Case Study: Whatcom Educational Credit Union streamlines compliance and saves time with StandardFusion

WECU Streamlines Compliance and Saves Time with StandardFusion

Whatcom Educational Credit Union (WECU), a not‑for‑profit financial cooperative based in Bellingham, WA, found its previous GRC tool, EnRisk, limited and not user friendly—focused on business‑unit processes and constrained to COSO ERM—so it sought a more flexible governance, risk and compliance solution. After evaluating six vendors, WECU selected StandardFusion’s GRC platform for its diverse functionality, API capabilities, and straightforward subscription pricing.

StandardFusion implemented a controls‑centric solution that centralized WECU’s controls into a single source of truth, tied compliance literature to those controls, and enabled the credit union to use any risk methodology and integrate data via API. The smooth implementation, ongoing support and lack of per‑module fees helped WECU save time on compliance tasks, improve accuracy, and expand the platform’s use across the organization.
