The Owners are Here!
  • Topics for the day
  • Shedding Some Light on Industry Issues
  • Invest...Execute...Earn!
  • Last year we announced a Jump to the Future
    where are we today, and what does it mean to
    2009?
  • New Declarations
  • Can a network set goals to guarantee the
    difference?
  • A Year of Collaboration
  • It was a big year for the CUAnswers network for
    leading the industry towards a new kind of
    networked future
  • Randys Top Ten
  • Whats On Your Mind?

4
Shedding Some Light on Industry Issues
  • Misery loves company when youre grading on a
    scale...so when rainy skies have everyone
    hunkering down, what should you be thinking about
    for when the sun comes out again?

5
Navigating a StormWhile Planning to be Stronger
on the Other Side
  • You can read, watch TV, and figure out for
    yourself, the national news on our economy is not
    that great
  • But the effect from the perspective of members
    and credit unions might be a little different
    during this phase in our economy
  • Now may be the best time to invest for the
    inevitable next phase

6
Navigating a StormWhile Planning to be Stronger
on the Other Side
  • CUAnswers will kick off the day with two
    investments in your 2009 business year
  • The upcoming COLA increases will be capped at
    0.01 per member!
  • Online ATM/Debit transaction prices will be
    slashed by 0.005 (down 6.6) for 2009!
  • You can read, watch TV, and figure out for
    yourself, the national news on our economy is not
    that great
  • But the effect from the perspective of members
    and credit unions might be a little different
    during this phase in our economy
  • Now may be the best time to invest for the
    inevitable next phase

7
Responding to Stormy Skies
  • While there is no doubt there are CUs struggling
    with this change in the economy, the national big
    picture is not nearly as bleak as you might think
  • Have you considered that you might be the
    standout performer in your marketplace if you
    respond differently than your competition, right
    now?

8
Responding to Stormy SkiesWhen Its Raining,
Find an Umbrella Salesman
  • Its an old adage that members flock to safety in
    unsure times
  • Whats special about right now is that our
    competition might actually be encouraging it
    through their actions and response to a rampant
    time of speculation and bursting bubbles
  • Its an advantage to be local and deal with
    real-people experiences

9
Responding to Stormy SkiesWhat are your plans
for a sunny day?
  • This mortgage crisis is an opportunity for credit
    unions to shine
  • As members hunt for solutions to their problems,
    they are finding credit unions are on their side
    and still interested in building a relationship
  • The trick will be for us to come out the other
    side of this crisis as a long-term, trusted
    channel for member mortgage needs

10
Responding to Stormy SkiesWhat are your plans
for a sunny day?
  • Time to draw a line in the sand and make a big
    declaration...and back it up with actions and
    investment
  • Later today, well talk about how we will work at
    being known as one of the most aggressive
    mortgage servicing networks in the industry
  • This mortgage crisis is an opportunity for credit
    unions to shine
  • As members hunt for solutions to their problems,
    they are finding credit unions are on their side
    and still interested in building a relationship
  • The trick will be for us to come out the other
    side of this crisis as a long-term, trusted
    channel for member mortgage needs

11
Responding to Stormy SkiesWhen Its Raining,
Find an Umbrella Salesman
  • The pressure has been building for a long time on
    deceptive credit card practices
  • The voice of consumer groups is getting louder,
    and people are listening
  • Now a credit crisis, real or imagined, adds to
    the pain
  • If you are looking for disruptive signals and a
    time to get active, what more could you ask for?

12
Responding to Stormy SkiesWhen Its Raining,
Find an Umbrella Salesman
  • CUBASE online credit card programs are growing
    like crazy, but lets invest a bit more
  • In 2009, any CU processing their credit card
    portfolio online with CUBASE will see an
    additional price decrease of 0.005 for ATM/Debit
    transactions...for a total savings in 2009 of
    13.3 on ATM/Debit activity
  • The pressure has been building for a long time on
    deceptive credit card practices
  • The voice of consumer groups is getting louder,
    and people are listening
  • Now a credit crisis, real or imagined, adds to
    the pain
  • If you are looking for disruptive signals and a
    time to get active, what more could you ask for?

13
Responding to Stormy SkiesEverybodys Putting
Money Away For a Rainy Day
14
Responding to Stormy SkiesEverybodys Putting
Money Away For a Rainy Day
  • Its always a balancing act, understanding the
    flows between emerging delinquencies and
    budgeting the provision for loan loss,
    actualizing charge-offs, and then taking your
    chances with the next delinquency report
  • It appears credit unions are doing a good job
  • What are you learning about collections right
    now?

15
Responding to Stormy SkiesEverybodys Putting
Money Away For a Rainy Day
CUAnswers invested more in Collections during
2008 than in the previous five years
combined LenderVP Collections is making a huge
difference in why With delinquency on everyones
mind, are you planning to revamp how you see
Collections in 2009?
  • Its always a balancing act, understanding the
    flows between emerging delinquencies and
    budgeting the provision for loan loss,
    actualizing charge-offs, and then taking your
    chances with the next delinquency report
  • It appears credit unions are doing a good job
  • What are you learning about collections right
    now?

16
Right Now, Credit Unions Stand OutRemember Its
a Sliding Scale
17
Responding to Stormy SkiesBack to Reality...Its
Not All Good News
  • When it gets to the end of the month, and you
    have to look at your income instatement, and your
    balance sheet all by itself, its not as easy to
    think about an industry perspective, graded on a
    scale
  • Its still tough to make big plans on 60 basis
    points of ROA and an asset base that still seems
    too small
  • It is the time to strike, invest, and
    innovate...because to emerge from the other side
    of a storm with new opportunities, you have to be
    truly different than you were on the day the
    skies darkened

18
The Pressures Will Be the Same...
  • ...unless we address these issues in anticipation
    of the next phase
  • We need to pump new energy into traditional,
    maturing ideas
  • We need to capture the benefits of scale
  • We need to be relevant to the next generation
  • So when all the pundits remind the market that in
    bad times, credit unions shine, we can only smile
    for a second, and then get right back to work on
    ensuring that well be here, every time theres a
    bad time

19
Knowing Your Member is Still the Key to Future
Relevance
20
Knowing Your Member is Still the Key to Future
Relevance
  • More than knowing your members for who they are
    right now, standing still, we need to look at
    where they are going, and then make sure we are
    moving as fast as they are
  • So lets get this party started!

21
Invest...Execute...Earn!
  • Like clockwork, you can count on us to spend the
    money, develop the products, and put the products
    in your hands, year in and year out
  • Are you earning on these investments?

Jumping to the FutureEvolving Capabilities
  • The confidence to redefine yourself and to reset
    the foundation for the next go-around requires
    leadership
  • And that brings us to the Robert H. Mackay award

The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but
not rude be kind, but not weak be bold, but not
bully be thoughtful, but not lazy be humble,
but not timid be proud, but not arrogant have
humor, but without folly. Words to live by,

46
Jumping to the FutureATM Pause for a Cause
A note from the EFT Team... Lately, CUs have
been making decisions about changing vendors, new
program startups (such as HSA debit cards), or
minor configuration changes with their
vendor...but leaving CUAnswers out of the
loop. We dont want to slow you down, but if we
have to scramble at the last minute to make sure
your plans stay on track, everything is at
risk. In 2008, we created a new position
specifically to coordinate with you and be your
liaison to our programming team. Our EFT Product
Specialist is Nadine Thomas (nthomas_at_cuanswers.com
, ext. 141). Much like a conversion
coordinator, Nadine is at your beck and call from
the time you think about making a change, to the
moment that change goes live. Please take
advantage of this new resource we need to be
involved in the choices you make with your
ATM/Debit vendor!
Dont let your network salesman sell you into a
poorly planned change!
47
An ATM Sidebar...PBFs 7 Days for the Price of 5!
  • Sending PBFs 7 days a week...for the same price
    as 5 days a week
  • Operations will be offering a new service to send
    PBFs up to 7 days a week
  • Beginning with the 2009 business year (Oct. 1,
    2008)
  • Look for announcements coming soon on what is
    available from your switch (5, 6, or 7 days)
  • Make sure you verify the cost of additional days
    with your vendor before you give us the green
    light
  • PBFs might not be your best bet for avoiding EFT
    fraud dig a little deeper when it comes to
    understanding daily limits, deposit holds, and
    your options when your vendor is offline

The big question is, when (if ever) will PBFs go
away?

    e-statements and daily reports through CUSPY do
    so via the CoWWW (OSI) software
  • During the 2008 business year we have completed a
    gap analysis on the current processes used for
    CUSPY that integrate with CUBASE and Its Me
    247 online banking
  • During 4th Qtr 2008, CUAnswers and eDOC will
    start a project to replace the CoWWW software
    and fully integrate CUBASE and Its Me 247
    with eDOC solutions

58
That brings us to Its Me 247...
December 5, 2007
  • ..a date that will live in infamy (for many of
    you)

Personal Technology A Consumer Wave, or an
Addiction?
  • How do we respond to a marketplace that seems to
    be going a thousand miles an hour, when most of
    our members seem to be standing still?

60
Gadgets or Business? A Member Tactic Does Not
Always Equal a CU Business
  • My team spends a lot of time trying to interpret
    current trends and all the crazy things people do
    today, to figure out whether we can credit
    union-ize a consumer activity and make it a
    business reality for our organizations
  • Its more than keeping upwith the Joneses
  • How do we navigategadgets, fads,
    infatuations,and passing fancies to come up
    with winning solutions?

Gadgets or Business? A Member Tactic Does Not
Always Equal a CU Business
  • Does everything that todays consumer does with
    personal technology, translate to something they
    want to do with the credit union?
  • Text messaging?
  • Watching YouTube videos?
  • Social networking?
  • Surfing the Net?
  • Downloading songs?
  • Camera phones Check 21?
  • ...that next big thing you readabout in a
    magazine?

For all of us, this is real we invest, we
develop solutions We need to figure this out
together

inbox that says they have a relationship with
you? Private is private

  • Most recent changes
  • Ability to allow online PIB access for staff but
    not for members, or to switch gears down the
    road

    to all member PIB profiles
  • PIB is a very important tool in managing online
    risk you need to get active
  • PIB is becoming a major platform for extending
    new services to your membership you need to get
    active

So if you thought PIB was yesterdays news, think
again In the next 12 months, you need to get
active with these ideas
79
Risk Assessments for Online Activities...NOT a
one-time event!
  • Expanded passwords for online banking
  • We have no choice . . . Do you?
  • As of June, 19 CUs still use the same PIN for
    audio and online banking (no change since
    January)
  • Some CUs still use passwords fewer than 6
    characters
  • Important Sunset Announcement
  • As of June 30, 2009
  • We will remove the ability for CUs to use the
    same PIN for audio response and online banking
  • We will increase the minimum password length from
    4 to 6 characters

Banca en línea en español(Online Banking in
Spanish)
  • In 2009, we will begin a project with a new
    CUBASE user to deliver a Spanish language
    version of Its Me 247 online banking
  • This will be a journey, not a project you can
    translate something, but does it still convey the
    right message in the other language?
  • Should we translate
  • Online Banking Community?
  • Every web page?
  • Our online help?
  • Your messages to your members?
  • Transaction descriptions?
  • Sales and product description information?

Where are members taking us?Deposits from Home
  • Remote Capture Member check deposits via an
    image that the member scans and sends from home
  • From eDOC, to the CO-OP Network, to the corporate
    credit union network everyone is working on the
    ideas around remote capture
  • It is easier than it is safe
  • Are you ready to jump onthis bandwagon?

Look for an eDOC solution early in 2009

Where are members taking us?Mobile/Cell Phone
Banking
  • We havent found a vendor that we believe has any
    of the following
  • A credit union willing to invest
  • A financial model to entice the CUSO to invest
  • A market analysis that says members are ready to
    adopt
  • A prospective client saying this is a deal
    breaker
  • Therefore, while I continue to have meetings,
    stay in the loop, and watch for signals, mostly
    its still a wait-and-see game for us

83
Where are members taking us?Text Messaging
  • Currently reviewing partners who would convert
    online banking and email messages sent to members
    from CUBASE, into text messages that could be
    distributed through the cell phone channel
  • Member Reach messages
  • Member-elected e-Alerts
  • Marketing messages around member preferences
  • The trick is defining who wants this kind of
    message and how to afford it
  • Today, an internally-developed solutiondoes not
    seem practical
  • What is your budget for text messagingto your
    members?

What are you thinking about?
When that one-in-a-thousand member walks in and
says, When will I be able to check my balance
through my car radio? what will you say? When
will Ford advertise that their Synch product will
dial into ARU? (I still think holographic
banking might be a way off)
85
Navigating the PossibilitiesWhat do we use for a
technology compass?
  • For it all to come together, we need a meeting of
    the minds on where members are taking us, whats
    hot, and whats the business opportunity

Lowest Cost of Going Active With InnovationA
Well-crafted Network
  • Last year we introduced the concept of A.S.A.P.
    (Ask, See, Act, Profit)
  • Zipping the process of marketing communications
  • How could a well-crafted network do the same for
    innovation?
  • Speed the time between finding an idea and
    executing on it
  • Speed the time between recognizing a need and
    delivering a solution
  • Eliminate the duplication of standalone work and
    replace it with the benefits of shared work
  • Well-crafted networks are rich in content and the
    tools that make all that is known, visible to all
    participants
  • But once things are visible, how do you make them
    your own? How could the relationships that we
    build in CUAnswers allow us to simply import,
    append, or ratify your next solution?

    around leadership, coordination, succession
    planning, and HR standards with a new-age respect

    orientations, tracking team activities, or simply
    organizing the tens of thousands of documents,
    forms, and stuff that we need to do our

Offering an Intranet to Your Credit Union
  • Our new partnership with Passageways is a unique
    venture
  • It is based on the mutual aspirations of both
    CUAnswers and Passageways to build an aggressive
    network of Intranets for a new kind of sharing
  • It started with an investment by CUAnswers that
    assures every CUBASE CU the chance to use one of
    the premier portal tools on the market
  • This shared investment will allow CUAnswers to
    extend this new ASP service to your CU through
    our existing education and web services channels
  • Both CUAnswers and Passageways are investing
  • How much do we have to charge for the software?
    (0, according to the contract the software is
    paid for)
  • How much will it take in support to get your team
    up and running? (best guess, 1K-2K one-time
    fee, but your do-it-yourself attitude might
    surprise me)

This is truly a network investment, and it will
take until January 2009 for us to deliver the
details

  • The payoff from this investment is not the direct
    return of monthly revenues or big up-front

    network of digital organizations that thrive, and
    seeing what opportunities there are in sharing

Tiered Service The Network View
  • This booklet was designed from a new program that
    aggregates Tiered Services scoring of all
    CUAnswers online credit unions in a single
    operation
  • We anticipate adding a command key to the Tiered
    Services analysis that would allow you to view
    and compare your results with the network on a
    monthly basis
  • Benchmark your performance
  • Search for what you have in common and what
    makes you different
  • Inspire your teams
  • Search for peers who might help you with your
    next idea

Lowest Cost In the Industry for ComplianceA
Collaborative View
  • Its easy to agree and cooperate on things that
    have a single answer
  • 112 ... everyone agree?
  • That is, until we dont all use the same formula
  • BSA method 1 Combine in and out
  • BSA method 2 Separate in from out
  • The interpretation of rules, and then how to
    execute on that interpretation, never seems to
    have a single answer
  • Reg. D configurations, Reg. E configurations, BSA
    configurations, Chart of Accounts
    configurations...
  • For a data processor, whose golden rule is we
    create tools, not rules building a compliance
    company is a real challenge

From the DP perspective, you are on your own
when it comes to gray areas in compliance But
what about our CUSO, our network perspective?
Could it be different?
101
Lowest Cost In the Industry for ComplianceA
Collaborative View
  • So from the CUSO perspective, could we build a
    cooperative, collaborative view of how to comply?
  • Could we have a working model to analyze,
    understand, and even make judgment calls about
    one way to do it?
  • Could we have a working model that aggressively
    tries to drive down the cost of day-to-day
    execution around compliance and auditing?
  • Could we use that aggressive model to improve the
    software and tool foundation that everyone uses
    in diverse ways?
  • The vision is Yes and in 2008, we are starting
    Audit Link

102

Link
  • Audit Link is like SRS Bookkeeping

  • Drive throughput as hard as possible and innovate

  • Share with everyone, clients and non-clients,
    what we learn be a template for everybody

  • The problem Sources of activity that fall under
    BSA monitoring rules are changing
  • CUBASE shared branch activity
  • National shared branch activity
  • Unspecified activity (will ATMs ever fall in
    here?)
  • To date, weve resisted and followed suit with
    the nationals, trying to exclude shared branch
