The financial industry has witnessed a transformation with embedded insurance. This new digital approach seamlessly integrates insurance coverage into various consumer touch points. Embedded insurance has emerged as a game-changer for loan payment insurance, offering benefits to both lenders and borrowers.

In recent years, credit unions have grown accustomed to the regular occurrence of market volatility and its effects. Surging deposits and liquidity surpluses were widespread with rates at historically low levels, only to go the other way sooner than most expected. Now, rates are at the highest they have been in years and credit unions are facing a shortage of liquidity on top of continued strength in loan demand.

Over the past several years, evolving consumer expectations have served as a catalyst for payments innovation. From P2P to mobile wallets, and contactless to buy online/pickup in store (BOPIS), consumers have been open to trying new methods of payment to attain greater convenience, less friction and more financial stability.

In today's digital-driven world, credit union lenders are working to improve member service at every critical touchpoint. Evolving member expectations are pushing for more convenient options, like online membership and loan applications with quick decisions.

Building a strategy to grow your credit union could be as easy as looking at your current membership for inspiration.
