Corporate One Federal Credit Union announced today that it successfully completed 71 new connections to the RTP® network or FedNow® Service through its Third-Party Service Provider (TPSP) solution in 2025. Of the 71 new connections, 49 credit unions launched on the RTP network and 22 were connected to the FedNow Service, reinforcing Corporate One’s role as a leading partner for faster payments access across the credit union industry. With nearly 150 total RTP and FedNow connections, representing 117 credit unions, Corporate One continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of payments for credit unions of all sizes. 
​
“Immediate payments aren’t just about speed—they’re about possibility. Every new connection represents a credit union saying yes to innovation and yes to its members. Together, we’re building a future where financial access is swift, secure, and strategic,” President and CEO Melissa Ashley said. “We focus on removing complexity so credit unions can move money faster, remain competitive, ensure greater transparency, and offer more meaningful digital experiences.” 

A Proven Partner for Both Payment Rails 
Corporate One serves as a certified TPSP on the RTP network and a service provider for the FedNow Service, supporting credit unions with assets from $3 million to $19 billion. This range reflects Corporate One’s ability to deliver turnkey implementations in as little as 45 to 60 days across nine core processing platforms (reaching more than 50% of credit unions nationwide), including Fiserv, CU*Answers, Corelation, and Jack Henry. The result is a reliable, efficient path to immediate payments—without forcing credit unions into one-size-fits-all solutions. 

“Implementation with Corporate One as our Third-Party Service Provider was smooth and straightforward, making it easy to deliver this 24/7 payment option to our members without unnecessary complexity,” said Damian Victoria, Chief of Finance & Lending at Thinkwise Credit Union, an $117 million credit union in San Bernardino, California. "RTP has quickly become popular among our members, with strong usage right from the start.”
 
Built for Flexibility and Member Impact 
Using its open payment platform, Corporate One enables credit unions to send and receive immediate payments across both rails, with no restrictions on message types or integration models. This flexibility empowers institutions to design strategies that align with their operational needs and member expectations. 

“What matters most is how credit unions use immediate payments to strengthen member relationships,” said Christine Mayes, EVP and Chief Member Engagement Officer. “This year’s 71 new connections represent credit unions of every size choosing to move money faster for their members. Our role is to make that transition practical, predictable, and scalable—so credit unions can focus on innovation and their members.” 

Corporate One regularly shares announcements of newly connected credit unions on its LinkedIn page, highlighting continued momentum and collaboration across the credit union industry. Corporate One has established nearly 150 connections on the immediate payment rails, with more than 60 planned for 2026.
