Welcome to the CU 2.0 Podcast Greatest Hits show.
There are over 300 shows in the library and yet a reality in the podcast business is that few of us ever even look at more than maybe the half dozen most recent shows.
That’s why we are going to resurface some of the best and most popular shows as Greatest Hits,
The first Greatest Hit - originally #277 - is with Michael Bell, the attorney who has been key in credit union - bank mergers. You probably are much more familiar with credit union - credit union mergers.
But Bell believes - he explains in the show - that there are excellent reasons for a credit union to look at banks as merger partners. And know that many community banks - possibly most - are keen to get bought.
This show is what you need to know.
And the reason we are posting this show to kick off our Greatest Hits is this headline from a recent American Banker: “Midwest deal marks fifth credit union - bank combination of 2024.” The date on that story: February 7, 2024. That’s a merger a week.
Will the pace continue?
