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 #CreditUnions #Collaboration #Innovation #NAFC
