SECU, Maryland's largest state-chartered credit union, is one of the firm's partners and a member of the Black Dragon Capital FinTech Limited Partner Advisory Board – an organization comprised of recognized credit union and CUSO investment partners which works with the firm to find advanced technological solutions that can help them serve their members better. "The partnerships we create extend beyond the four walls of the office. We see the amazing advocacies our partners stand by, and we do our best to support them. We hope our contribution can make a difference in the communities that SECU serves," said Benson Porter, FinTech CUSO Chair at Black Dragon Capital.
