We’ve been busy little bees (turtles?) at Mahalo Banking. We haven’t had much time to write blog posts between traveling the conference circuit, writing code, and signing contracts. It’s time for an update on what we’ve been up to.
At Mahalo, we’re continually improving our apps through careful iteration, using user experience (UX) design principles and proven interaction models to build an awesome user experience. We believe in delivering the best member experience possible. Leveraging each platform efficiently requires us to write our apps in native code. That means quick loading screens, smooth screen transitions, and predictable user interface concepts. Coding takes longer, however, since there is a different code base for each platform.
Conferences are a wonderful place to discover the new and emerging products in the credit union industry. We try to go to as many as possible. In fact, Alan and Denny just got back from SymCentral in Chicago last week. It was close enough that they drove, which doesn’t happen very often when you’re located in the Detroit area. We take them were we can, folks.
We’ve done quite a bit of traveling around the country, meeting credit unions and engaging with their teams. We love to show off our suite of products and collaborate with the diverse set people that represent credit union technology and marketing teams. We love hearing the challenges each credit union faces and the innovative solutions to those problems. Every single one is different; and valuable. We may be a vendor now, but we came from credit unions, we are credit union people at heart.
On the product side of the house, third-party integrations have been a focus. Our third-party integration approach is to integrate tightly and completely. You’d be surprised how often this is not the case. Why not leverage all the features the third-party vendor provides? It makes for a better product all around.
We continue to move forward, building lasting relationships and great products in the credit union industry. "People helping people" as Alan says. At our core, we want to help credit unions serve their members efficiently, with high-quality online channels, at affordable prices.
