About CFS Insight
The CFS Insight team is committed to helping your team better serve your community with data-driven decisions.
CFS helps you serve
Your Credit Union Community.
When was the last time you had to make a significant gut decision?
What was at stake? How did you form your ultimate conclusion?
Historically, for community-based credit unions, decision-makers have relied on a combined experience with their community, scattered data points, and intuition.
Today, however, high-performing credit unions embrace the rapidly growing financial technology giving deep insight into their data. For more than a decade, CFS Insight has helped people like you navigate the opportunities for data-driven decision-making.
The CFS team is deeply rooted in credit union business/operation and data analytics, development, and integration. In a nutshell, CFS pairs standard and custom data connections and rapid development with prudent advice and responsive customer service for credit unions.

CFS Insight Story:
Blazing a trail for credit union data-driven decision makers
In the early 2000s, Jason Bedsworth founded CFS Insight as a professional services firm focused on web-based software development.
Over time, CFS shifted into building business intelligence (BI) data warehouses and developing enterprise reporting systems for small to medium-sized businesses.
In 2009, one of the largest employee-based credit unions in the U.S. approached CFS. This credit union contracted CFS to build a data warehouse and BI system. The solution CFS provided gained other credit unions’ attention, which led to CFS forming a partnership with Jack Henry and Associates.
CFS has been trailblazing credit union data solutions and practices ever since. CFS now works with over 70 credit unions providing credit union-specific solutions that give people like you the power to make data-driven decisions.
