TROY, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mahalo Banking today announced the successful launch of its platform with Knoxville TVA Employees Credit Union (‘Knoxville TVA’ – $4.8B in assets), Tennessee’s second largest credit union with more than 290k members. Mahalo’s online and mobile banking platform provides Knoxville TVA with a state-of-the-art solution, offering enhanced flexibility and modern banking functionality.

Knoxville TVA sought a digital banking provider to support its rapid membership growth with an advanced platform and innovative feature set to meet member needs. “We had our member needs in mind when we selected Mahalo as our digital banking partner,” said Lynn Summers, CEO of Knoxville TVA. “Mahalo’s reputation for delivering a truly member-centric experience, along with its robust third-party integrations and advanced self-service capabilities, were important considerations during our vendor evaluation process.

Member engagement surged following the launch of the new platform, with Knoxville TVA recording more than 100,000 unique logins in the first week alone.

Features designed with inclusivity and convenience in mind are resonating well with members. Members are enjoying the unified view of their accounts, which brings greater transparency and convenience to their banking experience.

Knoxville TVA can now deliver a seamless digital experience while ensuring the highest data protection standards through Mahalo's Credential Assurance Technology (CAT), which delivers enhanced security to combat rising fraud attacks. The platform also offers a scalable, customizable infrastructure allowing the credit union to tailor the member experience while providing the flexibility to incorporate new features as its service offerings expand.
