Curql Collective, the trusted link between credit unions and fintech solutions, is once again taking bold steps to bring the best early-stage fintech to the credit union movement. With applications now open for the third Curql Accelerate cohort, the program continues its mission to identify and guide fintech companies that deliver practical solutions tailored to the needs of credit unions.

Since its launch, Curql Accelerate has introduced 10 fintech companies through its accelerator program, complementing the broader portfolio of over 40 fintech partners Curql has invested in and collaborated with to date. The accelerator uniquely positions Curql to work with early-stage companies, ensuring their products address real challenges and are built for credit unions from the ground up.

Delivering Solutions That Matter
The Curql Accelerate program goes beyond funding, providing early stage fintech founders with coaching, direct feedback from credit union experts, and a deeper understanding of the priorities driving the industry. The goal is clear: to ensure that credit unions have access to solutions designed to strengthen their operations and enhance the member experience.

“Curql Accelerate focuses on identifying fintech solutions that have the potential to transform credit unions' digital member experience and address back-office efficiency challenges,” said Jim Ryan, VP of Strategic Partnerships at Curql Collective. “Through this program, we’re cultivating a portfolio of fintech innovations designed to help credit unions stay competitive and relevant in an ever-evolving financial landscape.”

Curql Accelerate is powered by Gener8tor, a nationally ranked accelerator network. Their expertise ensures that participating fintech companies receive the tools, training, and connections needed to thrive in the credit union market.
