Send us a text Suddenly youth banking is back in the conversation and that’s because this time there is real optimism that it’s a product that’s emerging at the right time. Case in point of the optimism is a recent Finovate article headlined “Why Youth Banking Is Set to Surge In 2025.” Better news is that this market isn’t solely for the big banks and fintechs.

Send us a text Talking about credit/debit card disputes and chargebacks. Probably you don’t want to. For good reason. One estimate is that there were $62.5 billion in chargebacks in 2023. And at most credit unions every chargeback or dispute involves a lot of staff time. It’s an expensive matter and it is often profoundly irritating to members - at least some of whom decide to change FIs as a result. More worrisome is that increasing numbers of Americans file disputes,...

Send us a text Risk. For years I have said that to a credit union senior executive the foulest four letter word is risk. It’s a risk averse industry and that’s a paradox because a credit union makes money by taking risks. Then too we are now in a universe of unprecedented risk: there are wars, threats of a recession, threats of uncontrolled inflation, and of course there now is so much competition - neo banks, non banks and more. Risk is everywhere. Enter Ed Vincent CEO of SRA Watch...

Send us a text Are you ready to grapple with the new NCUA requirement that every credit union have an up to date succession plan that covers both senior executives and board members? The good news: you’re not required to have a written plan until January 1, 2026. The bad news: if you don’t have a plan by then, or if your plan falls far short of NCUA’s expectations, the credit union can be written up by an examiner.

Over the past 35 years he has been co-founder and editor at Credit Union Times, publisher at Credit Union Journal, co-founder at CUToday, and now he is the founder of The CU Daily, a new publication that is the liveliest credit union pub in my opinion.

Send us a text Peter Duffy’s message is plain: The pace of mergers will get fatter and it will involve credit unions of all sizes, from the small to the mega institutions. First Tech and DCU may seem an outlier but now there is ENT and Wings and the pace will keep up, says Duffy who now has joined SRM. Will the chaos and uncertainty in Washington DC slow the merger pace? Duffy thinks not, indeed the pace may quicken. That’s because, says Duffy, economies of scale are now the Holy Grail of...

At many credit unions there are strategic plans but often they aren’t interesting and often, too, nobody pays any attention gto them anyway. Supposedly UFCU and Crowl, who has been ...
