Solution Providers - Welcome!
Spend More Time Building Relationships With Good Matches, Spend Less Time Chasing Poor Matches
A different way to connect with credit unions and boost other channels
Credit unions rarely have the time to engage the way you want them to
Selling to credit unions is challenging. While they seek partnerships, the traditional sales process rarely works as intended. Credit unions face unique time and resource constraints that limit their ability to engage in lengthy sales cycles. They don’t want a pitch or countless demos; their focus is on serving their members. They need to discover and evaluate partners on their own terms and at their own pace.
How the Solution Playground Helps
The Solution Playground is more than a directory, promotional placement, or event sponsorship. It empowers credit unions to discover and evaluate you against other options. Showcase your best offerings through extensive filter criteria, detailed explanations, compatibility information, videos, and interactive features. Credit unions can easily sift through detailed solution information, focusing on what matters most as they compare options. When a credit union reaches out through the Playground, they are ready for action.
All solutions are welcome!
Every valuable solution, regardless of its growth stage, deserves a chance to connect with credit unions. The Solution Playground democratizes access to all solutions. Every provider pays the same to post solutions and receives equal exposure. Solutions compete based on quality and impact, not marketing budget size. We encourage you to invest those marketing dollars into building a better product, as credit unions deserve your best.

Pricing
- $2,000 per year for platform access and the ability to post up to 5 solutions (from the same company).
- $200 per solid lead generated on the platform. A "solid lead" means the credit union is in the final phases of decision-making or has specific questions not covered in the listing.
- If a lead is poor, you can request a refund—plain and simple.
Help Sustain the Credit Union Movement
