When it comes to the roller coaster world of mortgage lending, credit unions can use all the data they can get to garner new business. CU Members Mortgage has done just that by launching a new business mortgage intelligence tool to analyze a wide variety of mortgage data that can be most beneficial for credit unions looking for a leg up in this area.
CU Members Mortgage AVP of Marketing Alison Barksdale joins us on the show to give us the inside scoop on their new intelligence tool: why they developed it, how does it work with a credit union's current mortgage lending process, benefits to credit unions, and much, much more.

To clarify the latest round of jousting toward credit unions by the banking industry, we invited CUNA Chief Advocacy Officer Ryan Donovan on the show. Ryan provided five facts about credit unions banks don't seem to be sharing when bringing up credit unions in their discussions:
Ryan shared how important this information is for credit unions to consistently provide their congressional representatives, continuing the education of the industry's "people helping people" mantra -- especially heading into a major election year in 2020.
