Co-op Solutions’ Todd Clark on how credit unions can build deeper connections with members.

September 7, 2023

There are countless ways to connect with consumers in 2023. There are also countless competitors seeking to make those connections. 

Co-op Solutions President/CEO Todd Clark joins the CUNA News Podcast to discuss how credit unions can navigate the fintech-heavy landscape by engaging members every day.

“Pursue a deeper connection with your members via payments and microinteractions,” he says. “Payment data tells you a lot about your members, and gives you real insight if you know how to use it.”

Clark and CUNA Digital Media Design Specialist Yeekeng Yang also discuss the payments technology landscape, market research that came out of 2023 Co-op THINK, challenges credit unions face in the technology realm, and more.
