NANAIMO, BC, Feb. 1, 2016 /CNW/ - Coastal Community Credit Union (CCCU) has partnered with CUMIS to provide comprehensive creditor insurance for its members on all types of debt, from small loans to large mortgages.

These include personal and business banking, commercial and personal loans, residential and commercial mortgages, investment products and services, and a suite of insurance products. Creditor and mortgage insurance from CUMIS will provide financial protection to members holding loans or mortgages from unexpected financial loss.

Said Adrian Legin, CCCU President and CEO, "We knew we wanted to find partners who could meet the current and future needs of Coastal Community Credit Union in order to support our core member lending experience and growth projections.  We're excited to enter into partnerships with CUMIS and Doxim as they each excel in their respective industries. We trust these partnerships will provide long term strategic and financial strength that aligns with Coastal Community Credit Union's goals to significantly improve the lending experience for both our employees and our members."

CUMIS partners with more than 300 credit unions across Canada to deliver competitive insurance and financial solutions to them and their members. It helps create financial security and promotes the growth and success of the Canadian credit union system.

Coastal Community will also implement a new loans origination platform from Doxim with integrated e-signature support, allowing them to move towards true, end to end, paperless loan processing.

"Doxim's latest SaaS-based loans origination platform is designed to increase the overall velocity of loan origination, reducing time to loan approval," said Chris Rasmussen, President and CEO at Doxim.
