CU NextGen, a leading credit union service organization (CUSO) providing digital banking, award winning CRM, automation, as well as operational solutions and services to credit unions nationwide, today announced it has acquired Constellation Digital Partners, a credit-union-owned digital banking platform focused on collaboration, shared innovation, and member-centric digital experiences.
This strategic acquisition brings together two organizations deeply rooted in the credit union movement, with a shared commitment to customizability, collaboration, and long-term success for credit unions of all sizes. With this acquisition, CU NextGen now supports more than 90 credit unions nationwide, helping them design, customize, and evolve digital experiences that reflect their unique members, markets, and strategies.
A Stronger Future for Credit Unions
For Constellation Digital Partners’ participating credit unions, this acquisition ensures continuity of service, ongoing platform support, and accelerated innovation. CU NextGen will assume responsibility for the Constellation digital banking platform and its participating credit unions, providing enhanced operational support and access to CU NextGen’s broader ecosystem of solutions and services.
“Constellation was built by credit unions, for credit unions, and that philosophy aligns perfectly with CU NextGen,” said [Kent Zimmer, CEO, CU NextGen.] “By bringing Constellation into the CU NextGen family, we’re ensuring participating credit unions have a stable, forward-looking partner that will continue to invest in the platform, listen to their needs, and evolve the digital experience without disruption.” CU NextGen believes that your members aren’t generic, so your digital banking shouldn’t be either. Digital banking should adapt to each credit union’s strategy — not force credit unions into one-size-fits-all experiences.
Expanding Capabilities Through a Unified Platform Vision
CU NextGen’s digital banking platform, Nextly, is built on a highly customizable, no-code foundation that allows credit unions to tailor their digital experience without long development cycles or vendor lock-in. The acquisition of Constellation Digital Partners further expands CU NextGen’s reach, to support credit unions with:
-Ongoing digital banking support and platform stability
-Expanded customization and configurability
-A roadmap driven by real credit union needs
-Seamless integration with automation, CRM, data, and operational tools
-Built for Credit Unions who expect more
Participating Constellation credit unions will benefit from CU NextGen’s proven approach to rolled conversions, minimal disruption, and collaborative planning, ensuring a smooth transition and clear path forward. “We are excited to now be part of Nextly (Digital Banking provided by CU NextGen) and to continue to expand our online and mobile banking experience for our members. CU NextGen has been an important partner with Meritrust Credit Union, and we look forward to developing even more innovative solutions together.” [James Nastars, CEO, Meritrust Credit Union]
Commitment to Credit Union Collaboration
Constellation’s mission has always been about shared innovation and collaboration across credit unions. CU NextGen brings the scale, technical flexibility, and operational depth needed to carry that mission forward and expand what’s possible for participating credit unions.
CU NextGen is excited to work closely with Constellation credit unions to understand their priorities, align future enhancements with their strategic goals, and ultimately increase member experience nationwide.
