Drawing from a data sample of 3,908 U.S. consumers, 137 credit union leaders and 55 FinTech executives, the index examines the shifting importance financial consumers place on innovation as well as the innovation types they prioritize and how well CUs’ and CU competitors’ innovation plans are meeting their expectations.
