Biggest Mistake CU Leaders Can Make? Fear of Making Mistake, Says One Person

HENDERSON, Nev.–The biggest error any credit union can make? Fear of errors, according to one person.

Jeff LoCastro

“The biggest thing I see with credit unions is that they are afraid to make a mistake, which is a gigantic mistake,” said Jeff LoCastro, founder/CEO of Neener Analytics during an interview with Susan Mitchell, CEO of Mitchell, Stankovic & Associates and founder of the Underground. LoCastro’s comments came during an Underground Chat. “In order to move past roadblocks, be willing to test it, try it and make a mistake because you will find the answer.”

According to LoCastro, the best ways to put ideas into action for innovation include:

  • Personalization is Key. Put the “I know you” back into your member relations. “Ensure relevancy by including personalization in marketing, decisioning and relationship building.”
  • Be the Disruptor. “Every day startups and fintechs are working to destroy credit unions. Let’s disrupt banking on our own terms.”
