What risk does your credit union face in choosing a new branch location without market analytics?
Mark Alguard, our Director of Strategic Services, had a conversation with CU Today’s Ray Birch on the role of market analytics on branch strategy and location selection.

Your competitors are continuing to grow and take share while you are spinning your wheels in the wrong location.”
