Last week we had a great time at the 2026 UP Chapter Annual Meeting for the Michigan Credit Union League & Affiliates.

This event has been a long-standing tradition for DS Tech, and it’s always a highlight of our year. It was fantastic connecting with new faces, catching up with familiar clients, and having conversations about how we can continue to support credit unions in our community.

Looking forward to the next one!
