Spotlight Sessions

Powering Digital Transformation

Presented by: Henrique Godinho, Interim VP Digital and Payments, Central 1 and joined by Vincent Bezemer, Regional Director, Backbase and Central 1’s management team

To power the digital transformation of credit unions, Central 1 is offering innovative digital solutions to credit unions to help them stay ahead of the curve, differentiate from the competition and meet the increasing demands of its members. This session will preview of some of our new solutions. In particular, we will showcase for the first time the UX Platform, its capabilities and how digital innovations will enhance the customer experience. With a focus on autonomy and ownership, the UX platform is customizable by a credit union to the specific needs of their customers. It provides access to global innovations with an application marketplace using a customer driven approach to banking.

Making Money, Managing Money, Moving Money 

Presented by: Central 1’s Treasury and Economics teams

Making, managing and moving money is essential to your business. Noteworthy changes are in sight and Central 1 is a key player. We are working to address changes and leverage new opportunities to position credit unions for success. In this session, experts from Central 1 will share trends and insights on what’s to come with the economy, payment modernization initiatives, and discuss opportunities where your credit union can play a role and adapt to the changing marketplace.
