Beastro Powers Corporate Central’s Modern Money Movement Platform
By CU Today Staff —
MILWAUKEE--As expectations for faster, more flexible payments continue to grow, Corporate Central said it is helping credit unions simplify how money moves through Beastro, its integrated money movement platform that brings together payments, treasury management, and financial operations in one secure experience.
Designed to reduce complexity and increase flexibility, Beastro empowers credit unions to move money with confidence while preparing for the future of payments, Corporate Central said.
“Today's payment environment demands more than a single payment rail. Different transactions require different solutions based on speed, cost, settlement timing, and availability. Through Beastro, credit unions have a single point of access to manage money movement while selecting the right payment option for every situation,” the corporate CU said.
Beastro integrates ACH, domestic and international wire transfers, internal transfers, Treasury management, and instant payment capabilities into one intuitive platform. Rather than managing multiple payment systems, credit unions gain greater efficiency, improved visibility, and a streamlined user experience that simplifies daily operations.
As part of Corporate Central's ongoing faster payments delivery, Beastro includes access to FedNow, the Federal Reserve's instant payment service. Embedded within the platform credit unions already use, FedNow provides the ability to send and receive instant payments with real time settlement and immediate funds availability, giving credit unions another option when payment timing matters most.
"Credit unions need flexibility, confidence, and choice when it comes to moving money," said Heather Ristow, CCUE, senior vice president/chief experience officer. "No single payment rail is right for every transaction. Beastro brings traditional and emerging payment capabilities together in one connected experience, giving credit unions the freedom to choose the right solution while positioning them for the future of payments."
The initial FedNow offering supports institution level operational use cases, including settlement activities and other back-office transactions where immediate funds availability can improve efficiency. Operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, the service extends payment capabilities beyond traditional processing windows.
Corporate Central said FedNow complements Corporate Central's broader faster payments strategy by adding instant payment capabilities to the same secure platform credit unions already rely on for money movement. Together, Beastro's integrated capabilities help credit unions simplify operations today while building a foundation for tomorrow's payment innovations.
"Our goal is not simply to add another payment capability," said Ristow. "We are building a connected money movement ecosystem that helps credit unions operate more efficiently, adapt to evolving payment expectations, and confidently embrace what comes next."
Corporate Central added that it continues to invest in the future of money movement through ongoing enhancements to Beastro, including faster payments, automation, treasury management, and digital services. Through one integrated platform, Corporate Central is helping credit unions streamline operations, strengthen financial services, and prepare for the future of money movement.
