DCUC and Scienaptic AI Announce Strategic Collaboration

WASHINGTON, DC – The Defense Credit Union Council (DCUC) is proud to announce  Scienaptic AI has joined its Premier Circle Program. ​

Scienaptic AI offers compliant, AI-powered credit decisioning platform to credit unions nationwide. This platform aids credit unions in offering lending decisions with quicker turnarounds, streamlining operations, and expanding inclusive access to credit while continuing to meet rigorous regulatory and fair lending standards. 
 
Credit unions serving military communities often operate in unique environments where members face frequent relocations, deployments, and other financial complexities. Forward thinking companies, like Scienaptic AI, help bridge the gaps and address challenges caused by military life. Scienaptic AI brings AI-powered credit decisioning that sees beyond traditional data gaps and enables credit unions to assess members on a fuller financial picture, to deliver fairer, faster lending decisions. 
 
“Credit unions serving military and veteran communities operate with a deep sense of purpose while navigating some of the most complex lending environments,” said Patrick McElhenie, Chief Growth Officer of Scienaptic AI. “Through our collaboration with DCUC, we are bringing transparent, explainable, and responsible AI to help these institutions expand credit access, manage risk with confidence, and respond faster to member needs. This is enabled by our iCUE platform and its agentic AI capabilities, purpose-built for lending. It is an honor to support organizations that serve those who serve.” 
 
DCUC represents credit unions that collectively serve more than 143 million members nationwide. Since its founding in 1963 to advocate for credit unions located on military installations, DCUC has grown to represent all credit unions dedicated to supporting their communities and members, including those who serve. 
 
“Credit unions carry forward their financial cooperative missions every day, supporting communities across America across all demographics and generations, and many of the credit unions we represent carry a long history of serving the unique financial needs of those whose lives are shaped by deployment, relocation, and uncertainty,” says Anthony Hernandez, DCUC President/CEO, Ret. U.S. Air Force Colonel. “We’re happy to welcome Scienaptic AI as our third Premier Circle partner and appreciate their support for our credit unions.”
