Three Must Haves For 2022

Key Trend Summary

In 2022 members will expect to be able to access 75% of all banking services digitally.

Digital is the Branch

Unprecedented pace of adoption of full service digital banking by members fueled by pandemic.

  • Five years ago, credit unions saw about 15% of the business that was previously done in branches conducted through their digital channels.

  • Two years later, in 2018, 25% of members were using digital channels to match their needs with the institution’s offerings.

  • The Covid-19 pandemic accelerated this trend and in 2021 credit unions saw an average of 50% of their business coming through digital channels.

This trend toward full service digital banking will reach a tipping point in 2022. Members of credit unions will default primarily to digital channels when searching for solutions to match their financial needs.
 

Attributes of Winning Credit Unions

This tipping point will bring exponential growth to those credit unions that are embracing the combination of big data and artificial intelligence to orchestrate a unique journey for each member. These credit unions will exhibit the following characteristics.

  1. Cultural transformation will precede digital transformation. Winning credit unions will embrace the cultural transformation that must precede digital transformation to succeed. This is the foundation for redefining how value is delivered to members.

  2. Digital will be relational, not primarily transactional. Winning credit unions will be laser focused on augmenting existing digital platforms with technology that creates a relational rather than transactional digital experience.

  3. Intelligent AI and big data will be embraced. Winning credit unions will go beyond personalization and invest in machine learning AI and big data platforms capable anticipating member needs. ​

​​​​​​Summary 

By transforming their cultures, adopting a relational rather than transactional only approach to digital and leveraging emerging technologies to provide uniquely tailored advice and direction for their existing and prospect members, these winning credit unions will level the competitive landscape meeting and exceeding the value delivered by mega and digital-only banks.

What Does PTSD in a Firefighter Look Like? A New Brain Scan Can Show You

Link Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is often described as one of the invisible scars that firefighters and others accumulate after years of dealing with trauma in their jobs. Now the scars are invisible no longer. A new tool—the SPECT scan—is offering a new way for firefighters and others with PTSD to visualize their injuries. SPECT stands for single photon emission computed tomography, and it creates 3-D scans of the patient’s brain that look at blood flow and brain activity, KTLA reports. Those scans can then be used to generate a treatment plan tailored to the specific patient based on the visual effects of PTSD. Retired Firefighter-Paramedic Matthew Fiorenza, a PTSD sufferer, told the station that the scans also help make the illness more tangible. “Looking at a picture of my brain, it just took the stigma out of it,” he told KTLA. “It’s like, okay, I’m not crazy.”

Historically, tariffs have served as a primary source of revenue and a means to protect domestic industries, as they make foreign products more expensive, encouraging consumers to purchase locally produced goods.

Tariffs can be specific (a fixed fee per unit) or ad valorem (a percentage of the item's value). Purpose Economically, tariffs aim to protect domestic industries, generate government revenue, and influence trade policy. By imposing taxes on imported goods —wh...

NEW YORK—As 2025 approaches the close of Q1, how can credit unions win over Gen Z? By tailoring credit rewards for a digital-first generation, a new report recommends. Gen Z is reshaping the workforce and redefining financial behaviors. As of 2024, this generation is poised to surpass Baby Boomers in workforce size and will make up 30% of the workforce by 2030.
