CU 2.0 Podcast John Crews Nominated to Head the NCUA Board: The Story Inside the Beltway
Q: When do you think there would be a Senate vote?
It's hard to say precisely, but the expectation is to move through the process possibly before year-end, though delays are possible depending on the calendar and court-driven timing around regulatory appointments.
CU 2.0 Podcast John Crews Nominated to Head the NCUA Board: The Story Inside the Beltway
Q: Now, we have a new nominee for the NCUA board chair, and both ACU and DCUC rushed to applaud this name, John Crews. So what's your take on this?
He seems like a good choice with extensive Treasury and congressional experience, including time with the Senate Banking Committee, which should help him navigate confirmation and governance; the interviews suggest he has the right mix of policy exposure and industry understanding to earn broad support.
CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 408 Raisin's Alastair Wood Brings High Yield Savings Accounts to Credit Unions
Q: How does Raisin ensure customer funds are safe and regulated given fintechs often move money digitally?
Raisin never touches customer money; deposits are moved by a federally regulated bank and held in custodial accounts with insured institutions, ensuring security and regulatory compliance throughout the process.
CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 408 Raisin's Alastair Wood Brings High Yield Savings Accounts to Credit Unions
Q: What's the process for a credit union going live with Raisin, and what kind of disruption should they expect?
Going live with Raisin is simple and turnkey: the credit union signs an agreement with Raisin and with the custodial bank, completes standard due diligence and security checks, and can be live within weeks with minimal internal resource requirements.
CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 409 Instant Payments Have Come to Smaller Credit Unions
Q: What is the practical timeline for implementing these capabilities for a credit union?
Receiving instant payments can be enabled in roughly 45-60 days after onboarding, while sending capabilities typically require 90-120 days to allow for internal training and a smoother member experience.
