The financial landscape is undergoing a seismic shift, driven by rapid advancements in technology. While FinTech companies and big banks are quick to adapt, modern mutuals often find themselves at a crossroads. The need for continuous learning and adaptation has never been more critical for these community-focused institutions. In this ever-changing environment, platforms like Doshi offer a lifeline, providing the tools and insights needed to stay competitive. Since the pandemic, there has been a steady growth in Credit Union membership with a 2.2% growth from 2021 to 2022 in the UK. In the US just under 6 million more people joined a credit Union from 2021 to 2022 - the biggest increase in membership in the last 10 years (Statista 2023).
The Challenges Modern Mutuals Face in Regards to Technology
While the numbers look promising, we can’t deny the modern day struggles that Credit Unions and other mutuals now face. With their community-centric models, Modern Mutuals face unique challenges in adopting new technologies. These range from limited budgets and a lack of specialized IT staff to the inertia of traditional operational methods. Moreover, the pace at which technological advancements occur can be overwhelming, making it difficult for them to identify which technologies will offer the most value to their members.
Why Modern Mutuals Need to Keep Up with the Competition
The financial industry is a battleground where the most technologically advanced often come out on top. Traditional banks and FinTech companies, armed with larger budgets and specialised teams, are quick to adopt innovations that enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. For modern mutuals, falling behind is not an option. The risk is twofold: not only do they stand to lose existing members to more technologically adept competitors, but they also miss out on attracting a younger, more tech-savvy demographic.
