The partnership makes Kindred League Data's first credit union customer outside Atlantic Canada and reflects a shared commitment to sustainable modernization for Canadian credit unions and their members.

HALIFAX, NS, Oct. 2, 2026 /CNW/ -- League Data announced today that Kindred Credit Union has selected the organization as its banking system technology partner, supporting Kindred's continued modernization and its ability to serve members as their needs evolve. The partnership also marks an important milestone for League Data, with Kindred becoming its first credit union customer outside Atlantic Canada.

The partnership reflects a shared focus on building a modern and sustainable foundation for the future while preserving the cooperative values that continue to differentiate credit unions across Canada.

With over 50 years of experience supporting credit unions, League Data will work alongside Kindred to implement a cloud-based banking platform designed to simplify operations, improve integration, and support evolving member expectations.

"Modernization is about helping credit unions serve their members well today while building the capacity to adapt and grow over time," said Chad Griffin, chief executive officer of League Data. "We're proud to work alongside Kindred as they take this important step in their modernization journey."

League Data's approach to modernization is grounded in recent experience supporting coordinated transformation across the Atlantic system. Last year, League Data completed the final core banking conversion for 37 credit unions in Atlantic Canada within 15 months. Working alongside these credit unions with values-aligned technology partners like Mambu, the collaboration was able to manage complexity, share learnings, and deliver change in a practical, sustainable way.

The partnership demonstrates how the aggregation model, shaped through years of collaboration with Atlantic Canadian credit unions, can extend the benefits of shared experience, capabilities and scale to credit unions in other parts of Canada.

"Kindred sees tremendous value in credit unions working together and sharing capabilities that strengthen our system," said Jason Daly, chief executive officer of Kindred Credit Union. "League Data brings significant experience supporting credit unions, and we're pleased to build on that experience as we continue Kindred's technology modernization."

More broadly, the partnership reflects the role collaboration can play in strengthening the Canadian credit union system. By sharing experience, capabilities and scale, credit unions can address common challenges while continuing to serve their distinct members and communities.
