By CU Today Staff —
MADISON, Wis.—Filene Research Institute and Money20/20 have announced a strategic partnership aimed at giving credit union leaders greater access to the global fintech ecosystem while bringing the credit union perspective into discussions shaping the future of financial services.
The partnership will debut this fall at Money20/20 in Las Vegas with the introduction of a new Credit Union Pass and exclusive programming for credit union executives. The collaboration will continue at Filene's annual big.bright.minds. conference in December, where attendees will explore emerging trends in payments, agentic AI, stablecoins and real-time payment rails.
“This year we’re launching the Credit Union Pass, built specifically for credit union leaders who need meaningful access to Money20/20 in Las Vegas. Filene is the natural partner to help us do that right. By partnering with Filene, we’re bringing their research and their members directly into the rooms where the biggest decisions are being made. The Credit Union Meetup and our closed-door deep dive represent something entirely new for Money20/20: purpose-built programming designed exclusively for credit union executives. Together, we’re creating the focused, high-impact experiences and connections that will empower credit union leaders to shape the future of fintech,” said Scarlett Sieber, Chief Strategy and Growth Officer at Money20/20.
According to the organizations, the partnership combines Money20/20's insight into emerging technologies, partnerships and market trends with Filene's research capabilities to help credit unions translate industry developments into practical strategies for growth.
“big.bright.minds. is where we bring Filene’s most forward-looking research directly to the leaders who can act on it,” said Christie Kimbell, Executive Vice President at Filene Research Institute. “Our partnership with Money20/20 expands that conversation, giving credit union leaders direct access to the ideas, innovators, and trends shaping the broader financial services industry. That's how we help our members stay ahead of change instead of reacting to it.”
