Hi! I'm Beacon, Summit's virtual assistant. Ask about rates, accounts, or loans — anytime, day or night.

I'm partway through an auto-loan application but I'm stuck on the income section.
Happy to help. I can walk you through it here — or share your screen so a loan specialist points to the exact field.

Co-Browse

See exactly where they need a hand.

A member calls because the online application “isn’t working.” Instead of guessing, your agent opens Co-Browse, sees the screen in real time, and guides them to the exact field. No downloads or remote-desktop software required.

  • Highlight fields and scroll the page for them.
  • Sensitive fields like SSN and passwords masked from the operator.
  • Move from chat to video with co-Browse in one click.

FAQ

Questions credit unions ask us.

Does ChatBeacon meet NCUA and GLBA requirements?

Yes. ChatBeacon is built for regulated financial institutions, with full audit trails, configurable data-retention, and access controls designed to satisfy GLBA and your examiners. We will walk through your specific exam scope during onboarding.

Where is our member data stored, and who owns it?

Your data is hosted on US-based infrastructure and it stays yours. ChatBeacon never sells your data or trains public AI models on member conversations — and you can export or delete it at any time.

Will it connect to our core banking system?

ChatBeacon integrates through secure APIs and webhooks and runs alongside common cores and digital-banking platforms. Our team scopes the exact connection with you before launch.

How does the AI hand off to a live agent?

When a member needs a human — or simply asks for one — ChatBeacon AIX passes the full conversation, context, and member details to an available agent with a Smart Handoff, so nobody has to repeat themselves.

What happens after the branch closes?

Beacon answers overnight, on weekends, and during call surges. Anything it cannot resolve is queued with full context for your team the next morning, so no member is left waiting.

Most credit unions go live in a few weeks. We help train ChatBeacon AIX on your rates, products, and FAQs, configure your handoff rules, and match the chat widget to your brand before go-live.
