For credit unions

Real model risk management.Built for lean teams.

Credit unions are member-owned and resource-conscious, but examiners still expect sound model governance. Yields brings Model Risk Management and AI Governance together in one platform, so you can inventory, validate, and monitor every model and AI use case, without consultants or spreadsheets.

Customer story

How America First Credit Union scaled model risk management

The sixth-largest credit union in the US runs models for credit scoring, loan approval, and capital planning. With Yields, they brought model risk into one platform the business team owns, with a full audit trail and no reliance on IT.

"The implementation of Yields was easy and secure. The collaboration and communication with the customer success team was also seamless." Cameron MillerMRM Analyst, America First Credit Union

The reality

You serve members, not shareholders. That doesn't lower the bar on model risk.

  • Credit scoring, ALM, and AML models, and increasingly AI, all rely on sound governance.
  • Examiners and supervisors, from the NCUA in the US to the Central Bank of Ireland, the PRA, and OSFI-aligned regimes in Canada, expect documented controls, validation, and oversight.
  • With a small team, every manual hour spent on tracking is an hour not spent on members.

There's no dedicated model risk rule for credit unions, but the expectations are real, and guidelines like SR 26-2 set the bar everyone is measured against. Yields solves this by bringing every model and AI use case into one place, with governance you can run with a small team.
