Redstone Consulting Group

What Redstone Consulting Group does

Redstone Consulting Group (RCG) is a privately held software and consulting subsidiary of Redstone Federal Credit Union, headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama. The company historically built and sold a suite of proprietary software products targeted at credit unions, including the ACET Portal (an Automated Cybersecurity Examination Tool platform for NCUA cyber exam preparation), Electronic Lobby Manager (ELMO) for branch visit flow, Remote Deposit Capture (RDC), Skip-A-Pay loan processing automation, SSA Account Verification (VOD), My Virtual Strongbox secure document storage, and Reg-E compliance tracking integrated into the DNA Core banking platform.

RCG's technology was organized as a multi-product portfolio rather than a unified platform, with key integrations into DNA Core (Open Solutions/Fiserv) and partnership integrations with Virtual Strongbox, Leo Cyber Security, and Emergifi to extend its ACET exam-readiness capability. The company generated revenue historically through one-time software licenses and ongoing maintenance/support contracts sold to credit unions via direct sales; case studies cited operational outcomes for clients such as Redstone Federal Credit Union, VSECU, Veridian Credit Union, and Nuvision Federal Credit Union.

RCG's current business model is a managed run-off: in 2026 the company formally discontinued the sale of new software products and stopped accepting new clients, restricting operations to service maintenance and support for existing accounts delivered by a small client service team during standard business hours. Operating status remains active for existing clients, but the company shows no hiring, no new product investment, no funding activity, and no disclosed revenue.
