Getting (and keeping) your audience’s attention is easier said than done. In today’s fast-paced world, studies show that you have just three seconds to capture someone’s attention before they move on. Research also shows that consumers process visual information up to 60,000 times faster than text! So as a bank or credit union professional, how can you leverage your audience’s preference for visuals while staying true to your brand and marketing strategy? One powerful solution is with digital signage strategically placed in branches and high-traffic areas.
Watch this webinar to hear from Jon VanderMeer of Kiosk & Display. You’ll discover why visual communication is so effective, what types of signage work best, and how banks and credit unions are using this method today. You’ll leave with actionable ideas on how to implement digital signage at your institution. Get ready to enhance your brand and consumer engagement!

Too often, low-income consumers are treated as a single category—but the reality is far more nuanced. Are these consumers younger or older? Do they live in urban, suburban, or rural areas? What proportion are immigrants or non-English speakers? And how do their financial needs differ?
Simply opening a branch in a lower-income neighborhood isn’t enough. True success comes from understanding the diverse demographics within these markets and tailoring products, services, and outreach accordingly.
Watch this webinar as Steven Reider of Bancography explores the demographic traits of lower-income households in the U.S. and the strategies financial institutions can use to serve them more effectively. We discuss how to align products, marketing, and community outreach with the needs of different segments—going beyond compliance to create real impact in the communities you serve.

Artificial Intelligence is no longer the stuff of science fiction—it’s in your marketing strategy, your risk models, and maybe even your coffee order. But for many bankers, AI feels less like a shiny new tool and more like Pandora’s box waiting to implode your risk management and compliance programs. Relax. It’s not as scary as it seems.
Watch the webinar to hear from Charles LeFevre, the Principal Consultant at Stanford Hill. Charles will show you how to turn AI from “the thing we’re worried about” to “the thing we can’t live without.” You’ll learn how to manage risk, how to meet regulatory expectations, and how other banks are succeeding (and occasionally failing) with AI.
Whether you’re a bank executive wondering how to stay ahead, a bank marketer using AI to identify customer insights, or a risk officer who sees AI as one big nightmare, this is your chance to reframe AI—not as something to fear, but as a tool to drive competitive advantage and operational excellence.

Choosing the right location for a branch is a big decision for any bank or credit union. It’s about more than just convenience—branches are a way to connect with the community, support local needs, and, for banks, meet CRA requirements. But opening and maintaining a branch in low-income neighborhoods can be tough. It’s often difficult to make a branch profitable in these areas, even though the need for access to financial services is high.
In this webinar, Steven Reider from Bancography explores branch service models that make a real difference in lower-income communities, both in cities and rural areas. Discover practical approaches to building branches that serve not only as places to bank, but as spaces that spark local investment and community involvement. Whether you're with a bank or credit union, you'll leave with tools and insights to help you create branches that work financially and foster stronger, more connected communities.

Every CRA Officer will face lending gaps at one point or another. When your institution’s lending falls below market standards, you need to take action. But just because you know what a lending gap is doesn’t mean you know what to do once you’ve found one.
Watch this webinar with CRA expert Linda Ezuka to learn how to identify and address lending gaps under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). You’ll learn how to compare your bank's lending activity with that of your peers, how to analyze your bank’s CRA performance, and what to do when you inevitably find a gap.
With CRA regulatory change on the horizon, it's more important than ever to understand your bank’s lending performance, identify gaps, and take actionable steps to improve. While this webinar is aimed at those who already have a basic understanding of lending gaps and their importance, even CRA newbies can benefit from this topic.
