COCC and AKUVO Advance the Future of Intelligent Collections

COCC, a leading provider of core banking technology and services for community banks and credit unions, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with AKUVO, a provider of cloud-native, AI-driven collections and credit risk technology.

As collections grow more complex for community financial institutions, having the right tools in place is increasingly critical. Through this partnership, COCC clients gain access to AKUVO’s Intelligent Collections platform, a purpose-built solution that enables teams to more effectively manage portfolios, strengthen delinquency management, improve recovery outcomes, and streamline collections operations.

“We believe our clients achieve their best outcomes when they have the right technology behind them” said Elizabeth Caplan, SVP, Chief Transformation Officer at COCC. “By adding AKUVO to our ecosystem, we’re giving them a powerful and efficient way to approach collections while staying focused on serving their communities.”

AKUVO combines AI-driven automation, intelligent workflows, and multi-channel engagement to give collections teams greater visibility and control across the lifecycle. Designed to reduce friction in both adoption and day-to-day operations, helping institutions move quickly from evaluation to results.

“Community banks and credit unions place a high level of trust in COCC, and that trust carries real weight,” said Mike Ruggiero, EVP of Product and Partner Strategy at AKUVO. “When a COCC client chooses AKUVO, they benefit from a collaborative partnership and a well-integrated experience that helps accelerate time to value.”

Together, COCC and AKUVO give community financial institutions a strong foundation for managing one of the industry’s most pressing challenges, combining trusted core expertise with modern collections technology to help clients grow with confidence.
