Product Blueprint
CUBridge — an AI-powered member intelligence layer that sits on top of existing core banking systems (Symitar, Corelation, FiServ) used by credit unions, surfacing personalized loan offers, savings nudges, and churn risk alerts directly inside whatever digital banking platform the CU already runs — including Lumin.
Why it matters
Lumin's $200M raise signals consolidation pressure — smaller CU digital platforms will get acquired or lose clients, leaving thousands of credit unions needing to add intelligence on top of whatever platform survives. The core data APIs (Symitar REST, Corelation APIs) only became stable enough to build reliably on in the last 24 months.
Target user
VP of Digital or Chief Lending Officer at a credit union with $200M–$2B in assets running a commodity digital banking platform, frustrated that their platform gives members a transaction view but zero proactive financial guidance, costing them loan volume to fintechs like SoFi and Upgrade.
Go-to-market
Sign 3 CUs via direct outreach to CUNA Mutual's network and CUSO partnerships where the founder's HealPay payments relationships already open doors; MVP delivers one use case only — automated pre-approved HELOC offer triggered by deposit behavior, measurable in 90 days by loan pull-through rate; price it as $2 per member per year billed monthly so a 10,000-member CU is a $20K ACV deal that any VP can approve without a board vote.
