New GoWest Solutions Partnership With Rippleshot Helps Credit Unions Stay Ahead of Fraud

Posted by Alyse Knudsen on August 5, 2026

Credit unions across the GoWest region have a new resource to help stay ahead of fraud. GoWest Solutions has partnered with Rippleshot to give credit unions access to innovative, proactive tools designed to identify potential fraud and help prevent losses before they occur.

Through the partnership, GoWest’s member credit unions gain access to Rippleshot’s Fraud Interceptor and Fraud Intelligence Collective, giving fraud teams of any size a proactive detection layer alongside a trusted network of peers. Both programs work within a credit union’s existing systems, with no new software or IT resources required.

“Fraud remains one of the biggest pain points we hear from credit unions across the region,” said Lisa Slaymaker, Vice President, Solutions & Partnerships for GoWest Solutions. “That’s why we’re excited to partner with Rippleshot. Their Fraud Interceptor helps identify and stop fraud before it reaches the credit union, reducing losses and helping protect members. Just as important, the Fraud Intelligence Collective harnesses the power of collaboration, enabling credit unions to share intelligence and work together against emerging threats. That cooperative approach is at the very heart of the credit union movement, and we’re proud to bring these innovative solutions to the credit unions we serve.”

Fraud Interceptor analyzes anonymized transaction patterns across a broad network of financial institutions to identify high-risk merchants and emerging fraud trends. By providing early insight into suspicious activity, it helps credit unions implement proactive blocking strategies before losses occur, rather than reacting after fraud has already impacted members. The solution integrates with existing fraud workflows, and Rippleshot’s analysts work directly alongside credit union teams to support ongoing fraud prevention efforts.

In addition, the Fraud Intelligence Collective connects fraud professionals through a vetted, invitation-only network where they can share observations, compare trends, and learn how peers are responding to emerging threats in real time. Members also gain access to Rippleshot’s Merchant Intelligence data, enabling them to research suspicious merchants directly within the platform and quickly determine whether activity is isolated or affecting institutions across the industry. Neither solution requires the sharing of member-level personal information, helping credit unions strengthen fraud defenses while maintaining privacy and trust.

“What stood out working with GoWest was how much thought they put into every credit union, big or small. That kind of care is rare, and it’s made this one of the easiest partnerships to say yes to. Our focus now is making sure every credit union in the GoWest network can get up and running with these tools quickly and without friction. That’s what we’re working on next,” said Nalani Brown, Vice President of Operations at Rippleshot.
