We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.
My guest on today’s show is Allen Jingst, Chief Revenue Officer at Coviance. Allen talks about his passion for people and technology sales which led him on his career journey to his current role. Coviance is a technology-focused lending platform that makes home equity and HELOC lending simpler, faster, and friction-free. Coviance’s goal is to create a better and faster lending experience for credit unions, their members, and employees.
During our conversation, Allen talks about automating the lending process while enhancing the human touch to improve member experiences. The team at Coviance supports credit unions during the entire process of analyzing, innovating, and initiating new workflows. Allen believes credit unions are long standing financial institutions with a lot of insight to leverage. As we look to the future, Coviance is focused on perfecting the lending experience and continuously improving the process so credit unions can operate more efficiently and gain new members through real estate loans. Listen as Allen shares how credit unions can encourage each other to innovate and lead the movement forward.
