Fuse has launched a $5 million Rescue Fund to assist 50 credit unions in transitioning away from legacy software contracts. The initiative provides free access to its AI-native loan origination platform until existing contracts with legacy vendors expire, followed by a flat annual subscription fee.

This program addresses the challenges credit unions face from high costs and technical debt imposed by legacy vendors. With funding from investors including those behind Chime and OpenAI, Fuse aims to modernize credit union technology, which has lagged behind fintech competitors, and foster automation in lending operations.
