Discover the CCUA's Webinar Wednesday series, designed to bring educational insights, innovative solutions, and member-focused services directly to you. Held on Wednesdays of each month, this series features timely topics and expert perspectives to keep credit unions ahead in a dynamic industry.
When it comes to engaged, core membership, credit unions know what made the difference: magical, in-person conversations. But as member behavior shifts, so must the approach. For disengaged segments—such as Gen Z, Millennials, indirect members, and dormant accounts—reimagining member retention isn’t optional; it’s mission critical.
In today’s digital-first world, learn from Sparrow CEO and credit union technologist, Harrison Hochman, how to:
- Recreate the magic: Unpack the science behind memorable, personal interactions—and how to replicate them digitally.
- Level the playing field: Explore how even the smallest credit unions can compete and thrive.
- Learn from the best: Discover winning tactics already being used by credit unions across the country.
- Build lasting loyalty: Implement best practices for fostering multi-product loyalty and long-term engagement.
