Important things to know...
After transformation, text banking and Telemate will no longer be available, however, our upgraded online banking and mobile app will be available at your fingertips 24/7. And, coming soon, our new Virtual Assistant, Penny, will be available to handle all your banking needs right over the phone!
Management of ACH Distributions will no longer be available via our upgraded online banking and mobile app, however, these distributions remain fully in tact and can be managed by calling our Contact Center or visiting any of our branch locations.
Jump Access accounts will need to be re-established post-transformation, which are called Switch Accounts in the new system. This will allow you to continue to view accounts other than your own; you simply need to know the log in credentials for the account you wish to switch into. You can begin to reset this on Tuesday, October 3, 2023.
Utilizing your account number as a username will no longer be allowed post-transformation. You will be asked to create a new username. In addition, each member will have their own username and password. Primary members will log in as usual and follow the prompts; joint members will click the button to register with online banking.

What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a type of computer science that focuses on making machines smart. These machines can do things that normally need human smarts. AI is like a mix of different subjects, and it's used in many ways. One way is through machine learning and deep learning, which are making big changes in the tech world.
AI helps machines learn and act like human minds. This can be seen in self-driving cars and tools like ChatGPT and Google’s Bard. AI is becoming more common in our daily lives, and many companies are putting money into it for all kinds of industries.
interface.ai provides an out-of-the-box Intelligent Virtual Assistant that acts as a “personal banking teller” to help members 24×7 through every step of their journey from being a prospect to achieving financial wellness. interface.ai’s Intelligent Virtual Assistants currently power several Banks and Credit Unions across the world. For more information, please visit www.interface.ai.
How is Prospera utilizing AI?
Prospera is excited to introduce the most seamless banking experience for our members, powered by interface.ai’s award-winning Intelligent Virtual Assistant (IVA).
We are utilizing interface.ai via phone-only to start. And don't worry, our wonderful Contact Center Representatives are still accessible!
Prospera’s Virtual Assistant, Penny, will be available through the telephone call center. After the launch of this solution, members who call Prospera will get answers to their questions by interacting with Penny, enabling Prospera to provide full service to members 24/7. This solution gives our members a new opportunity to engage with Prospera, in a way they prefer to interact today, relying on verbal communication over the phone.
Virtual Assistant Penny allows people to interact with Prospera over the phone as if they were speaking with another person. Members can ask about account and financial information, transfer money, and more with real-time responses and the option to be transferred to a Prospera representative when needed. In this way, members get the support they expect easily and without waiting.
With workforce issues impacting the economy, it’s important to find ways to maximize our very talented staff. One of the advantages of Penny is she can undertake calls that formerly required Prospera representatives, allowing our valuable employees to offer more value to member interactions by automating common member requests.
It's your life.
