Introducing our keynote speaker…

Digital Transformation: Challenges & Opportunities in a New Era of Banking

Speaker: Micah Jindal, Managing Director & Senior Partner, Boston Consulting Group

Credit Union member expectations are changing faster than ever. In the daily life of driving, eating and shopping, consumers have become accustomed to getting service through their channel of choice, in real-time, and in a personalized way. And this is being enabled by the accelerating pace of changes in technology and AI. In this environment, how should credit unions adapt? Micah Jindal, a Senior Partner and Managing Director at BCG, will share his learnings from digital transformations undertaken by credit unions and regional banks. In this session, we’ll discuss what are “must-haves” in a digital world, how to maintain what’s core to the credit union mission when transforming, and key success factors to turn your vision into action.
