Mahalo Banking completed 17 credit union conversions to Corelation's KeyStone platform in 2026, with four more launches scheduled before year-end, the company said on October 22, 2026.

Mahalo's Corelation KeyStone Conversions

Mahalo Banking, a provider of online and mobile banking solutions for credit unions, announced the milestone in its partnership with Corelation. As a Corelation Preferred Partner, Mahalo works with credit unions implementing KeyStone, whether they are moving to the core for the first time or already running on it. Mahalo's integration with KeyStone is designed to let credit unions deliver digital banking while using the core's capabilities.

Firelands Federal Credit Union and North Coast Credit Union are among the credit unions that launched Mahalo Banking's platform in 2026. "Mahalo brought a transparent approach with clear timelines, consistent communication, and helpful guidance," said Eric Seckel, Senior Vice President of Operations at Firelands Federal Credit Union. "That level of alignment was critical to delivering a successful outcome for our team and our members."

A.C. Griffith, CEO of North Coast Credit Union, said: "The implementation process was seamless. Mahalo's deep knowledge of KeyStone and how the platforms work together helped us feel fully prepared for the transition."

Ron Yeshulas, Director of Business Development at Corelation, said the two companies have developed a relationship built on closely aligned cultures and shared values. "Our teams work closely together, communicate openly, and share a dedication to delivering exceptional service and successful conversions," Yeshulas said.

Jim Stickley, CEO of Mahalo Banking, said core conversions are among the most challenging projects a credit union can undertake. "Seventeen conversions in a single year is a tremendous accomplishment, but what I'm most proud of is that we continue to deliver on our commitments," Stickley said.
