Todd Hall, President and CEO of Truliant Federal Credit Union, joins North Carolina Business Minds to discuss how the triad's largest locally headquartered financial institution has grown assets by 65% to over $5 billion and expanded membership to more than 337,000 since 2020.

In this episode, we explore Truliant's strategic expansion into Charlotte and upstate South Carolina, the credit union's six-figure naming rights deal for the Truliant Amphitheater (formerly PNC Music Pavilion), and the $90 million sell-leaseback of its headquarters and operations center. Hall also shares his perspective on fintech disruption, stablecoin legislation, rising inflation concerns, and what makes a credit union's value proposition stand out against big national banks.

Hall reflects on more than 35 years in financial services — including surviving four bank acquisitions — and offers candid advice to emerging leaders on the importance of community engagement. He was recently named a Junior Achievement Business Hall of Fame Laureate.
