I had the opportunity to visit the CSCU Conference in Tampa, FL, a couple weeks ago and got to learn all that I wanted to learn about EMV, payments, and tokenization -- all hot topics in the FI world right now. I also had the pleasure of seeing former Blue Angels pilot John Foley and former NFL Head Coach Tony Dungy speak, as well. Quite a treat.

Following the conference, I had a chance to speak with CSCU President Bob Hackney about the conference and more importantly the EMV, payments, and tokenization issues that grab our industry headlines each week. Some great insight from Bob on these subjects -- along with many other items of card interest to credit unions. Check it out!

At CUbroadcast, we are always on the lookout for financial technology that can really make a difference. And we've already featured a few in the last month or so. In today's episode, we check out Ondot Systems' consumer remote control for credit cards. A simple premise with some highly technical processes in the background, Ondot's remote control -- which is your mobile, by the way -- allows consumers to control access, location, and spending on their credit cards.

To get the details of this Finovate Best-of-Show solution, we invited Ondot's Rachna Ahlawat to discover how credit unions can benefit from this type of credit card control. In addition to finding out more about this technology, Rachna provides some startling stats on fraud reduction and spending increases that financial institutions can experience with Ondot. Check it out!

We're back for part 2 of our ride along with Best Innovation Group's Founder John Best, as we dive deeper into our mobile payments discussion -- even visiting a company that has learned to do it right Starbucks. According to John, credit unions could learn a thing or two from the giant coffee retailer's mobile payments and promotions efforts that have garnered the company tops in this area.

We also discuss a new, industry technology conference that John plans to host in the spring of 2015 that will put a few new wrinkles in the event arena. Listen in to this episode for all the details -- and much more!

In this episode of CUbroadcast, we go for a ride -- literally -- with BIG's Founder and former Wescom Credit Union CTO John Best. Yes, we are in the passenger seat with John on this metaphorically-laden interview on how mobile payments is fixing to dictate our lives -- and how credit unions can play a crucial role.

Before we get into the mobile payments topic, we discuss John's latest venture: Best Innovation Group (BIG) -- his financial technology services consulting firm. BIG is more like a financial technology services community where industry programmers can share ideas and even code -- an industry first.

There's plenty more in part 1 of this ride along with John Best. Check it out!
