Manage episode 343789666 series 3399734
In our inaugural podcast episode, host Jody Bhagat talks to Dennis Devine, President, and CEO of Alliant Credit Union, about its member-first strategy.
Having previously held senior leadership roles at KeyBank, Citizens Financial Group and PNC Bank, Dennis reveals some of the ways in which his personal approach to customer-driven innovation has changed over the years, and how these past experiences have prepared him to head a credit union with $16 billion in assets, one of the 10 largest credit unions in the US.
In 2014, Alliant Credit Union, realized that 96% of the transactions occurring in its branches could be done digitally, sparking a decision to move towards a digital-first model. So how does a digital-first credit union with no physical branches creates an outstanding customer experience?
“The benefit [of being digital-first] is the best cost structure in the industry, without the cost of a far-reaching and often underutilized branch network. We’re able to take those cost savings and give them back to our customers.”
Dennis also discusses some of the key challenges that the industry will need to address in order to deliver more personalized member experiences in the future. For example, consumers typically have relationships with several financial institutions, leaving banks and credit unions with a fragmented picture of their true financial situation.
