Collaboration, according to John Best, CEO of Best Innovation Group.

That’s important to remember as credit unions face increasing disruption from fintech companies, a new fintech bank charter, and other developments, adds Glen Sarvady, managing principal of 154 Advisors.

In this episode of the CUNA News Podcast, Best and Sarvady are joined by Lance Noggle, CUNA’s senior director of advocacy for payments & cybersecurity.

They hold a wide-ranging discussion on the alleged demise of branches, the Office of the Comptroller of Currency’s new bank charter for fintech companies, the Treasury Department’s recent report on financial modernization, CUNA’s technology advocacy, and more.

Best and Sarvady produce the BIGcast, a weekly podcast that examines fintech trends and innovations.
