Glen chats with Lee Wetherington about Jack Henry’s newly minted
survey of nearly 200 credit union and bank CEOs, exploring how
strategic priorities and top concerns differ by group and how
they’ve shifted over time. Also, a treasure trove of new industry
data- on consumer payment choice, household economics,
crypto/stablecoin usage, and a breezy 269-page NCUA stroke of
GENIUS for your holiday reading pleasure.
