A technology partner and strategic advisor specializing in fraud dispute management, Quavo Fraud & Disputes announced a new partnership with Apple Federal Credit Union (Apple FCU). The partnership will transform the credit union’s dispute management operations via the implementation of Quavo’s QFD platform, bringing greater efficiency, faster claim resolutions, and a frictionless experience for Apple FCU members.

“Apple FCU shares our vision for creating smarter, more member-centric dispute processes,” Quavo CEO and Co-Founder Joseph McLean said. “Together, we’re replacing outdated workflows with intelligent automation that meets members where they are—online, mobile, and ready for faster results.”

Quavo’s QFD platform is an AI-powered solution that automates the dispute process from intake through to recovery and resolution. The platform was developed specifically for financial institutions and technology companies, enabling them to reduce manual workloads, accelerate fraud and dispute resolution times, and ensure regulatory compliance. Trained on 20+ million real-world cases, QFD helps financial institutions scale their operations as they grow. Apple FCU will benefit from a streamlined self-service portal accessible via online and mobile banking, real-time visibility into claims and status updates, reduced reliance on call centers and branch offices, as well as faster, fairer dispute outcomes.

With nearly 270,000 members and $5.4 billion in assets, Apple Federal Credit Union serves the communities of Fairfax, Frederick, and Prince William counties in Virginia. Established in 1956, Apple FCU is a not-for-profit, membership-owned institution dedicated not only to providing financial services to the local community, but also to promoting community involvement, financial literacy, and charitable giving.

Headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, Quavo most recently demoed its technology at FinovateFall 2025. At the conference, the company demonstrated its latest innovation, Investigation AI, that leverages an 18-point detection framework to resolve fraud claims faster with greater accuracy. The combination of Investigation AI with Advanced Intake Deflection, which helps combat so-called “friendly” or first-party fraud, enables QFD to deliver real-time decisioning, cost reductions, and superior customer experiences.

Quavo’s partnership news comes a month after the company announced a pair of major C-suite additions. In January, Quavo announced that David Oldershaw and Tony DiGiorgio had been appointed as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer, respectively. Oldershaw joins Quavo after most recently serving as the Chief Operating Officer for OfficeRnD, where he led go-to-market functions, partnerships, corporate development, and operations. DiGiorgio was formerly Chief Architect at healthcare operations platform provider symplr, where he helped grow the company from $200 million to $500 million in annual recurring revenue.
