MALVERN, PA — AKUVO, a technology company specializing in portfolio risk and delinquency management for credit unions, today announced that it has joined the Symitar^® Vendor Integration Program (VIP). Participation in the program will provide AKUVO with access to Symitar’s technical resources to enable AKUVO Aperture to integrate with Episys^®. The Vendor Integration Program is designed to help ensure that Symitar’s customers can easily deploy third-party products.

AKUVO Aperture integrates with Episys via SymXchange™, a services-based programming interface that enables third-party vendors and credit unions to access the platform’s core data and business rules. The integrity of data is maintained throughout any data exchange, because access to business rules and data is managed through a service layer which governs these interactions.

AKUVO Aperture is a cloud-based, API-enabled comprehensive portfolio risk and delinquency management solution designed to increase understanding of risks and opportunities while reducing collection costs. Aperture is rooted in the latest data science applications to allow credit unions greater insight into loan portfolio performance and gives the ability to manage both the current and future state of the portfolio. AKUVO’s participation in Symitar’s VIP allows essential access to member data for monitoring, analysis, and recovery processes.

“Integrating with Episys, the most widely-used core processing system by credit unions, is crucial to our strategy at AKUVO,” said Steve Castagna, Chief Operating Officer at AKUVO. “We are eager to leverage the services and technologies available through the VIP membership, to ensure our ability to deliver the most integrated and comprehensive solution to our customers.”

Symitar’s VIP takes the customer out of the middle, providing vendors with direct access to Symitar’s technical resources and test systems. VIP inclusion is not an endorsement of the vendor’s product.
