Of course, the trickiest part of serving small businesses is ...

The decision to subject your credit union to a core conversion is never an easy one. But sometimes that decision is made for you -- for example, when your core provider announces that the platform you're on is being sunsetted. It may be easier to just migrate to another core from the same provider. However, easier doesn't necessarily mean better. No matter what, your credit union will have to endure a conversion. So what better time to carefully consider all your options?Such was the case wit...

That may seem a little scary to some.On a seemingly separate track, there’s never been more emphasis on financial inclusion than there is today.Finally, we can’t forget the artificial intelligence elephant in the room. AI ...
In the early days of credit union marketing, it was all "spray and pray." Send the same message to everybody and hope for the best. Then we took a giant step forward with target marketing, which allows credit unions to segment their members into smaller groups, and thus target them with more relevant messages. However, in 2024, consumers expect every experience to be personalized. Some might even say hyper-personalized. That's where a company called Pulsate comes in. They've created an engage...
