We are a supplier member of CUES (Credit Union Executives Society) and individual credit unions across the nation, and we bring financial education to their members and employees. This helps them measure and document consumer financial well-being and health. We are one of the only suppliers in the financial wellness industry who have access to this network.
Credit unions have expressed a demand for financial education geared toward their employees and members. Their employees are better positioned to answer member questions and make referrals when they understand how financial products and services work. Over many years, data from several credit unions have shown a positive correlation between employee financial education and referrals.
