Kirk Drake will be in Clearwater Beach, FL


The National Council of Firefighter Credit Unions Inc (NCOFCU)  is thrilled to announce that this year’s closing session at Clearwater Beach, Florida conference, October 1 – 4, will feature, speaker, author, and presenter Kirk Drake! Kirk has been helping credit unions climb mountains for nearly two decades. As the President/CEO of Ongoing Operations and founder of Credit Union 2.0, he has provided credit unions with the tools, playbook, and strategies they need to excite their members and scale the summit to the top of the field. Most recently, he was a keynote speaker at the CU Leadership Convention in Las Vegas! But you don’t have to travel far to take advantage of his know-how, because this year, we are bringing Kirk to Florida!

What can you expect from Kirk Drake? Well, in recent decades, credit unions have seen unprecedented threats, due in large part to an eighty-year-old business model and an inability to adapt quickly to a digital economy. But, Kirk has devised a powerful plan to revitalize these noble institutions, making them more competitive, more creative, more connected with their membership, and more in tune with the times. It's time to be innovative and bold, to challenge long-standing inefficiencies and move away from the "old school" methods of doing business. CU 2.0 provides the skills, the savvy, and the fresh ideas necessary to finally transport the credit union out of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first.

Be prepared to be wowed as Kirk combines digital strategies, marketing, communications, and technical know-how to help credit unions rise to their peak in the digital age. A lifelong entrepreneur, he has created and founded 8 successful businesses, starting with his first venture, founding a high school bank. It was through this process that he first learned about the “unfair” advantage credit unions have over banks! Since then, Kirk has been inventing ways to support credit unions. Now, he’s coming to our event to share that incredible knowledge and insight. Do not miss this opportunity to hear from an industry leader and game-changer!

  Immediate Release October 09, 2025 WASHINGTON  —Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) issued answers to  four Frequently Asked Questions  (FAQs) to clarify certain requirements related to suspicious activity reports (SARs).

Banking During and After COVID-19

Before COVID-19, the banking industry was experiencing an unprecedented period of growth and prosperity. Despite increasing consumer expectations and increased competition from non-traditional financial institutions, most banks and credit unions were stronger than at any period since the financial crisis of 2008. In a matter of only a few weeks, the world of banking has experienced a level of disruption that will change everything that had been the norm in financial services. There has not only been a major change in the way financial institutions conduct business but in the way, employees do their work and the way consumers manage their finances. Banks and credit unions must use this time of disruption to consider reinventing themselves from the inside out.

This includes the way banks and credit unions use data, AI, technology and human resources t...
