History
Oak Tree was born in 1980 from the credit insurance industry. Clyde Coxey was the founder among the first batch of employees of insurance carrier Transamerica, which at the time did business as TOP/CRI -Creditor Resources Inc. based in Atlanta, Georgia. Oak Tree Systems began to provide credit union customers a forms product that helped grant loans and sell credit insurance as the forms solution for Transamerica.

In 1991, Oak Tree’s full attention turned to the forms needs of The Credit Union Industry employing Richard Gallagher’s computer expertise who pioneered streamline documents serving regulated forms for Credit Unions only.
