​Cross Valley Federal Credit Union (‘Cross Valley’) has enhanced its digital banking platform with Mahalo Banking, a CUSO that provides online and mobile banking solutions for credit unions. The rollout modernizes Cross Valley’s digital infrastructure with a streamlined user experience, improved functionality, and stronger security features.
 
Cross Valley selected digital banking provider Mahalo due to the Thoughtful Banking platform’s flexibility, user-focused design, and alignment with the credit union’s member-first approach commitment. Mahalo platform’s deep core integration also supports a smoother, more connected experience across systems for both members and staff. The technology transformation reflects a broader trend among community institutions to replace legacy systems with adaptable platforms that support long-term growth, security, and member satisfaction.
 
“We are focused on giving members greater control over their financial lives, and Mahalo’s platform self-service capabilities help us bring that vision to life,” said Traci Donahue, President and CEO of Cross Valley. “It also reinforces our commitment to security, giving our members peace of mind through stronger protections and greater transparency in how their information is managed.”
 
Mahalo’s solution supports greater self-service functionality, streamlined account management, and unified online and mobile banking—improving both usability and back-end efficiency. Members can now manage their accounts, cards, and loans in one centralized location, with the flexibility to make internal or external transfers, apply for loans or memberships, and update personal details with ease. Card management is also more accessible, enabling members to lock or unlock cards, submit travel notices, request replacements, or apply for credit limit increases within the same digital environment.
 
“Cross Valley’s forward-thinking approach to digital transformation shows how credit unions can embrace technology without compromising on trust,” said Denny Howell, COO of Mahalo. “Their focus on elevating security and usability aligns perfectly with our mission of delivering a modern, intuitive platform that empowers members and strengthens the credit union’s digital foundation.”
