DIGITAL STRATEGY

The Credit Union Innovation Framework

Creating a Digital Credit Union for members of the Future

Today, the average credit union member is always connected with technology – emails, social media, what’s app, search engines, mobile apps, websites, smart watches and wearables etc.

“Credit unions must innovate on the same digital platforms utilised daily by their members to create and deliver more value to them.”

Credit unions must move away from simply offering the traditional loans and savings products, leverage on emerging technology or face being disrupted by new players offering dynamic value proposition powered by technology and platform business models.

Learning Outcome

Participants will gain first-rate taught and practical experiences from industry leading trainers through lectures, workshops, DIY sessions & real-time case studies.

Specifically, participants will gain knowledge on 4 key aspects:

  • Understanding Emerging Technologies and how to apply these towards member value creation for your credit union;
  • Making a business case for the adoption of technology towards member excitement
  • Creating a blue print and product development roadmap for your credit union innovation / digital transformation journey
  • Strategies to target younger demographics via innovative platforms

Who Should Attend

The course is suitable for Credit Union stakeholders from board of directors to C-Suite executives to senior managers, managing directors, heads of departments, frontline staff, customer service teams, HR departments, compliance teams, entrepreneurs, and business leaders wanting to gain strategic insight and knowledge to create new ventures within the financial services that are powered by technology.

This programme is ideal and essential for any Credit Union that wants to safeguard its future, attract new and younger demographics whilst exciting and creating value for its core members.

Credit Unions, banks & financial services, companies in the private sector, entrepreneurs, business owners, SMEs, non-IT professionals, universities, charities, government agencies, and public sector organizations are all encouraged to attend.

Digital Transformation Case Studies

Guyana Public Service Credit Union (GPSCCU)

Prior to 2017, GPSCCU never actively utilised technology or digital platforms.

As a result, they had some challenges; the same challenges faced by many credit unions today. These include: ageing membership, low number of active members, long loans processing times, defaults in payments, limited branches & geographical restrictions, poor customer services, environmentally unfriendly “paper-based” modes of operation, difficulty in managing savings & loans accounts in real-time, just to name a few. 

We realised that almost all of the above could be addressed by incorporating effective digital Strategies and technology platforms towards value creation.

Today, GPSCCU has a digital presence with over 11,000 followers on social media where they actively service their members. They also now have an effective website.
