Success Stories
Today’s community financial institutions are increasingly adept at adapting to today’s changing financial services industry. With new technologies, more advanced customer needs and more opportunities for banking online and on mobile, community banks are looking for ways to innovate while retaining and attracting customers.
COCC works with community financial institutions to adapt as well. COCC’s open core system and flexible, extensible technologies are perfectly poised to not only help community banks stay open, but to help them flourish and grow even in times of change. COCC helps to keep the lights on at your local financial institution. Here are some of the ways how:
Growth Fueled by Technological Prowess
LUSO Federal Credit Union’s foresight and partnership with COCC ensured they already had a robust digital product portfolio in place, including a suite of digital solutions like digital and mobile banking, remote deposit capture, and bill pay.
Making an Impression with Marketing Services
For over 75 years, the bank has remained close to its neighborhood roots, supporting local residents, farmers and small business owners. In an effort to better reach and engage with their community, Sherwood State Bank explored how the institution could maximize its marketing potential to do just that.
Growing with Technology
As New England’s oldest private bank, National Iron Bank has been serving its Connecticut communities since 1847—and evolving to meet its needs. With a digital-first approach to banking for both its employees and customers, National Iron Bank’s philosophy has yielded significant results for the bank.
Building Business with RTP®
When COCC announced they were taking The Clearing House’s (TCH) Real Time Payments (RTP®) Network live, BankNewport immediately stepped up to the plate. “We saw it as a rare opportunity to get in on something early,” said John Sullivan, Executive Vice President at BankNewport.

COCC developed its Digital SBA PPP Loan App to allow clients to accept and process PPP loan applications at no cost to its clients.

Using APIs to Reach a Nationwide Community

Security Operations Center: Above & Beyond Continuous Monitoring
Providing this level of additional service is indicative of the partnership COCC maintains with its clients, taking the extra step to ensure those institutions remain safe and secure.
Growing More Dynamic with iWorkstation & Hosted SOC
“COCC has provided tools and resources to us, such as enterprise servers, enterprise backup, and Security Operations Center, that would have been cost prohibitive if we were to try and bring these tools into the bank independent of COCC.”
A Unified Approach to Banking
