessly transitioned more than 650 employees to safely work from home within two weeks,
expediting the distribution of new equipment, backed with the financial support of Credit Union
leadership. Working tirelessly, the team simultaneously executed a core banking system upgrade
that brought enhanced stability to BCU’s internal environment. The success of this critical
work allowed for the flawless merger of 20,000 new members, the largest in BCU’s
history.
“The IT landscape is hugely competitive, and the culture of our organization is why people
stick around,” said Zulpo. “Our team is comprised of some of the best talent in the
industry. Together, it’s remarkable what the ZTB organization has achieved throughout the
past year and the value we are able to deliver to our members.”
