Extremely happy customer

Eltropy is wonderful to work with. They are really on top of things, care about their product, and care about their customers. They are knowledgeable and have very creative ideas. One of the best things about working with Eltropy is how open they are to our ideas for enhancing their product. They have already incorporated many of our ideas and updated their product based on our feedback. They are my favorite vendor to work with by far.

PROS

Having the ability to share files securely was the biggest selling point for us. This is something that was important to us and other options we looked into did not have this feature. Being able to integrate with our core was also key. Being able to track opt-ins in our core is key. Sending mass messages is very easy, and was also something we needed that Eltropy does well. I really like that you can save templated responses for our team to use. This helps with efficiency and consistency in responding to our members.

CONS

We wish that it could work with our current solution for routing calls and chats to our member service representatives. This is something we have high hopes of being able to do in the future.

Reason for choosing Eltropy

One key features Eltropy had over other options we were looking at was the ability to share files securely. Another selling point for us was their ability to integrate with our core. We also really love the fact that Eltropy was eager to enhance their product based on feedback, and work closely with us to help further improve and develop their solution.

Great Team/Great Product

Eltropy's staff is highly attentive to our needs and respond quickly to anything that we need. This is a big, big deal! They have experienced a great deal of growth and we have been on the platform for close to a year; however, their attention to our needs have not waivered a bit. Their outstanding product demonstrates their organization's culture: easy to work with and attention to detail.

PROS

This product is as easy to use as picking up your cell phone and texting a friend or family member. It opens up a way to communicate with our membership in a way that is convenient and valued by our members. Everyone texts!

CONS

I cannot think of anything. Great product, great team!

Reason for choosing Eltropy

Eltropy appeared to have more to offer, easier to use, and a vision for the future. We also could feel how invested the Eltropy's team was to our success.

Great!

PROS

I like that it is user friendly and fairly easy to learn as well. It allows us to communicate with our customers in a new way, providing faster answers with the same level of service as on the phone.

CONS

Not sure if the software or our admins have the capability, but would love to see spam messages filtered better.

Fantastic text messaging solution

We chose Eltropy because its platform features a precise, easy to use format that we can utilize to not only market to our members, but also give them the ability to communicate with us personally and efficiently for any needs they might have. We were also very pleased to have the ability to use our existing phone number, as members were already familiar and comfortable with using this number. Within a week of signing the contract, we were up and running. The deployment and training process was extremely proficient, enabling us to launch the program on the same day as our initial kick-off call. Within a day of launching, we began receiving text messages from our members, requesting anything from loan information, to wanting to reset their online banking passwords. We use the software for insurance tracking, collections, lending, member services, and much more. Through the secure links, we've been able to greatly enhance our lending departments ability to collect paystubs, Driver's Licenses, registrations, and more. Our insurance tracking has been greatly enhanced with the ability to quickly and efficiently collect updated insurance information on our collateral. We've even used the software for emergency communications and marketing. It's been a great solution for us.

PROS

This is a very user friendly software that is quick and easy to implement, as well as learn to use. It has provided an excellent solution for collecting member information for our loan officers, as well as our collections and insurance departments. Our members love the ability to text the credit union.

CONS

I would like to see some additions to reporting. There are some very good reports that can be pulled, but I don't see a comprehensive report showing the number of texts sent/received. This would be helpful to have to tie back to the contract which is based upon usage.

Reason for choosing Eltropy

We did review other vendors before choosing Eltropy. We ultimately chose Eltropy as it was much more robust that competitors we had viewed, and the pricing was not much more expensive. We were thrilled to not only have the ability to communicate through text with our members, but use the platform in many other areas of the credit union that would greatly enhance our efficiency.

Reasons for switching to Eltropy

The existing product we were using was much more limited than Eltropy's platform. For example, it did not have the ability to receive texts from the members. It was only a marketing solution, which was not fulfilling our expectations or our needs.

Eltropy in a Pandemic

From the initial sales call to the training (and ongoing support), Eltropy has been a value added product that has increased our avenues to communicate with our members. We have had constant support from our team that answer questions quickly and effectively. Our employees continue to learn and use it in a variety of uses. We have been very pleased with our implementation of this product.

PROS

We implemented Eltropy at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. It was instrumental in us communicating with our membership with changes to operations, announcements, etc. It also was great for communicating one-on-one with members to get needed documents for new accounts and loans while our lobbies were closed. It has become a necessary tool for our staff to keep in contact with our members no matter where they are. We especially like the option for many employees / departments to use for a variety of uses.

CONS

Our only hurdle has been people to opt-in to the mass texting service. With the lobbies being closed, it has been hard to inform and instruct members on the new feature as a way to communicate with GKCU employees. We continue to see numbers in usage increase - it is just slower than we thought (but we aren't dealing in 'normal' times either so we are understanding of that).

Reason for choosing Eltropy

We did not have an existing product in place when we decided to implement. It came highly recommended from our national organization which helped us in deciding to move forward.
