Credit unions work relentlessly to serve members and meet their fast-changing needs.

These tools support stronger member relationships, mitigate attrition and encourage behaviors that drive growth.  We recently spoke with Kristen Hinton, Director of Client Portfolio Growth at Fiserv, to understand the value of member and transactional data, and the tools that make that data more actionable. She explains important strategies for increasing transaction volume, engaging members and growing revenue.  To learn more, hit play. 

Why Card Data Is the Key to Unlocking Better Member Relationships

Mobile application use is up, and ATM use is down, but is your credit union’s card program responding and adjusting? For credit unions to stay competitive, it’s more important than ever that they learn how to use cardholder data, marketing services and advanced analytics to understand members, deepen relationships, and maximize revenue and growth opportunities. We recently spoke with Arika Selleck, Vice President of Product Management at Fiserv. She explains how analytics makes it easier for credit unions to strengthen and grow their card portfolios. Leveraging transactional data helps credit unions pinpoint cardholder usage patterns and deliver appropriate marketing messages to the right members, at the right time. To learn more, hit play.

Hard Knocks: Lessons Learned from COVID-19 and the Disruption of the Credit Union-to-Member Relationship

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for more robust employee benefits. As a result, credit unions are rethinking benefits in the context of supporting employees during difficult times. Benefits packages that are more comprehensive, however, drive up the cost of programs. Employee benefits and compensation account for more than 50% of credit union operating expenses, and healthcare costs alone are projected to grow at a rate of 5.5% a year. In this episode of the “Credit Union RX 2020” podcast series, we spoke with Jason Ritzenthaler, Co-Chief Investment Officer and Director of Investments and Institutional Business for Members Trust Company. He explains how Members Trust Company has helped credit union partners offset 63% of employee benefits costs. To learn more, hit play.

Offer Employees More While Making More: Employee Benefit Funding Trusts

Banks and credit unions are responding to the effects of the pandemic differently: banks are focused on consolidating while credit unions are expanding. In fact, credit unions opened 1,523 branches in September 2019, compared with 4,727 closed bank branches during the same period. Banks are looking for buyers for their branches, while credit unions are working to fill “banking deserts,” or areas with no financial institutions within a 10 mile radius. In this episode of the “Credit Union RX 2020” podcast series, we brought together Neil Archibald, Chief Operating Officer for Members Trust Company, and Kathy Courtney, Chief Operating Officer of Greenstate Credit Union, to discuss the benefits of entering bank acquisition transactions with a third-party acquisition partner. They explain how working with a partner helps credit unions overcome barriers they face during the acquisition process and ultimately helps them better serve members.
