In an era of intense competition and evolving member expectations, credit unions must embrace innovative strategies to differentiate themselves and drive long-term success. Embedded protection represents a revolutionary approach to integrating financial security and peace of mind directly into the banking experience.

By seamlessly incorporating these comprehensive protective features, credit unions can offer an unparalleled sense of security and trust to their members and break out of the sea of sameness of their competitors.

The session will also delve into real-world examples and case studies, demonstrating how insurance as an added service value is a key component of a holistic member strategy that promotes financial inclusivity and provides access to vital insurance products for underserved communities. Join Wysh to discover the transformative potential of embedded protection and gain actionable insights for implementing this powerful strategy within your credit union.

Attendee Takeaways:

  • Discover how embedded protection promotes financial inclusivity and aligns with the core values of credit unions by providing access to insurance products for underserved communities.
  • Explore the multiple revenue streams that are possible when adding embedded insurance to current products, in turn driving deposit growth and creating a “sticky savings” element that is resistant to attrition.
  • Understand how embedded protection can help credit unions differentiate their offerings and strengthen loyalty as a holistic approach to member service and retention.
