Send us Fan MailIn the first half of 2026 credit union mergers were down, admits Peter Duffy, a mergers expert now with Strategic Resource Management - but don't expect that to be a permanent downturn.Mergers will pick up and there will continue to be big credits merging with big credit unions.Duffy, who has guested on the show multiple times before, is one of the leading experts on the subject of credit union mergers.  On this episode he tells why there's been a slowing in 2026, and also why it seems an inevitability that we will see renewed interest among credit unions in doing a merger.It was just a handful of years ago when a credit union merger was something of a rarity and when it did occur it usually was what I have long called a mercy marriage - some might call it a shotgun wedding - which meant a big credit union swallowed a little one at the request of a regulator.What's different now is that many - most? - credit unions have begun to see merger as a strategic gambit that just might be the right path into a more successful future.Hear the full story about mergers in 2026 - listen up!Like what you are hearing?

Download the 2026 Retail Banking Trends and Priorities report for free: https://www.digitalbankingreport.com/trends/2026-retail-banking-trends-and-priorities/?YouTubeIV50 This is the wrong moment for a bank or credit union to slow its AI deployment. Our own industry said so before any of this noise started. Public unease about artificial intelligence is high, and the people building the world's most advanced systems have started saying out loud that the pace needs to slow. Pew found that 63% of Americans think AI is advancing too quickly, against 2% who think it is moving too slowly. Inside banking, that atmosphere has begun functioning as permission to wait. Jim Marous opens this episode with a board director who asked the question directly: should the institution slow down because of everything he had been reading? Jim argues the answer was settled months ago in a quieter moment. Surveyed by their own trade association, banks described themselves as cautious about AI and still concluded that inaction carries the higher cost, through deeper vendor dependence, internal expertise that never develops, and ground lost as AI becomes part of everyday banking. Nothing in the recent wave of warnings touches any of those three, because the argument at the top of the industry is about how quickly to build the next generation of models, and retail banking is not building them. The episode then does something unusual with the year's scariest AI story. Read closely, the recent disclosures of unexpected model behavior describe a governance failure any banker would recognize: systems rewarded for the wrong things, tasks that could not be completed, errors nobody wrote down. That reframes the whole debate as operating guidance, and it leads into a plain answer to where AI belongs in next year's plan, which use cases to deploy today, which one to pilot where the customer can see it, and what to hold until an approval step exists. About: Banking Transformed is hosted by Jim Marous, a top five banking industry influencer and Co-Publisher of The Financial Brand. Banking Insights episodes deliver the most important strategic ideas in under ten minutes, for the executive who wants the takeaway without the deep dive.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/Safety and soundness has been referred to in examinations from here to eternity, and until now nobody could tell you where it was defined. The FDIC and the OCC have finalized a rule that puts a definition on “unsafe or unsound practice” for the first time, for both enforcement actions under 12 USC 1818 and supervisory activities. NCUA did not join.Mark Treichel is joined by Steve Farrar and Todd Miller of Credit Union Exam Solutions to work through what the rule actually says, why it reads a great deal like a section buried in NCUA's own National Supervision Policy Manual, and what credit unions should take from a rule that does not apply to them.Steve Farrar spent the first part of his NCUA career in the field, predominantly as a problem case officer working conservatorships, liquidations, and assisted mergers. He then spent fifteen years in the central office in the Division of Risk Management, training examiners in problem resolution and working on the enforcement manual and risk-based capital, and finished as a vice president of the Central Liquidity Facility. Todd Miller spent 34 years at NCUA — fourteen as a problem case officer and examiner in the Western Region, a decade as a regional capital markets specialist with a hand in writing much of the agency's interest rate risk and liquidity policy, and another decade as a director of special actions supervising problem case officers and regional specialists.The conversation covers where unsafe and unsound actually lives in the Federal Credit Union Act and in Part 741, the two-part test in the final rule, the shift from “merely possible” to “likely,” the exclusion of reputation risk that is not tied to financial condition, the tailoring provision that forces a directive to get more specific as potential losses grow, the two changes between the proposal and the final rule, and the new supervisory observations category that lets examiners share expertise without creating a requirement that goes to the board. It closes with Todd reading NCUA's DOR criteria straight out of the NSPM — which, as he points out, rhymes.

Teller Cash Recyclers began as simpler teller cash machines, helping tellers more quickly count and store cash. They then evolved into cash recyclers, able to manage multiple cash cassettes and recycle customer deposits for withdrawals. Over time, they seen further improvements such as larger capacity and vault features.At the same time, many banks chose to use older TCRs or even rebuy older models, which can cause costs on both the customer and employee experience side. Cook Solutions group joined ATM Marketplace on today's episode of the Bank Customer Experience podcast to discuss why these old TCRs can cost banks in the long term and how banks should address TCR strategy more broadly.Bradley Cooper, editor of ATM Marketplace, moderated the discussion with Katilyn Bridgers-Petrie, strategic solutions manager, and Scott Fieber, chief strategy officer at Cook Solutions Group.Fieber discussed how, for many banks, they allow TCRs to fall by the wayside, continuing to purchase legacy devices, as they view them as a commodity.One reason for that is that many FIs do not assign a C-level individual to oversee the TCR fleet, or, as Bridgers-Petrie discussed, "they had one 10 to 20 years ago, but roles changed over time, and the TCR fell by the wayside."Fieber mentioned several potential downsides of older machines, such as:Increased downtimes.Lost customer experience.More difficulty retaining staff.Once banks identify the need for a new TCR or strategy in place, Fieber recommended that they get everyone involved, including vendors and the decision makers into a strategic workshop to brainstorm ideas on how to manage rollout, and must-have technologies that deliver a stronger ROI.Bridgers-Petrie gave a few examples of must-have technology such as "self-auditing."She added that self-auditing means that "tellers are no longer having to spend time after hours to balance machines, audit all of your cash, you now have your TCR to do all of that for you. And with some manufacturers, you can do that completely unattended. You can have that done within the safe and no one is having to monitor that after hours like they previously done. That alone is a game changer and a big hit on the ROI."To hear more, listen to the rest of the podcast above.

Most women running a business already know how to hustle. What they do not always know is how to find business resources sitting right in front of them, and that gap can cost years of struggle. On this episode of Getting Rich Together, host Syama Bunten talks with Corinne Goble, CEO of the Association of Women's Business Centers, about business resources most founders never hear about even after building a company of their own. Corinne grew up around her mother's trucking business, then came back as a young adult to rebuild its books after an embezzlement hit the company. She explains how her own boss blocked her transfer to a dream government affairs job in Washington DC, and how that refusal became the reason she found the organization she now leads. Corinne also traces what it took to step in and help rebuild her mother's trucking business from the inside, learning firsthand what it means to grow, and eventually exit, a family company. She walks through the first thing she did after taking over an organization with no staff and a scattered membership list, and why that single decision rebuilt trust faster than any strategic plan could. Listen for her take on women entrepreneur mentorship programs and what financial independence for women entrepreneurs looks like once the right people show up.
