TechCentral interview: FinTech and Credit Unions

Written by Emma Leahy | Jan 26, 2022 10:13:38 AM

Digital Transformation has never been a hotter topic for the financial sector! Our CTO, Ian Glenn is a guest on the TechRadio podcast, where he speaks to TechCentral.ie editor Niall Kitson about digital transformation in the Credit Union sector.

In this interview, Ian discusses recent research carried out by Wellington IT which found that Credit Unions are recognised for being trustworthy and delivering exceptional customer service, but many people didn’t realise that they offer digital services both online and through the cuMobile app. You can view that research in our whitepaper here. 

Ian mentions the increase in demand from members for digital services, especially among younger
demographics. He says that there is now an expectation from customers for digital access due to the
rise of fintechs in the Irish market.

Ian also notes the importance of accessibility and ease-of-use of the cuMobile app, and how
biometric technology helps to make it more user-friendly and creates a better customer experience.
He discusses how the app is being continuously improved and upgraded as technology evolves, and
how Wellington IT is currently looking at rebranding the app.
