JB Orecchia

SavvyMoney has been named to Credit Union Times’ Luminaries Awards, Class of 2025. 

This award celebrates top industry professionals, credit unions and world-class service organizations that are changing the cooperative financial services industry for the better. Shining a spotlight on the individuals and organizations that have significantly enhanced the not-for-profit financial cooperative landscape, the award recognizes those who have raised the bar within the credit union sphere by driving positive change and inspiring others to follow suit.

The 2025 Luminaries were selected by a panel of esteemed judges based on how well they stated and achieved goals with regard to the nomination category; how impactful their work has been; how dedicated the nominee has been to furthering modernization and humanization in the credit union business; and how committed the nominee has been to high ethical standards, service and excellence.

“The CU Times newsroom believes in the credit union industry and the people and organizations that support the financial cooperative spirit, and that’s just one reason we do these awards,” says CU Times Editor-in-Chief, Michael Ogden. “We adore the creative ways these individuals and credit union-serving groups approach solving the financial issues for the members, and in turn, create a better world in communities across our country. It’s always an honor to recognize so many people doing so many wonderful and inclusive things to help push our industry higher.”

SavvyMoney has been nominated in two categories for the awards: product innovation – mobile banking and executive leadership – technology vendor. The latter honors JB Orecchia, president and CEO of SavvyMoney, for his leadership and impact in driving innovation and growth within the financial technology sector.

“We are honored to be recognized for our work in mobile banking innovation, and I’m personally grateful to be nominated for executive leadership,” said Orecchia. “These nominations reflect dedication and creativity for our entire team, whose commitment to serving credit unions and their members drives everything we do. Our focus has always been on delivering meaningful, modern solutions while fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence, and it’s incredibly rewarding to see that work recognized on such a prestigious platform.”
