PowerOns
PowerOn® is a programming language that enables functionality on the Symitar core, used by credit unions, from an end user. PowerOn files (PowerOns) are installed on the core and can be called via our SymXchange integration. Most PowerOns are a combination of business logic and front-end HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Online banking providers, such as NetTeller, developed standard ways of handling PowerOns to perform certain actions, like the handful in this list:
- Request to skip a loan payment on eligible loans.
- Request a check be mailed to you.
- Change e-statement preferences, like the email for notifications.
- Calculate a loan payoff for a date in the future.
