Plumery and Aequilibrium partner to power digital future for Canadian credit unions

By Puja Sharma

Plumery, a digital banking experience platform for customer-centric banking and Aequilibrium, a Canada-based digital transformation services, announced a strategic partnership to support small to medium Canadian credit unions facing the closure of Central 1’s digital banking platforms.

As Central 1 winds down their widely-adopted Forge and Member Direct platforms, the National Digital Banking Working Group (NDBWG) consortium has been actively seeking alternatives that align with credit unions’ collaborative nature and unique requirements. Plumery’s multi-tenant architecture enables credit unions to securely share infrastructure while maintaining data isolation and customised experiences, significantly reducing both implementation costs and ongoing operational overhead.

“Our Digital Success Fabric was designed specifically as a true cloud-native SaaS solution for institutions of this size,” said Ben Goldin, Founder & CEO of Plumery. “This approach democratises access to sophisticated financial technology previously available only to larger institutions with substantial IT resources.”

Aequilibrium has collaborated with Plumery to help Canadian credit unions navigate this critical transition,” said Adrian Moise, Founder & CEO of Aequilibrium. “We simplify banking by designing and implementing integrated digital experiences – from public websites to digital banking platforms – that balance standardisation and differentiation, strengthen each credit union’s unique identity and community impact.

Aequilibrium is a Canadian firm specialising in digital banking platform implementation, experience design, and strategy. Headquartered in Vancouver and trusted by Canadian credit unions for over a decade, the firm brings profound expertise in financial services, with successful deployments across Canada, the US, and LATAM.
