Fintech
Supporting the financial innovators driving change
In less than a decade, fintech disruptors evolved from existential threat to critical partner for credit unions. Now, the vast majority of credit unions partner with at least one mature fintech but emerging innovators can struggle for traction.
Our B2B expertise can position your fintech for growth with brand and marketing programs that are resonant and relevant to credit union audiences.
As a cooperative movement, the credit union system is unique in its approach to collaboration—but as member-owned financial institutions, credit unions are unique in their focus, too. Strategic partnerships are mission-driven.
Our brand strategy programs can help refine and reposition how your fintech goes to market to attract, engage and thrive with credit unions.
