CUengage Founder and Managing Partner Jame Guild and Maps Credit Union President/CEO Mark Zook joined us in the Studio Lounge to discuss a growing issue in today's credit union world: filtering out the good, the bad, and the ugly fintechs for credit unions' best needs.

According to Mark Sievewright's keynote, more than 4,000 fintechs have graced the shores of credit union land -- and that's a lot of filtering on who's right and who's wrong for your credit union. James and Mark do a great job breaking down this issue.

VISA Head of Community Accounts Doug Leighton was on one of the best blockchain panels I've seen ever (CULedger President/CEO John Ainsworth, BCU SVP/CIO Jeff Johnson, and Constellation Digital Partners CEO Kris Kovacs -- facilitated by Finivation CEO/Co-founder Brian Bodell). Fascinating discussion from some of our industry's top minds for sure.

But there was one nugget that Doug stated during the panel conversation that stuck with me and I had to ask him during our brief interview: how blockchain can help 45 million "credit invisible" consumers -- and the credit union connection.

Check out our chat on this topic and more with Doug and let us know your thoughts.
