Co-op Solutions has just made available the results of a joint research project it conducted in partnership with EY (formerly Ernst & Young) and Filene Research Institute.
Th findings are contained in the new white paper from Co-op titled, “Co-op CU Growth Outlook: Bridging Member Needs and Payments Strategies to Deepen Trust.” The proprietary research looked at changes to consumers’ financial behaviors and their preferences and activities, as well as the challenges faced by credit union leaders over the past year. The conclusions highlight an opportunity to meet member needs and ignite credit union growth through daily interactions, including payments.
In recent weeks, Co-op has expanded partnerships with several of its clients, and will be working with them to help these credit unions meet the fintech challenge and grow their businesses.
