BUILDING A BETTER FINANCIAL INSTITUTION SINCE 1998

“The Samaha team was incredible throughout the entire acquisition process. They brought us a detailed project management plan based on their previous work, and we knew at that moment that we were in good hands. They felt like an integral part of our team. Their knowledge, diligence, and communication skills were instrumental in making our conversion a success. We are looking forward to working with Samaha and Associates again on future projects. We thank them for their hard work, their support, and their dedication.”

“The Samaha approach was a true match to our culture at US Community Credit Union. They were very transparent with their approach to the process. They participated in board meetings, strategic planning sessions, and met with most of our credit union employees. Their approach to the conversion was very holistic and included everybody. Our investment with Samaha was extremely worthwhile. I can confidently recommend Samaha & Associates to any credit union that is looking at any type of conversion or technology upgrade.”

“We looked at several different consultants to help us with our core project and decided on Samaha and Associates, and we couldn't have made a better decision. They helped us vet the three finalists and also the contracts, adding tremendous value in saving us money as well. They assisted all the departments through the whole core conversion. They've also helped us with other contracts. They helped us with our visa contract also saving us a great deal of money. Samaha & Associates proved invaluable to us. They did a tremendous job for iTHINK Financial.”
