5 Ways Your Board Portal Can Help

Want to streamline your credit union’s board management? Discover how Aprio’s board portal can boost efficiency, enhance security, and foster collaboration.

For credit unions and their communities, strong governance is more than a regulatory requirement—it's a commitment to their members and communities. As the leading board portal provider among North America’s credit unions, Aprio’s board portal software makes staying in the loop, supporting decisions and discussing board materials easy to do, securely from anywhere. 

As you’re evaluating board portals for your credit union or assessing if you’re getting enough from the one you use – consider that credit unions are the largest community of customers that Aprio serves. Our CEO came to Aprio from Canada’s largest credit union;  that’s why we understand the unique governance needs of small to large credit unions working hard to serve their diverse members. 

For some, that’s rapid loan approvals. For others, that’s unique financial services for low-income communities. So how does a board portal like Aprio support credit union board management? Read on!

5 ways Aprio’s board portal helps credit unions get more done

1. Faster decisions on loans, meet times and evaluations

Credit unions use Aprio’s online voting and secure surveys for scheduling meetings, board evaluations and CEO reviews. Plus, by storing results from surveys and votes in your board portal, it’s easy to analyze trends over time. 

2. Conveniently share files without data risk

There’s never a reason to risk a data breach by sending files via email. Aprio makes it easy to securely share links to sensitive financial information or board materials without risk. Upload and share files of any size and use the robust search functionality to locate the files you need, from any device.

3. Secure committee communication from anywhere

Aprio allows secure annotations on documents and discussions with just committee members or other directors. It’s fast to set up committee-only access to documents and have people join the committee, gain access and get up to speed.

4. Markup financial documents and share them for real-time collaboration

Credit union boards use Aprio’s annotations feature to digitally take notes on financial documents or other important board materials. Choose to share your edits and markups with other board or committee members to collaborate and facilitate your discussions in real time.

5. Sign contracts anywhere

Credit union board members sign contracts, non-disclosure agreements, or dozens of other business documents quickly and securely using Aprio’s eSignatures. This powerful tool is legally robust and is accessible from a browser or your tablet app.
