Azura Credit Union has selected Jack Henry’s Symitar® open technology platform to deliver modern services to local communities and drive future growth.

Founded in 1939, Azura Credit Union now has more than $822 million in assets, 12 offices in Northeast Kansas, and more than 62,000 members. Throughout its growth, Azura has provided unique services to meet the local needs of each community. Maintaining this level of community-focused personalisation required a technology platform that is both open and flexible, enabling the credit union to seamlessly integrate FinTech solutions of its choice and deliver a broader range of modern, robust services.

“Jack Henry’s single platform and enterprise approach to technology will position us for growth both now and in the future,” said Greg Winkler, CEO of Azura Credit Union. “It provides us with an environment to integrate a variety of tools that will help us differentiate and compete as a truly local organisation. Additionally, their ongoing investment in and evolution of the platform will help us stay competitive, which was a key factor in our decision.”

Azura will leverage Jack Henry to stay innovative with data and AI strategies. This will empower each local branch to enhance operational efficiencies and gain deeper insights into the unique needs of their communities, enabling the delivery of meaningful solutions that foster strong, personal relationships.

“It takes a blend of care, relationships, and technology to really know your members and their unique needs,” Winkler said. “We want to bring value to all our members, regardless of how they choose to interact with the credit union. Jack Henry will help us maintain a local touch through modern technologies. They have been a true strategic advisor, offering direct access to leadership and meaningful support through user groups. These resources are invaluable to our growth.”
