Guest Post: 'The Future of Credit Unions' with Aite Group's Ron Shevlin from the 2014 CU Water Cooler Symposium...

11/25/2014

 
We have a real Thanksgiving treat for you this holiday week -- a guest post from Aite Group's Ron Shevlin (via our friends at CU Water Water Cooler) on "The Future of Credit Unions." This post is actually a recording of Ron's presentation at the 2014 CU Water Cooler Symposium, which took place in Austin, TX, a couple months ago.

I saw Ron's presentation live and I tell you it is well worth the review. So sit back this week and give it a watch and let it soak in as 2015 is almost upon us. And, again, many thanks to CU Water Cooler for letting us post this recording of Ron Shevlin's "The Future of Credit Unions." Enjoy!

Ron's original post on CU Water Cooler...
Editor's note: While we were able to capture Ron's audio from his talk, we had a technical issue with the video footage. However, we feel that being able to view the slides and hear Ron is still very useful and informative.

Credit unions have a rich history of helping consumers with their financial needs. The logo with the “little guy” holding an umbrella, shielding him from financial distress and hard times is burnished in the minds of many credit union professionals. But times have changed. We’re a much more affluent society than we were 70 years ago. Nearly nine in 10 Americans have a high school diploma, in contrast to only three in 10 back when the little guy was created. Average household income has skyrocketed—even holding consistent for inflation. The amount of money the average US household spends on everyday goods and things is up 50% from just 20 years ago. 

My presentation, The Future of Credit Unions, is about how consumers’ changing needs create opportunities and challenges for the credit union of the future, who will become the advisor to financially-engaged consumers. In this context, advice is less about asset allocation, but more about advice and guidance on everyday money management.

I hope that people who watch my presentation will be motivated to reinvent their credit union—and, in particular, their credit union’s business model—to address the future financial needs of an emerging group of consumers who are far more engaged in the management of their financial lives than previous generations were.
