New Year’s resolutions for credit unions in 2016

Making New Year’s Resolutions is easy…sticking to them, not so much. So here are some tips and tricks to help your credit union successfully tackle the biggies.

Lose weight. Technology’s come a long way since the days of Jane Fonda exercise tapes. For credit unions, shedding the unwanted “weight” of old, excess EFT networks that are slowing down organizations is as easy as switching to an updated, comprehensive EFT network.

Quit smoking. By adjusting your fraud-detection tools to better monitor your EFT traffic, you’ll feel less stressed — and maybe less tempted to take a drag.

More exercise. You can give your credit union more “muscle” in the real world by strengthening a few perks and programs, such as ATM access. Or, you can get your credit union in better shape by adding new features, like a mobile person-to-person payment application.

Get organized. Declutter! Offload ATM management to a trusted network partner. An ATM management solution can help credit unions by reducing operating costs, while monitoring regulatory and security compliance.

Enjoy life more. Whittle down those long office hours — and save yourself a few headaches — by working with trusted partners who can help your credit union in research, planning, and analysis activities.

Spend More Time With Family. The biggest thing that sets credit unions apart, is how we’re all in this together. As a collaborative, cooperative industry we should work as a group to bring the “not for profit, not for charity, but for service” philosophy to the American public, which they will surely welcome with open arms.

Here’s to a spectacular 2016!
