| 9/2/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 420 Casap's AI Agents Tame Fraud at Chartway Federal Credit Union | Send us Fan Mail Casap was the best of show winner at Finovate fall 2025 and its business is this: building AI Agents for Disputes and Fraud resolution and it now has 50+ clients that it won with attention grabbing claims: Resolve claims in minutes, not weeks. Earn lasting loyalty. Cut fraud losses. This is a universe undergoing immense change, mainly due to the rise of so-called first party fraud which has surged globally. This is in contradistinction to third party fraud and that of cour... | 46m 25s | ||||||
| 8/26/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 419 AI Working Miracles in Arise Financial's Backoffice Operations | Send us Fan Mail There are times when credit union discussions about AI and how it’s transforming their operations detour into a reprise of the classic Wendy’s commercial: Where’s the beef? That is: where are the measurable benefits arising from AI use? And then into my email box pops an email from Christian Klacko, CEO of Kintera AI, who says his tools can be integrated into a credit union’s backoffice operations in 10 days and that the results come quickly. What results? In a ca... | 44m 01s | ||||||
| 8/19/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 418 Equipifi's Lo Smith on Why BNPL Just Keeps Growing | Send us Fan Mail I will admit it, when I first heard about BNPL - buy now pay later - I snorted that layaway had died years ago. I was wrong. BNPL has become a huge marketplace. Federal Reserve data pegs it at around $160 billion in consumer credit products. And the scary bit for credit unions is that fintechs own over 90% of that market and they aren’t sharing with FIs. Enter Equipifi which has as its mission empowering credit unions and community banks to offer BNPL to their mem... | 40m 12s | ||||||
| 8/17/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Tursio Tells How to Get the Info You Need Out of Your Core - Fast and Easy | Send us Fan Mail Corning Credit Union knew the answers it wanted were in the data on its Symitar core - the problem was getting the answers expeditiously so the information could be put to use when it was wanted. That wasn’t happening. Literally weeks could pass before the wanted information was in hand. Couldn’t it be faster? Corning Credit Union got in touch with startup Tursio. In this show Tursio co-founder and CEO Alekh Jindal tells about the solution his company craft... | 36m 03s | ||||||
| 8/12/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 417 Saris AI and Grow Financial FCU Tell Why You Need to Know About Agentic AI | Send us Fan Mail Agentic AI is coming to credit unions and Saris AI is helping lead the charge. What is Agentic AI? Agentic AI acts as an agent that autonomously executes multi-step workflows. That is, Agentic AI does. It doesn’t tell you what to do. It does it for you. Saris AI says it can automate 70% of tedious, complex back office tasks. It delivers a 300% productivity increase. And 9.8x cost reduction. A core focus is lending, but Saris AI also helps with ot... | 45m 54s | ||||||
| 8/5/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 416 Constant AI's Catherine York Powers on Why You Need to Offer Skip a Pay | Send us Fan Mail Call this a case of two scenarios. Here’s the background: a member calls and requests to skip a payment on a loan balance. The loan term will simply extend by a month, interest continues to be collected, and there’s a fee - usually between $15 and $60 - for setting up the skipped payment. In scenario 1 the customer service rep fields the call, talks with the member, checks to see if the member’s request complies with the institution's guidelines, and also checks to se... | 36m 48s | ||||||
| 7/29/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 415 O2 Consulting Group's Bonnie Ortiz on Really Putting AI to Work in Your Credit Union | Send us Fan Mail The headline on the CUInsight story grabbed my attention: AI for credit unions: Making “people-first” work even better. The author, Bonnie Ortiz, has also been a CU 2.0 Podcast guest before so I wanted to get her back on. Ortiz is the founder of 02 Consulting Group and, earlier in her career, she was the long serving COO at The Partnership Credit Union. She’s a level headed expert on matters credit union and, in today’s AI froth, a voice that’s rooted in credit union re... | 48m 05s | ||||||
| 7/27/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Kirk Drake's New CUSO Bringing AI to Credit Unions | Send us Fan Mail What do we do next? That’s a question heard in most credit union executive suites and boardrooms and what it is focused on is AI. Artificial intelligence suddenly has become the tech that matters among credit unions but there’s just one problem: few actually have concrete ideas about how and where to use AI. Enter Kirk Drake, CEO of the digital consultancy CU 2.0, author of the 2020 book FINANCIAL which put an early spotlight on AI and credit unions. He now has jo... | 55m 14s | ||||||
| 7/22/26 | CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 414 Student Choice CUSO Introduces Employer Choice Small Dollar Loans for Employees | Send us Fan Mail The Student Choice CUSO, built around student loans, is expanding and now has introduced a program that will enable credit unions to issue small dollar, emergency loans to members with no credit check. These are not payday loans. Interest rates are capped at 18% per NCUA policies. How can this be? On the show is Scott Patterson, ceo of Student Choice, and the episode starts with a view into the current state of student loans and the big changes that are transf... | 46m 57s | ||||||
