CUSOs
Brian Lauer
More people are turning to member-owned credit unions for their banking needs. But most credit unions can’t provide the wide range of services offered by large global institutions and lack the resources to keep up with evolving technologies. Credit unions must become more flexible to remain vital—and Credit Union Service Organizations can make that happen.
This essential handbook explains the rules, risks, and rewards of forming or joining a CUSO, a working partnership that combines the individual strengths of multiple credit unions and financial technology entrepreneurs. Brian Lauer explores every aspect of this game-changing collaboration, from creation through operation, and the tremendous opportunities it affords credit union management stakeholders and fintech innovators alike.
In a highly competitive banking market, credit unions need to expand their financial horizons. CUSOs offers a bold strategic vision for maximizing efficiency and encouraging innovation to provide credit union members with more options and a higher level of service.
