I love working with credit unions because in my former life at a financial office, we'd lose business to credit unions ALL THE TIME. This was largely because of the amazing reputation and member engagement that they focus on. Now, I get to help amplify these experiences in a way that truly impacts credit unions and their members. Firstmark Credit Union being a major example of how Birdeye achieves this. Here are a few standout benefits they experienced: ? Enhanced Member Experience: Location-specific and real-time feedback allowed them to address member concerns promptly, leading to improved satisfaction and loyalty. ? Increased Online Visibility and Conversion: Birdeye makes sure that Firstmark's happiest members are posting about their experience through reviews, enhancing online presence in search results and ensuring they're the obvious choice. ? Actionable Insights: Analytics provided by Birdeye enabled Firstmark to better understand member needs, guiding strategic improvements and services.

To build credit, it's essential to start by establishing a solid credit history. This can be done by opening a credit card, making timely payments, and keeping credit utilization low. Additionally, consider becoming an authorized user on someone else's credit card or taking out a small loan to demonstrate responsible borrowing. Remember, building credit takes time and consistency, so be patient and stay focused on maintaining good financial habits. buff.ly/34dMsty Mel, The Credit Coach Lady Mel, The Credit Queen of the North, and the South #CreditBuilding #FinancialTips

Absolutely rocking session with Kate Montagna from Rally Credit Union as we answered the question of do you adopt a #loanorigination solution (LOS) or not and we walked through Rally’s amazing journey to selecting Baker Hill as the answer. We did this by reflecting on the wisdom of The Clash’s hit “Should I stay or should I go?” and it was such a fun session!! And no - I did not sing it. Thanks Kate for calling out the best practices in your due diligence process, your advice in project management and getting the vision to be a reality, and for sharing the success that you and your team has had over this past year. Absolutely crushing you year over year growth targets. Key takeaways from Kate: - Remember that are doing this to make life better for the #smallbusiness owner. If your goal is to not make thier banking experience better, then you are doing it for the wrong reason. Operational efficiency IS important, but it may not be a sustainable driver when you look to break into business lending in your CU foot print. - Focus on the key drivers and not the items that outside the scope of success. To quote The Clash, somethings are “Always tease, tease, tease”. Stay focused and don’t get distracted. - When it comes to business lending, credit unions cannot just take consumer products and slap a “+” on it and call it a business product. Like the song says “Exactly whom I supposed to be, don’t you know which clothes even fit me”, so do not make the mistake of not tailoring your approach and solutions to the small business. The #memberbusiness and commercial #lending tracks at the America's Credit Unions Lending Council have been so interactive and the sharing of ideas has been fantastic. So glad that I could be a part of it with Kate and Rally CU! #BakerHill #creditunion #londoncalling #rockthecreditunion #punkrock #punkbanker

Credit unions are cooperatives of people helping people, and the benefits are shown in the numbers. Between 2023 to 2024, nearly 140 million credit union members gained $25 billion in direct financial benefits. That’s approximately $376 per member household! Since credit unions charge less for loans, pay more on deposits, and charge fewer and lower fees than banking institutions, members gain more.
