Personalized savings journeys should be part of your comprehensive deposit strategy.

Financial institutions are aggressively competing to attract deposits and savings accounts. Liquidity risk for credit unions, in particular, has been identified by the National Credit Union Administration as one of the biggest challenges in 2023.
