About.

It's a challenging job being a CEO of a Credit Union. You have all the challenges of large banks but few of the resources...

So are you an innovator? 

What percentage of your revenue comes from products or services launched within the past three years?

Many credit unions are struggling to attract and retain members, in fact, even prior to the Covid pandemic, 48% of federally insured credit unions saw their membership numbers decline over the previous 12 months.

 

Credit unions that don't focus on filling their innovation pipeline risk the downward spiral of an ageing portfolio of products and declining membership.

We would love to help you to fix that...
