BATON ROUGE, La. – May 19, 2009
Pelican State Credit Union Joins Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ AppOne Platform

BATON ROUGE, La. – May 19, 2009 – AppOne, a part of Wolters Kluwer Financial Services, announced today that Louisiana-based Pelican State Credit Union has joined its credit union platform.

AppOne helps Pelican State Credit Union connect with auto, marine and RV dealerships in Louisiana to provide financing options for their customers. AppOne offers technology and risk mitigation services, as well as compliant loan documentation, that allows credit unions to expedite the loan process and help ensure that the dealerships they do business with are meeting industry regulations.

“As Pelican State Credit Union continues to grow, we remain committed to providing innovative products and services that meet the changing needs of our member base,” said Jeff Conrad, CEO at Pelican State Credit Union. “AppOne provides a solution that automates the indirect lending process, helping us serve existing and potential members, while easing the challenges related to regulatory compliance.”

“Many consumers are in need of financing when making a vehicle, boat or RV purchase, but with some lenders tightening credit, they don’t know where to turn,” said Lee Domingue, CEO of AppOne. “Building our network of credit unions allows dealerships to gain access to more financing options for their customers, which can ultimately help them sell more cars, RVs and boats.”
