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

BarCampBankLondon!
BarCampBankLondon was just held on July 5. You’ve probably heard quite a bit about all the recent BarCampBank events being held lately. If you’re interested in attending one, there are several more coming up in the next few weeks:

BarCampBankChicago will happen July 16
BarCampBankCharleston will happen July 26/27

Check out the BCBs above to see about registering. Get in on the discussion while you still can!

Credit Union Joins Credit Karma
News surfaced recently about a credit union partnered up with Credit Karma. The Pentagon Federal CU has joined many banks in posting its rates in the special offers section for Credit Karma users. We think it’s a great move for credit unions to get some exposure through Credit Karma. Good on ya, PenFed!

Q&A: What is your CU doing to collaborate?
Lisa asked this question a while back on Banktastic, but it failed to get any leverage. Mark’s posing the question now to The CU Scoop audience - what is your CU doing to collaborate? Is your CU considering working with another to generate better results? If you have a response for this discussion, head on over to the question on Banktastic and let us know what you think!

Thanks to our sponsors!
