Wayzata, MN – July 24, 2025 — Nook, a Credit Union Service Organization (CUSO) and Gold Tier HubSpot Solutions Partner, is launching a new data integration offering designed to connect credit union core systems directly with HubSpot. This represents a major leap forward in enabling credit unions to unlock the full power of HubSpot’s CRM, automation, and AI capabilities.
“Historically, core system integration has been one of the biggest barriers preventing credit unions from adopting modern marketing and CRM platforms like HubSpot,” said Austin Wentzlaff, Founder & CEO of Nook. “With this new integration, we’re eliminating that friction and empowering credit unions to finally act on their data—intelligently, securely, and at scale.”
The new offering will leverage a proprietary connector built by Nook to sync data between popular core banking systems and HubSpot. Nook’s integration unlocks the full potential of HubSpot by feeding it rich core data—enabling personalized, behavior-based workflows, deep member insights, and automated engagement across the entire marketing, sales, and service lifecycle. This enables every interaction to be smarter, more relevant, and grounded in accurate, trustworthy data.
“I entered the credit union industry in the late 2000s with a mission to help credit unions harness the power of their data,” said Paul Ablack, Co-Founder & Chief Evangelist at Nook and former Founder & CEO of OnApproach, a data analytics CUSO acquired by Trellance in 2019. “Through OnApproach, we helped nearly 100 credit unions unlock deeper insights through data warehousing. Today, we have an incredible opportunity to leverage Nook's collective experience and expertise through a transformative partnership with HubSpot. Combining the richness of credit union data with HubSpot’s AI-powered customer platform creates a force that’s truly hard to match.”
As the credit union industry continues seeking scalable solutions to drive growth, this new integration positions Nook—and HubSpot—as critical components of the digital transformation stack.
In addition to Nook’s own core integration solution for HubSpot, we are partnering with leading credit union data analytics providers—such as Lodestar—to empower their clients to harness the full potential of their existing data investments through HubSpot.
