Do you want to grow your credit union and offer more to members? Consider a fintech partnership. While embracing fintech may seem risky, the reality is your members like fintech and are going to use it whether you have it or not. If they do not get the fintech solutions they want from you, it’s likely they are going elsewhere.
Although fintech creates new challenges by disrupting the traditional financial institution model, it also opens up many opportunities for credit unions. With a partnership, you eliminate some of the risk of building your own solution while still delivering the value of fintech to members. Don’t get left behind – keep your members happy with fintech!
