Balancing member preferences inside transformative spaces.

In this episode of the CUNA News Podcast, sponsored by Fiserv, Brendan Watkins explains how branch automation can help credit unions provide members with everything they want from their financial service provider.

Watkins, vice president of product management, discusses trends in branch automation, including changing distribution models and in-branch experiences.
