KEY BENEFITS

"Show me you know me" personalization

Personalization isn’t about using someone’s name;  it’s about removing friction before it appears. Clutch uses 1st and 3rd party data to prefill forms, qualify membership, verify identity and surface offers that feel intuitive, not intrusive. Every interaction says, “We know you, and we’ve got this.”

Fund first, verify smart

Every application costs you money – from verification checks to operational overhead. But not every applicant follows through. Clutch reorders the flow to protect your ROI: funding details are captured before IDV costs are incurred, filtering out low-intent users early. 

Embedded activation

End-to-end journeys ensure the relationship doesn’t stop at “approved and funded” – it starts as “active. Usher new members into digital banking setup immediately after funding to drive utilization and retention.

“The big thing for us on the deposit side has been the elimination of probably 80-90% of the fraudulent actors.”

Verify trust, minimize friction

Most verification systems treat every applicant like a potential threat. Clutch takes a smarter approach – verifying trust instead of simply verifying identity.  The result: fewer false positives, faster onboarding, and an experience that feels seamless for members and safe for you.

Power that scales with every "what if"

Credit unions don’t serve generic members – they serve real people with complex needs and unique account types. Clutch is designed for that reality. It flexes for SEG memberships, supports specialized products like trust or tax-advantaged accounts, and seamlessly bridges deposits and lending into a single journey.

“Because of the success of our initial product launch we quickly scaled our strategy across all of our loan products.”
