Day 3 Breakout Sessions

Session 1

Reimagining the Rails: Keeping the Future of Money Local

The future of money is already here—moving faster than most credit unions and CUSOs are prepared to follow. As member funds increasingly flow into digital wallets and decentralized exchanges, credit unions face a defining moment: evolve and collaborate, or watch liquidity and relevance fade.

This session invites leaders to roll up their sleeves and explore how collaboration across credit unions, CUSOs, and fintechs can rewrite the rails of financial infrastructure. Through the story of St. Cloud Financial Credit Union’s CU-Digital Asset Vault and other emerging models, CEO Jed Meyer will show how smaller institutions can innovate safely, strategically, and together.

This conversation moves beyond theory—examining the cooperative advantage that allows community-based institutions to adapt faster, mitigate risk, and design the next generation of trust-anchored digital experiences. Attendees will leave inspired and equipped to act—understanding not just what’s coming, but how to play in it without losing their identity or member mission.

Session 2

Non-Interest Income, Equity Growth, Protecting Members, Increased Wallet Share? What is the true value of P&C Insurance offered by a Credit Union?

Attendees will break down the non-interest income potential of an insurance CUSO and how an insurance CUSO becomes an asset with real equity on the balance sheet. Highlights include the transactional value of this equity on the open market and discussion of a recent case study of a credit union that sold their insurance CUSO. And, discover why that transaction showcases the real financial value of an insurance CUSO.  Lastly, attendees will chat about the non-financial benefits insurance CUSO's bring to credit unions.
