Wellington IT, the leading provider of core banking software for Ireland’s Credit Union sector, has today announced a new strategic partnership with Nostra, one of Ireland’s foremost Managed IT Services providers.
Through this partnership, Nostra will be offering fully managed ICT support to Wellington IT clients, providing Credit Unions with the high-performance IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and compliance capabilities they need to meet rising operational and regulatory demands.
As Credit Unions navigate growing SEPA transaction volumes, heightened cyber threats, and the imminent requirements of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), this partnership ensures access to a unified IT solution tailored specifically to the sector’s challenges.
“Our relationship with Nostra is long-standing,” said Ian Glenn, CEO of Wellington IT. “They have been supporting Credit Unions since 2012 and already work with several of our clients using the SCION core banking system. Our experience has always been positive, and we have full confidence in their ability to deliver the managed services our customers need. This partnership also allows Wellington IT to remain focused on delivering best-in-class core banking solutions to over half of Ireland’s Credit Union members, including exciting initiatives like SEPA Instant.”
Under this new partnership, Nostra will provide Managed IT Services to a number of Wellington IT’s client base. This includes robust IT infrastructure, best-practice cybersecurity, regulatory compliance alignment, and 24/7 support, delivered with deep sector knowledge of the Credit Union environment.
“We are delighted to formalise our partnership with Wellington IT,” said Gary Byrne, Managed Services Director at Nostra. “We’ve worked together for many years, and being chosen as their preferred partner reflects the results we’ve already delivered. To have critical services providers working together in a collaborative partnership is great for the customer. Our aim is to ensure every Credit Union operates within a secure, resilient, and future-ready IT environment.”
This collaboration comes at a crucial time for the sector, with DORA’s enforcement date drawing nearer. The partnership ensures Wellington IT clients have the option of working with a trusted, best-in-class managed services provider if they wish to do so.
