In today’s world where the data is available in abundance resorting to analytics has become a necessity for credit unions.

Did you know you can instill loyalty as soon as members join the credit union?
Implementing an effective, seamless and automated “Member Onboarding Engine” is a key element to developing a long-time loyal member. A well-onboarded member has shown much better performance and loyalty than others.
We have observed that most credit unions have a traditional and fragmented onboarding process. However, the process’s full potential can only be realized when it is structured, data-driven and tracked. As credit unions strive to innovate, they need to cover and capture all the aspects of the member life cycle with the right technology while leveraging available data analytics.
Please join CU Rise and OnApproach (now a part of Trellance) to walk through the automated and machine learning-backed cutting edge onboarding solution for OnApproach M360 Enterprise.
During the webinar, you’ll learn:
Rapidly increasing loan-to-share ratios mean credit unions need ways to drive deposit growth in a competitive marketplace. Like other banking institutions, credit unions are looking to new feature-packed products to attract new customers, keep current members happy, and remain competitive. Creating attractive new products is a must – but a strategic execution is equally as important.
CU Rise Analytics has conducted extensive product analysis around deposit accounts. From insights gained through our research, we offer credit unions a strategic approach to implementing new checking products while retaining existing account holders.
In this webinar, we’ll examine:
CU Rise analyzed the five Friday months in 2018 vs. rest of the months. The average spend during these months was found higher than other months. Even further, CU Rise conducted a deep analysis of the merchant-level spending for each of the “five-Friday” months to better understand spending behaviors.
The goal of this white paper is to explore the opportunity that the current auto loan market presents to Credit Unions. It provides an overview of how the Federal Reserve controls interest rates based on macroeconomic factors like unemployment, inflation, gross domestic product and public debt. Further it branches public debt into different types of debt focusing on auto loans. In Q1 2018, Credit Unions have been found holding 21.3% of auto loan market share based on a total number of auto loans and stood third next to Captive Auto. Interestingly, in terms of auto loan balances, they occupied the second place next to banks with $319 billion.
The average interest rate offered for a new car by Credit Unions was also found to be 1% lower than the overall auto loan market rate, which partially explains the rising foothold of Credit Unions. Consumers are more than ever considering Credit Unions as their preferred way of financing auto loans. This opportunity presents the right time for Credit Unions to resort to more advanced and newer ways to help their members by powering analytics and data science to price their auto loans to the traditional risk based pricing. Credit Unions need better methods to provide themselves with an optimal analysis of borrowers reducing delinquencies and charge offs and at the same time enabling them to offer their borrowers the most competitive rates.
