MARKHAM, ON, OCTOBER 11, 2016 – Everlink Payment Services Inc. announced today the successful conversion of United Employees Credit Union to the Everlink payments processing environment. United Employees Credit Union brings over 4,000 members and 2 ATMs to Everlink.

As an added benefit due to its conversion to Everlink, United Employees Credit Union will be able to issue the latest in debit card technology – Interac Flash® – to all of its members, further preparing the credit union for the adoption of Mobile Payments in Canada. This is in addition to extending its leading payments innovations across all of its Lines of Business: Payment Network Gateway, ATM Managed Services, Card Issuance & Management, Fraud Management and Merchant Services.

Upon the Payments Strategy Committee’s announcement last fall selecting Everlink as the recommended switch provider for Canadian credit unions, numerous B.C. and Ontario based credit unions have chosen to make the transition. This has further cemented Everlink as the market leader in the provision of payments solutions to credit unions in Canada.

“We were initially drawn to Everlink as a result of the recommendation of the Payments Strategy Committee and the positive feedback from other credit unions,” says Greg Radwan, CEO of United Employees Credit Union. “We soon realized many of the long-term advantages of partnering with Everlink—even for a small credit union of our size. We are also delighted that our members will shortly see the immediate benefit of being able to use Interac Flash®.”

“It’s my pleasure to welcome United Employees Credit Union and their members to the Everlink client family,” says Mark Ripplinger, President & CEO at Everlink. “Moving forward together, the Everlink team and I are firmly committed to providing United Employees Credit Union with a client-centric approach, payments solutions innovation and top-tier operational performance.
