The New York Credit Union Association (NYCUA) has selected Eltropy — a digital conversations platform for community financial institutions — as its preferred provider and sponsor.
Milpitas, California–based Eltropy will be presenting at the NYCUA convention in June., the company said.
“The ability to engage with members digitally as well as in-branch becomes increasingly important with each passing year. As we’ve worked with Eltropy over time, we’ve watched the valuable service they’ve provided our members, and we couldn’t be more excited for them to officially become our preferred provider,” Bill Bywater, COO of NYCUA, said in an Eltropy news release. No financial terms of the arrangement were disclosed in the release.
Eltropy says its platform allows credit unions to create “personalized member experiences for every interaction,” whether in-branch or digital through any communication channel. It utilizes automation to respond to simple interactions 24/7, allowing credit-union staff members to focus on “higher-value interactions” during business hours, per the release. Eltropy says more than 500 credit unions have used its service to “enhance their member engagement.”
The NYCUA’s annual meeting and convention is set for June 15-18 at Sagamore Resort on Lake George.

BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — The Broome County Health Department this month is spotlighting its Early Intervention Program. It’s part of the New York State Early Intervention initiative, which is part of a national program that serves infants and toddlers with developmental disabilities and delays and their families.
The program is open to children under age 3 who have a confirmed disability or established physical, cognitive, communication, social-emotional, and/or adaptive developmental delay and is designed to help those children grow and develop. Services include evaluation services; home visits; speech, physical, and other therapies; child-development groups; family counseling; and even occasionally help with transportation. Services are provided with no out-of-pocket cost to families.
The county’s and state’s Early Intervention Program currently faces a shortage of qualified providers to deliver these services. The program is actively seeking certified and licensed audiologists, behavior analysts, mental-health practitioners, nurses, nutritionists/dieticians, occupational therapists, physical therapists, psychologists, social workers, speech-language pathologists, and teachers. More information about working with the NYS Early Intervention Program is available at https://health.ny.gov/EINeedsYou
