Real One Credit Union isn't your average financial institution. Born out of Coloramo Federal Credit Union and built from the ground up for a generation that does things differently, R1 exists to prove that a credit union can be every bit as modern, as intuitive, and as genuinely helpful as anything else in a member's financial life. R1 isn't just a place to keep money, it's a partner in building the future members actually want.

Today, that vision takes a major step forward. Digital investing is now live for Real One (R1) members, powered by Eko.

Good things take time and commitment, and this launch is proof of that. The R1 team navigated a collaborative integration process with patience, determination, and a focus that never wavered. Real One shows up. They have a focus on community and support that never wavers.

The result is an investing experience that R1 members both expect and deserve: clean, intuitive, supportive, and built right into the digital banking platform they already use.

No separate app. No new login. No reason to wait.

Digital investing is now available directly inside the R1 digital banking experience, removing every barrier that might stand between a member and getting started. R1 members can now:

R1 was created with a clear purpose: to give a new generation of members the tools and the trust to take control of their financial lives. Investing has historically felt out of reach for a lot of people, too complicated, too expensive, too exclusive. R1 and Eko are changing that by putting a powerful, accessible investing experience directly inside the banking platform R1 members already know and trust.

This is what it looks like when a financial institution genuinely commits to meeting its members where they are.

Eko integrates directly into R1's digital banking environment through Bankjoy, among Eko's first live launches through Bankjoy-powered institutions, alongside sister brand Coloramo. Eko delivers a seamless, white-labeled investing experience that feels like a natural extension of R1's own platform. Portfolio management, compliance infrastructure, and brokerage custody through Alpaca Securities LLC are all handled behind the scenes, so R1's team stays focused entirely on their members.

For financial institutions looking to bring digital investing to the next generation of members, this partnership is a compelling example of what's possible, and we look forward to many more Bankjoy integrations ahead!

The financial institutions that will matter most to the next generation of members are the ones that actually invest in them by showing up with real tools, real support, and a genuine belief that financial well-being is for everyone. R1 is one of those institutions, and we're honored to be part of what they're building.

R1 is part of the Coloramo family. Coloramo members also have access to digital investing through this same partnership. Read about that launch here.
