The IDAA Hub Podcast: AI in Finance & Healthcare
Why Credit Unions Choose a Startup Over a Big Vendor? - Part 2 with Nupur
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Big vendors have the brand name.
The sales team.
The client list.
So why credit unions walk away from all of that — and bet on a startup instead?
Because brand names don't customize for you.
Startups do.
In Part 2 of this IDAA Hub Podcast episode, host Deepti and Nupur Daruka — credit union tech executive with 20+ years in fintech — pull back the curtain on the vendor decisions, ROI frameworks and future predictions that every financial services leader needs to hear but rarely does.
