Member #fintech Parlay (Techstars '23)'s Alex McLeod, MBA will be part of a dynamic panel speaking tomorrow at the NAGLL (National Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders) Conference in #LasVegas!

We’re thrilled to introduce Scenario, an innovative early-stage #fintech startup and member of the North American Fintech Coalition! Scenario is revolutionizing the way credit unions and community banks engage with the next generation by offering a visual, lifestyle-focused approach with instant financial planning that resonates with #GenZ. Scenario’s platform allows users to explore their dream lifestyle and see personalized scenarios, along with the financial steps and products to make it happen—all without needing to link bank accounts. With the power of a custom machine learning system, the app crafts financial plans that adapt to spending, saving, and even the potential impact of financial products and brand deals. It helps users turn their dreams into actionable goals, with smart alerts for managing bills, events, and opportunities. Scenario's vision is clear: empower young adults to design and manage their lifestyle, while offering a licensing opportunity for financial partners to attract, engage, and convert this unique, digital audience. To learn more, reach out to founder, Ihsan Salleh. We’re excited to see Scenario’s progress, as they collaborate with credit unions and community banks to engage Gen Z, and as Scenario advances the financial services industry to enable people to build a great life. #Fintech #GenZ #FinancialWellbeing #NAFC #creditunion #creditunions #communitybank #communitybanks

North American Fintech Coalition had a fantastic "Meet the Credit Unions" event yesterday with Numerica Credit Union! A special thanks to KayCee Murray, AVP of IT at Numerica, for providing a deep dive into their CU's operations and sharing insights on three key challenges they’re facing. The event sparked meaningful discussions with two of our ideation-stage fintech founders, who brought their tech expertise (from Microsoft and Amazon) and fresh perspectives to the table. This intimate, collaborative setting helped generate some great ideas while focusing on exploring problems, not pushing specific solutions. We’re excited to announce that this is just the beginning! North American Fintech Coalition plans to hold more "Meet the Credit Union" events in the future, expanding involvement and fostering collaboration between early stage fintech founders and credit unions. Stay tuned for more opportunities to connect and innovate. Thanks again to everyone who participated and made this session a success! #Fintech #CreditUnion #Fintechs #MemberExperience #CreditUnions #Collaboration #Innovation #NAFC
