Med5 FCU Partners with JMFA to Improve Overdraft Service for Members
To create additional value and enhance their member service, Med5 Federal Credit Union has selected to implement JMFA’s fully disclosed overdraft solution. The new partnership will positively impact the credit union’s operational processes and service delivery.
 
According to Med5 FCU’s Operations Manager, Myles Burnham, “[The JMFA team was] amazing to work with from the moment we met. We are blown away by the ODP platform—how robust its features are but also how easy it is to navigate. On top of that, given the current environment surrounding courtesy pay and the fees associated with it, our minds are at ease with JMFA’s 100% compliance guarantee.”
 
If you would like to learn more about JMFA’s overdraft services, please contact Derrik Mather, JMFA Regional Director at 402.525.3615 or for general questions, contact George McDonald, DakCU’s Chief Officer of Strategic Resources.
