Innovative Strategic Solution, LLC (ISS) announced today that it has signed an exclusive licensing and sales partnership agreement with Sydel Corporation to distribute VendorXpert, a software solution that was specifically created to assist credit unions in addressing regulatory concerns regarding vendor due diligence.
The solution is web-based and will immediately allow credit unions of any size to develop a vendor assessment methodology and manage the relationships moving forward using a risk based approach that encompasses enhanced due diligence.
Ken deMello, President of ISS, points to the National Credit Union Administration’s Letters to Credit Unions (08-CU-09, 07-CU-13, 01-CU-20) as explicit direction that credit unions must assess the risks of every vendor utilized by the organization and monitor those vendors to ensure that the assessment remains valid. “This is a significant regulatory burden and credit unions need to find a way to comply”, states deMello.
ISS is offering free demonstrations of the software. Credit unions can contact Jonathan Rhodes of ISS by calling 301-801-3083 or emailing jrhodes@issone.com..
ISS offers services and products to credit unions including collection outsourcing, credit card processing, training conferences and software solutions.
