Those founding partner sponsors include Alkami, Balance, CO-OP Solutions, CUNA Mutual Group and Prodigy. “Congratulations on five years of extraordinary impact. I remember doing our first strategic session with the Underground partners,” stated Shazia Manus, svp experience capabilities for CUNA Mutual Group and a frequent presenter at the meetings. “Today, Underground Collisions are must-attend events if you want to be in the know. I can’t wait to hear what people say this year in D.C.” 

Some of the companies that have helped to bring everyone together as part of the “Underground Tribe” also issued statements of congratulations, including:

Statements of Congratulations

  • “Going Underground from the penthouse is a paradox we relate to as we are turning collections upside down with analytics that help members during times of hardship and frustration,” said Jay Mossman, Founder and CEOofAKUVO. “Once a member, always a member is our belief, and helping people through tough will build loyalty forever.”
  • “2023 is going to be a unique year… and there are many opportunities for credit unions. How do we find them? I am pleased to be joining the Underground for an open discussion on the steps we need to take to succeed in this evolving economic environment,” noted Tony Boutelle, president and CEO of Origence.
  • “The Underground is all about ideas into action and Trellance believes this is a great platform to share insights, garner business intelligence and learn from industry thought leaders on how we can innovate a better member experience to grow the credit union industry,” stated CEO Tom Davis.
  • “Biased and inaccurate credit scoring systems are a thing of the past. We want to reach all people with our AI-automated underwriting technology that takes hundreds of data points to more accurately assess risk and gives a more complete picture of your borrower,” noted Mike de Vere, CEO of Zest AI. “I am passionate about helping credit unions give their members a fair shot at credit and providing access to the money they need to better their lives."

Mitchell Stankovic said that via a private setting, panelists will share their thoughts on controversial topics and create a buzz to start the week in Washington that will include CUNA’s GAC.
