Lextech announces Gold Partnership of the 2026 World Credit Union Conference

Lextech has been named as a gold sponsor of the 2026 World Credit Union Conference (WCUC), which is set to bring more than 2,000 mutual banking leaders, credit unions, and cooperative finance professionals to Sydney from 19–22 July 2026.

Hosted by the Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA) and the World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), the conference marks only the second time the global event has been held in Australia. Delegates from more than 60 countries are expected to attend the four-day program, which includes keynote speakers, international panels, technical workshops, and extensive global networking.

As a leading provider of loan technology and mortgage processing services, Lextech supports over half of Australia’s Customer Owned Banking institutions, delivering legal mortgage processing and technology solutions that help lenders achieve faster, more secure, and streamlined loan processing and settlements.

Lextech Chief Growth Officer Rafe Berding said Lextech is proud to partner with and support such a significant global gathering of lending and finance professionals.

“We are driven by supporting our customers and working in partnership to deliver secure, efficient, and customer-centred lending experiences. Our involvement in WCUC and continued commitment to COBA represents our dedication and passion for strengthening the mutual banking sector and advancing technology-led innovation across the loan-to-settlement lifecycle,” Mr Berding said.

“Mutuals have a unique and vital role in fostering purpose-led, community-focused banking. We’re honoured to support the World Credit Union Conference and the Customer Owned Banking Association as Gold Sponsor and to help showcase Australia’s leadership in lending innovation, and secure settlement services.”

“We look forward to the conference, with our experts across lending, law, and technology on the ground hosting events, live demonstrations, and discussions on the future of loan technology and settlement services. We’re excited to connect and show our latest award-winning innovations with our customers, partners and integration partners across the loan-technology ecosystem.”

The World Credit Union Conference is the premier global event for customer-owned financial institutions, representing more than 75,000 credit unions and 280 million members worldwide. Registration and sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 conference will open in spring 2025.
