FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich.: MDT, a CUSO that helps credit unions navigate complex financial technology solutions, today announced key achievements from a year defined by new leadership, expanded client relationships, enhanced strategic offerings and continued commitment to helping credit unions operate more efficiently and competitively.

In 2025, four credit unions selected MDT, while 15 existing clients extended or renewed their partnerships, underscoring the CUSO’s continued reliability and service excellence. Institutions such as Adventure Credit Union, Afena Federal Credit Union and Homeland Credit Union deepened their collaboration with MDT to strengthen their digital infrastructure, streamline operations and advance their member experience initiatives.

This year also marked important leadership progress for MDT, with Chris Kowal’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer bringing a renewed operational and strategic focus to the organization. MDT also added Emily Szymczak as Chief Financial Officer, further strengthening its leadership team as the CUSO continues scaling its solutions and support model.

MDT advanced its technology roadmap and strategic guidance for credit unions through several initiatives, including releasing two major white papers focused on unlocking efficiencies and overcoming budgeting pain points. Together, these reports provide insights to help credit unions modernize internal processes, adopt automation and drive organizational productivity

The company also expanded its partner ecosystem through new and enhanced relationships designed to give credit unions access to broader innovation without added complexity. Partnerships with organizations such as InvestiFi support credit unions bringing modern investment capabilities to their members. MDT additionally launched a new Partner Program that offers curated, vetted fintech solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing technology environments.

MDT’s internal momentum remained strong as the company was recognized as a Best Place to Work in Financial Technology for the sixth consecutive year, reflecting its commitment to cultivating a supportive workplace culture and empowering its teams to deliver exceptional service to credit unions.

The CUSO hosted its 2025 MDT E3 Conference, convening nearly 300 credit union executives and technology leaders to collaborate, learn and advance innovation shaping the credit union landscape. The upcoming 2026 MDT E3 Conference, themed “Explore,” will be held May 18–20 in Detroit.
