MADISON, Wis.–The Filene Research Institute is crediting its Inner Circle with influencing its agenda through the funding of six Centers of Excellence launched by Filene since early 2020.
Filene said the Inner Circle CUs represent nearly $240 billion in assets and serving 13.5 million members.
“By engaging in our work, we’ve watched credit unions expand their capacity and capabilities to rapidly innovate, expand their digital footprint, redefine their value proposition and mine for continued growth,” said President & CEO Mark Meyer. “Credit unions are showing up for their employees, members and communities while finding opportunities to grow and lead within the financial services sector. The focused longitudinal research and incubation Filene conducts around the most pressing challenges faced by this industry would not be possible without the forward-thinking innovation mindsets of our Inner Circle supporters.”
