The problem

Your growth problem isn't demand. It's what happens after someone chooses you.

Applicants quit the application, new accounts never fund, and single-product relationships drift to the bank or fintech that made it easy. You paid to win every one of them.

Attract

The right people choose someone else

44%

of new checking accounts opened in 2024 went to neobanks. Credit unions won 5%.

And fraud gets through the same gaps. About half of credit unions and 40% of banks saw fraud losses rise in 2025, and first-party fraud is now more than 40% of losses.

Today

Members and customers start over every time they need something new.

A new account, online banking, a loan. Each one asks them to re-enter what you already have, so applications get abandoned and loans leak before funding.

Every restart is a place to lose them.

We understand. For more than a decade, Cotribute has helped credit unions and community banks turn applicants into members and customers, and accounts into engaged relationships.

With Cotribute

Keep members and customers moving forward, not starting over.

Cotribute connects account opening, loan applications and onboarding with the systems you already run. Connected handoffs carry available information and application status between supported systems, helping members and customers take the next step instead of beginning again. Your core, LOS and digital banking stay in place.

Close the handoff. Keep the relationship moving.

Attract
A member or customer arrives with a need.
Open
Begin an account or loan application; connected handoffs carry available information and status.
Onboard
Help them take the next step, including account funding and digital banking enrollment where supported.
Grow
Help the relationship continue with the next relevant product.

An account opened is the beginning. Onboarding helps members and customers put it to use; connected follow-up helps the relationship grow when their next need arrives.

No core, LOS or digital banking replacement.

The platform

Start with your most urgent need. Add modules as you grow.
