Case Study: Beacon Credit Union achieves 30-minute loan processing and 9% consumer lending growth with Finastra (Fusion LaserPro & Fusion DecisionPro)

Beacon Credit Union Attracts New Members with Competitive Consumer Loans

Beacon Credit Union, a $1.2 billion credit union serving over 45,000 members from 28 branches, wanted to expand beyond its agricultural base and improve the member lending experience by replacing aging, manual processes. To modernize retail and agricultural lending and attract new members, Beacon chose Finastra and its lending solutions—primarily Fusion LaserPro and Fusion DecisionPro—to centralize workflows and decisioning.

Finastra implemented a central lending hub using Fusion LaserPro and Fusion DecisionPro (Total Lending – Premium), integrating with Beacon’s core systems to automate loan decisioning and documentation. As a result, loan application turnaround fell to just 30 minutes, consumer lending grew 9% over four years, frontline staff were freed from repetitive tasks, and regulatory compliance and overall efficiency improved with Finastra’s solutions and implementation support.
