Q&A: Why do bankers give regulators control?
Brad asked a great question on Banktastic recently that he wanted to bring up to our viewers. Why do bankers focus more on satisfying regulators than satisfying their customers? Many institutions develop with regulators in mind, which seems to be very backwards. This was a hot topic at BarCampBankDallas. One company had a team that developed new ideas without being bothered by concerns of regulation. This kind of thinking leads to better products & services for your customers. If you’ve got any thoughts on this discussion, please post your comments under this question on Banktastic.

Website of the Week: Jwaala
It’s been a while, but the website of the week is back! Jwaala, based out of Austin, TX, is an innovative company that provides creative solutions for banks, credit unions and all of their customers (…and members). This company actually won Best in Show at Finovate Startup this past April. One feature that Brad touched on was HomeDeposit, which allows bank customers to deposit checks from home, get the money now, and mail the checks in to their institution later! To check out more of their products, click here! This is definitely a company to look into if you’re wanting to give your customers better solutions.

Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The CU Scoop” featuring Mark McSpadden. Here are some important notes about this episode:

PGP to Offer Mac Whole Disk Encryption
Mark recently found an article talking about PGP Corporation’s announcement of whole disk encryption for Mac OS X. Previously, Mac laptops weren’t able to be completely locked down, but the problem has been solved!

Many credit unions out there are primarily using Macs, and with laptops quickly replacing desktops, this new encryption from PGP is going to be a huge help. To find out more about Whole Disk Encryption, click here.

Young & Free Coming to the US!
Common Wealth Credit Union’s Young & Free Alberta campaign is coming to the United States! If you’ve not heard about the Y&F campaign, you have a lot of awesome catching up to do.

Common Wealth is bringing the Young & Free campaign (banking for 25 and under) to one lucky credit union in each state. They will help the chosen credit unions organize and implement this groundbreaking campaign right at home. This is a huge opportunity to appeal to the youth in your area and get them to join your credit union. Wanna give it a shot?
