The Fort Worth Press - PSECU Selects Candescent to Advance Its Digital-First Legacy with Intelligent Banking

ATLANTA, GA, AND HARRISBURG, PA / ACCESS Newswire / September 29, 2026 / Candescent, defining the era of Intelligent Banking for banks and credit unions, announced that PSECU has selected Candescent to power its digital member experience. This multi-year transformation is designed to strengthen PSECU's position as a technology and experience leader as the credit union enters its next stage of growth.

Digital innovation has long been central to PSECU's model. In 1995, PSECU launched PSECU-at-home and mailed floppy disks to members, enabling them to conduct their banking transactions from home. More than three decades later, PSECU is making another significant investment in the future of banking and the experience it provides to its members.

Following a competitive evaluation, PSECU selected Candescent for its Intelligent Banking strategy and Votiv's capabilities and roadmap. As the experience layer of Candescent's Intelligent Banking Platform, Votiv brings that strategy to life. By connecting unified experiences with real-time intelligence, Votiv will help PSECU move beyond reactive, transaction-based banking toward experiences that better understand members, provide more relevant guidance and help them take action.

"Digital innovation has always been part of how PSECU serves its members, and this partnership represents an important next step in that journey," said George Rudolph, President and CEO of PSECU. "We are investing in the technology and capabilities that will allow us to create more personalized, connected experiences while continuing to deliver the trust and value our members expect from PSECU."

PSECU currently serves more than 545,000 members and manages more than $9 billion in assets. As the credit union approaches $10 billion in assets, the transformation will create a technology and experience foundation designed to support its continued growth and expand the value it delivers to individuals, families, and businesses across Pennsylvania.

"PSECU has a history of using technology to challenge traditional banking models in ways that create greater value for members," said Jason Edelboim, CEO of Candescent. "This is an institution with real digital-first DNA making a bold investment in what comes next. PSECU is also the first new client to select Votiv, validating both our Intelligent Banking strategy and the role Votiv plays in bringing that vision to life. We are proud to welcome PSECU and look forward to building the next era of banking together."

Candescent and PSECU will begin joint planning and implementation as part of the multi-year transformation. The organizations will work closely throughout the journey to align technology, data and the member experience with PSECU's strategy and growth ambitions.
