Vendor management software for CU technology & operations leaders

Every vendor contract has a date that costs you money if you miss it.

VendorSteward keeps every contract, renewal date, and notice period in one place — so a 60-day auto-renewal clause never turns into next quarter's surprise line item.

The Problem

Small and mid-size credit unions run millions in vendor commitments off memory and spreadsheets.

RISK 01

Auto-renewal clauses don't send reminders

Most vendor contracts renew automatically unless you give written notice inside a fixed window — often 60–120 days before term end.

RISK 02

Vendor management is an exam finding waiting to happen

NCUA's third-party risk expectations assume you can produce a current vendor list and review cadence on request.

RISK 03

The person who remembers the contract terms eventually leaves

Vendor knowledge concentrated in one or two people disappears when they move on.

What You Get

One ledger for every contract decision.

Decide-by dates

Calculated automatically from each renewal date minus its notice period — the day your decision is due, not the day the contract ends.

Every vendor category

Core processor, digital banking, card & payments, cybersecurity, cloud, ATM/ITM, item processing — tracked side by side in one ledger.

A due-diligence file per vendor

Upload the contract, SOC 2, financials, and insurance certificate to each vendor — kept in private storage and opened only through short-lived signed links.

An audit trail of every change

Every renewal-date or status change is captured with who made it, the old and new values, and when — ready when an examiner asks who decided what.

Role-based team access

Invite your whole team under one institution subscription — admins manage billing and settings, members work the ledger.

One-click CSV export

For board packets or exam prep, in one click. Your data is never hostage.

Hosted for you

No IT project required — nothing to install, nothing to maintain, updates arrive on their own.

How It Works

Twenty seconds a month. Nothing slips.

01

Add your vendors

Each vendor, its renewal date, and its notice period. Two minutes per contract.

Watch the decide-by calendar

Rows shift green → amber → red as a deadline approaches. The urgent one is always on top.

03

Export when you need it

CSV for the board packet or the exam, whenever it's asked for.

One plan. One number.

FAQ

Short answers.

Is our data visible to other subscribers?

No. Your vendor list is private to your institution — no other subscriber can see it.

Do we need IT support to set it up?

No installation needed. Create an account, add your first vendor, and you're tracking renewals.

Can more than one person use it?

Yes. The subscription is per institution, not per seat — your whole team works from the same ledger.

What if we already track vendors in a spreadsheet?

Bring the data over. Add vendors individually or start from your existing export.

What happens after the trial?

After 90 days, continuing simply means entering payment details and the $499.99 annual charge begins. There's no automatic charge — no card was collected at signup, so nothing happens until you choose to subscribe.
