When a group of visionary Michigan credit unions united in 2003, they had a common goal: to share IT costs and shape a brighter future for credit unions nationwide. What started as a strategic collaboration quickly grew into something far greater. Those pioneers launched Member Driven Technologies (MDT), and today, that name has become synonymous with trust and reliability in the credit union industry. As part of our recent brand refresh, we’re now proudly known as MDT—a name that reflects how the industry recognizes us and our unwavering commitment to being a trusted partner that embodies the spirit of credit unions as the financial institution of choice in their communities.
At MDT, we’re committed to being your trusted guide, helping you navigate the complexities of today’s financial technology landscape. As your needs evolve, it’s essential for us to evolve alongside you, ensuring a seamless and beneficial partnership. To help us move forward, we’ve refined our Mission, Vision, and Purpose—three key areas that now serve as our guiding principles:
- Vision: To unlock the technology possibilities to make our community financial institutions the preferred choice.
- Mission: To provide comprehensive expertise to navigate financial technology ecosystems.
- Purpose: To pave the way for community financial institutions to access and implement technology.
I’m excited to share some of the key changes we’ve made as part of this strategy, all designed to better serve you and your credit union.
Expansion of Consulting Solutions
We understand the evolving challenges credit unions face, from resource constraints to regulatory, security, and competitive pressures. That’s why we’re expanding our consulting services to provide expert guidance tailored in areas such as process improvement and operational efficiency, project management, merger support, and artificial intelligence. This initiative is designed to deliver customized solutions and strategic support, helping your credit union overcome obstacles and achieve its goals.
Shift to Public Cloud-Environment Solutions
As part of our forward-looking approach, we’re intentionally shifting to public cloud-environment solutions. This move reflects our commitment to supporting impactful digital transformation while aligning with technology advancements among our key business partners. By transitioning to the cloud, we’re empowering credit unions to maintain operational efficiencies, adapt to evolving industry demands, stay competitive and deliver exceptional digital experience for your members.
Updated Website
Our updated website, now live at https://www.mdtmi.com, reflects our renewed brand and elevated strategy. It’s more than just a website—it’s a vital part of our commitment to evolving alongside your needs. We’ve refreshed our messaging and solutions to better communicate our dedication to serving as your partner in navigating the ever-changing fintech landscape.
As we continue to grow and evolve, one thing remains constant: our commitment to you. MDT stands by credit unions with trusted service and tailored solutions to help you thrive. Thank you for trusting us to partner with you in 2025 and beyond. Together, we’ll ensure your credit union remains the preferred choice in your community.
