Case Study: Solarity Credit Union reduces core integration time with PortX reusable APIs

Solarity CU Reduces Core Integration Effort by 18 Months With Reusable APIs

Solarity Credit Union, a financial institution in Washington State, faced significant challenges due to its reliance on a legacy core banking system. This dependency resulted in a brittle, point-to-point architecture that made integrating new systems and developing new features a slow and complex process, often taking up to 18 months. To overcome this and begin its digital transformation, Solarity partnered with PortX to implement an API-led integration strategy.

PortX worked with Solarity to build a reusable API integration layer that abstracted the core banking system. This solution dramatically reduced development time, allowing features that once took months to be completed in days. The measurable results included over 9 million API calls and more than 200,000 core transactions processed without outage within four months of a Salesforce integration. With PortX's solution, Solarity scaled its delivery of innovative products with a small team and eliminated its dependency on its core provider.
