Corporate Central Credit Union

What Corporate Central Credit Union does

Corporate Central Credit Union is a federally insured corporate credit union — a credit union for credit unions — founded in 1947 and headquartered in Muskego, Wisconsin, serving 396+ member credit unions across the Midwest and nationwide. The organization provides correspondent banking services spanning liquidity solutions (lines of credit, settlement loans, fixed- and variable-rate term loans, Letters of Credit, FRB Discount Window and Central Liquidity Facility access), investment products (SimpliCD, corporate certificates, Perpetual Contributed Capital accounts, broker-dealer solutions), payment processing (ACH, wires, item processing, cash management), and member lending programs (student loans via ISL Education Lending). It is governed as a member-owned cooperative under NCUA oversight and reports the strongest capital ratios among U.S. corporate credit unions.

The company's core technology is Beastro, a next-generation, all-in-one digital platform built from the ground up with an Open API that integrates with all major credit union core systems. Beastro centralizes ACH origination and processing (with direct Federal Reserve integration), wire transfers, cash management, investment management, lending, and business verification (including KYB with liveness detection). Recent module additions include ACH Fraud Scanning (June 2026, powered by Advanced Fraud Solutions' TrueACH consortium) and Wire Analytics. The platform processes $1B+ in daily ACH volume, 289,784+ ACH transactions per day, and 57,000,000+ transactions annually, with $196M+ in daily money transfers logged. Two wholly-owned CUSOs extend the platform surface: QuantyPhi delivers balance-sheet optimization services including the ALM360 unified platform (ALM modeling, CECL validation, liquidity analysis, forecasting) and SimpliCD; InterLutions provides employee benefits, collaborative health plans, HR solutions, and partnerships with Strategic Resource Management and Ncontracts for revenue enhancement and vendor management.

Corporate Central earns revenue through a three-tiered membership model (Full Level with full capital contribution and complete service access; Partner Level with reduced capital requirements; Correspondent Services Level at a $25 deposit with no capital requirement), supplemented by transaction and processing fees on ACH, wires, and item processing, lending interest income from credit facilities extended to member credit unions, and investment returns on member capital accounts, SimpliCD, and corporate certificates. Distribution is primarily direct relationship-led sales to credit union executives (in-person, virtual, and phone meetings, industry events such as the annual Momentum conference, and league sponsorships), supplemented by a self-service PLG channel via the Beastro platform and CUSO partner channels. The organization employs 51-100 staff, is led by President/CEO Chris Felton (2026 Credit Union House Hall of Leaders inductee), and is governed by a volunteer board of directors from member credit unions.
