The expectations for modern digital payment and money movement capabilities and experiences are accelerating. Driven by digital experiences in their consumer lives, members are expecting to have the same, frictionless experiences in their financial lives whether they’re making a P2P transfer, funding a new account, or paying a loan (which is often the experience that dictates whether an indirect member becomes a direct member).

Unfortunately, many of today’s credit unions are struggling to keep up with these expectations. This gap is allowing traditional competitors, as well as digital wallet providers, challenger banks, and fintechs to prevail. Join us on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. ET to hear from Mark Ranta, Payments Practice Lead at Alacriti and learn:

• How COVID-19 has raised the bar for what members expect for digital service

• Real-life use cases for payments modernization for members
• Recommendations for planning for 2022
