3The Owners are Here!
- Topics for the day
- Shedding Some Light on Industry Issues
- Invest...Execute...Earn!
- Last year we announced a Jump to the Future
where are we today, and what does it mean to
2009? - New Declarations
- Can a network set goals to guarantee the
difference? - A Year of Collaboration
- It was a big year for the CUAnswers network for
leading the industry towards a new kind of
networked future - Randys Top Ten
- Whats On Your Mind?
4Shedding Some Light on Industry Issues
- Misery loves company when youre grading on a
scale...so when rainy skies have everyone
hunkering down, what should you be thinking about
for when the sun comes out again?
5Navigating a StormWhile Planning to be Stronger
on the Other Side
- You can read, watch TV, and figure out for
yourself, the national news on our economy is not
that great - But the effect from the perspective of members
and credit unions might be a little different
during this phase in our economy - Now may be the best time to invest for the
inevitable next phase
6Navigating a StormWhile Planning to be Stronger
on the Other Side
- CUAnswers will kick off the day with two
investments in your 2009 business year - The upcoming COLA increases will be capped at
0.01 per member! - Online ATM/Debit transaction prices will be
slashed by 0.005 (down 6.6) for 2009!
- You can read, watch TV, and figure out for
yourself, the national news on our economy is not
that great - But the effect from the perspective of members
and credit unions might be a little different
during this phase in our economy - Now may be the best time to invest for the
inevitable next phase
7Responding to Stormy Skies
- While there is no doubt there are CUs struggling
with this change in the economy, the national big
picture is not nearly as bleak as you might think - Have you considered that you might be the
standout performer in your marketplace if you
respond differently than your competition, right
now?
8Responding to Stormy SkiesWhen Its Raining,
Find an Umbrella Salesman
- Its an old adage that members flock to safety in
unsure times - Whats special about right now is that our
competition might actually be encouraging it
through their actions and response to a rampant
time of speculation and bursting bubbles - Its an advantage to be local and deal with
real-people experiences
9Responding to Stormy SkiesWhat are your plans
for a sunny day?
- This mortgage crisis is an opportunity for credit
unions to shine - As members hunt for solutions to their problems,
they are finding credit unions are on their side
and still interested in building a relationship - The trick will be for us to come out the other
side of this crisis as a long-term, trusted
channel for member mortgage needs
10Responding to Stormy SkiesWhat are your plans
for a sunny day?
- Time to draw a line in the sand and make a big
declaration...and back it up with actions and
investment - Later today, well talk about how we will work at
being known as one of the most aggressive
mortgage servicing networks in the industry
- This mortgage crisis is an opportunity for credit
unions to shine - As members hunt for solutions to their problems,
they are finding credit unions are on their side
and still interested in building a relationship - The trick will be for us to come out the other
side of this crisis as a long-term, trusted
channel for member mortgage needs
11Responding to Stormy SkiesWhen Its Raining,
Find an Umbrella Salesman
- The pressure has been building for a long time on
deceptive credit card practices - The voice of consumer groups is getting louder,
and people are listening - Now a credit crisis, real or imagined, adds to
the pain - If you are looking for disruptive signals and a
time to get active, what more could you ask for?
12Responding to Stormy SkiesWhen Its Raining,
Find an Umbrella Salesman
- CUBASE online credit card programs are growing
like crazy, but lets invest a bit more - In 2009, any CU processing their credit card
portfolio online with CUBASE will see an
additional price decrease of 0.005 for ATM/Debit
transactions...for a total savings in 2009 of
13.3 on ATM/Debit activity
- The pressure has been building for a long time on
deceptive credit card practices - The voice of consumer groups is getting louder,
and people are listening - Now a credit crisis, real or imagined, adds to
the pain - If you are looking for disruptive signals and a
time to get active, what more could you ask for?
13Responding to Stormy SkiesEverybodys Putting
Money Away For a Rainy Day
14Responding to Stormy SkiesEverybodys Putting
Money Away For a Rainy Day
- Its always a balancing act, understanding the
flows between emerging delinquencies and
budgeting the provision for loan loss,
actualizing charge-offs, and then taking your
chances with the next delinquency report - It appears credit unions are doing a good job
- What are you learning about collections right
now?
15Responding to Stormy SkiesEverybodys Putting
Money Away For a Rainy Day
CUAnswers invested more in Collections during
2008 than in the previous five years
combined LenderVP Collections is making a huge
difference in why With delinquency on everyones
mind, are you planning to revamp how you see
Collections in 2009?
- Its always a balancing act, understanding the
flows between emerging delinquencies and
budgeting the provision for loan loss,
actualizing charge-offs, and then taking your
chances with the next delinquency report - It appears credit unions are doing a good job
- What are you learning about collections right
now?
16Right Now, Credit Unions Stand OutRemember Its
a Sliding Scale
17Responding to Stormy SkiesBack to Reality...Its
Not All Good News
- When it gets to the end of the month, and you
have to look at your income instatement, and your
balance sheet all by itself, its not as easy to
think about an industry perspective, graded on a
scale - Its still tough to make big plans on 60 basis
points of ROA and an asset base that still seems
too small - It is the time to strike, invest, and
innovate...because to emerge from the other side
of a storm with new opportunities, you have to be
truly different than you were on the day the
skies darkened
18The Pressures Will Be the Same...
- ...unless we address these issues in anticipation
of the next phase - We need to pump new energy into traditional,
maturing ideas - We need to capture the benefits of scale
- We need to be relevant to the next generation
- So when all the pundits remind the market that in
bad times, credit unions shine, we can only smile
for a second, and then get right back to work on
ensuring that well be here, every time theres a
bad time
19Knowing Your Member is Still the Key to Future
Relevance
20Knowing Your Member is Still the Key to Future
Relevance
- More than knowing your members for who they are
right now, standing still, we need to look at
where they are going, and then make sure we are
moving as fast as they are - So lets get this party started!
21Invest...Execute...Earn!
- Like clockwork, you can count on us to spend the
money, develop the products, and put the products
in your hands, year in and year out - Are you earning on these investments?

39Jumping to the FutureEvolving Capabilities
- The confidence to redefine yourself and to reset
the foundation for the next go-around requires
leadership - And that brings us to the Robert H. Mackay award
The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but
not rude be kind, but not weak be bold, but not
bully be thoughtful, but not lazy be humble,
but not timid be proud, but not arrogant have
humor, but without folly. Words to live by,

40Jumping to the FutureATM Pause for a Cause
41Jumping to the FutureATM Pause for a Cause
42ATM Pause for a CauseBenefits Gained

- Unlimited cards and card products per account
- Cards can access accounts across member bases
- Two name lines (if supported by switch)

learning curve when changing vendors...and

card hold types - Online analysis of transaction requests (first

- Custom card stock by member (if supported by
switch) - Single point card maintenance (if supported by
switch) - Increased online availability (during nightly
cycles) and eventual ability for redundancy on
cuasterisk.com network - Data encryption for PCI DSS compliance
- Per the email you received on June 4, the
prototype for this is being released this summer
when we begin encrypting card PANs in our online
credit card database - Rules for data storage and accessibility by
trusted insiders is changing...so were getting
ahead of the game now
iSeries box owners This uses a special
third-party utility (think )

processes and staff will need to be trained - CUSouth client(s) with Fifth Third

credit unions will be in this beta! - Starting in October, we will begin to roll these

switches
The ATM Pause was a jump to the future,
considered to be a 6-month project...it has
turned into a journey to the future and will
affect things for years to come
45Jumping to the FutureATM Pause for a Cause

46Jumping to the FutureATM Pause for a Cause
A note from the EFT Team... Lately, CUs have
been making decisions about changing vendors, new
program startups (such as HSA debit cards), or
minor configuration changes with their
vendor...but leaving CUAnswers out of the
loop. We dont want to slow you down, but if we
have to scramble at the last minute to make sure
your plans stay on track, everything is at
risk. In 2008, we created a new position
specifically to coordinate with you and be your
liaison to our programming team. Our EFT Product
Specialist is Nadine Thomas (nthomas_at_cuanswers.com
, ext. 141). Much like a conversion
coordinator, Nadine is at your beck and call from
the time you think about making a change, to the
moment that change goes live. Please take
advantage of this new resource we need to be
involved in the choices you make with your
ATM/Debit vendor!
Dont let your network salesman sell you into a
poorly planned change!
47An ATM Sidebar...PBFs 7 Days for the Price of 5!
- Sending PBFs 7 days a week...for the same price
as 5 days a week - Operations will be offering a new service to send
PBFs up to 7 days a week - Beginning with the 2009 business year (Oct. 1,
2008) - Look for announcements coming soon on what is
available from your switch (5, 6, or 7 days) - Make sure you verify the cost of additional days
with your vendor before you give us the green
light - PBFs might not be your best bet for avoiding EFT
fraud dig a little deeper when it comes to
understanding daily limits, deposit holds, and
your options when your vendor is offline
The big question is, when (if ever) will PBFs go
away?

54Jumping to the FutureeDOC Innovations
- One of the biggest jumps to the future we have
ever announced was the purchase of Reed Data in
2006 - This was not only a software project...this was a
business initiative - At tonights Annual Stockholders Meeting, I will
give a report on this investment and its future - In 2007, we built the ASP solution, and were off
to the races with teller e-receipts and
electronic photo ID - In 2008, we are adding loan documents and setting
the foundation for CUSPY - In 2009, eDOC Innovations will be a force in
Check 21 processing
See you at tonights Stockholders Meeting!
55Jumping to the FutureeDOC ASP
- Over 4 million receipts have been stored in the
ASP vault - Over 40,000 member IDs are online today as part
of our ASP solution - 47 clients (40 of which are CUBASE users)
- 88 branches
- There are 10 more branches in the queue
- 101 workstations, 42 sig pads, 51 scanners
- The e-receipt and Photo ID product are a perfect
entry tactic for developing an e-document
strategy to be successful with your member - If you are not one of these credit unions, think
about it for 2009
- 1,162 workstations
- 370 signature pads
- 389 scanners
56Jumping to the FutureeDOC Loan Forms
- eDOC Innovations can handle CUBASE loan forms
through its own processes today, and does for
several of our clients - The new eDOC/CUAnswers ASP solution is about
redesigning both sides of the equation and
sending data in a new way to eDOC software - A standard software change that can be configured
for any CUBASE CU - A standard template for any e-document vendor in
the future - A new process that can extend beyond loan forms -
data exchange will become richer over time, for
more types of forms - Kent County CU is the current beta and should be
live by the end of this summer, and well be off
to the races in 4th Qtr 2008
57Jumping to the FutureeDOC CUSPY Project
- Today, eDOC Innovations processes e-statements
and daily reports for over 282 clients, 17 in the
ASP environment - But all CUAnswers credit unions that process
e-statements and daily reports through CUSPY do
so via the CoWWW (OSI) software - During the 2008 business year we have completed a
gap analysis on the current processes used for
CUSPY that integrate with CUBASE and Its Me
247 online banking - During 4th Qtr 2008, CUAnswers and eDOC will
start a project to replace the CoWWW software
and fully integrate CUBASE and Its Me 247
with eDOC solutions
58That brings us to Its Me 247...
December 5, 2007
- ..a date that will live in infamy (for many of
you)
59Personal Technology A Consumer Wave, or an
Addiction?
- How do we respond to a marketplace that seems to
be going a thousand miles an hour, when most of
our members seem to be standing still?
60Gadgets or Business? A Member Tactic Does Not
Always Equal a CU Business
- My team spends a lot of time trying to interpret
current trends and all the crazy things people do
today, to figure out whether we can credit
union-ize a consumer activity and make it a
business reality for our organizations - Its more than keeping upwith the Joneses
- How do we navigategadgets, fads,
infatuations,and passing fancies to come up
with winning solutions?
What Consumer Trends will Drive Innovation in
2009 and Beyond? Lisa Renner, CEO, CU Holding
CompanyFrom the 2008 NACUSO Annual
Conferencewww.nacuso.org
61Gadgets or Business? A Member Tactic Does Not
Always Equal a CU Business
- Does everything that todays consumer does with
personal technology, translate to something they
want to do with the credit union? - Text messaging?
- Watching YouTube videos?
- Social networking?
- Surfing the Net?
- Downloading songs?
- Camera phones Check 21?

PIB to your members - Most recent changes
- Ability to allow online PIB access for staff but
not for members, or to switch gears down the
road - Ability to flood new default profile settings
to all member PIB profiles - PIB is a very important tool in managing online
risk you need to get active - PIB is becoming a major platform for extending
new services to your membership you need to get
active
So if you thought PIB was yesterdays news, think
again In the next 12 months, you need to get
active with these ideas
79Risk Assessments for Online Activities...NOT a
one-time event!
- Expanded passwords for online banking
- We have no choice . . . Do you?

audio and online banking (no change since
January) - Some CUs still use passwords fewer than 6
characters - Important Sunset Announcement

81Where are members taking us?Deposits from Home
- Remote Capture Member check deposits via an
image that the member scans and sends from home - From eDOC, to the CO-OP Network, to the corporate
credit union network everyone is working on the
ideas around remote capture - It is easier than it is safe
- Are you ready to jump onthis bandwagon?
Look for an eDOC solution early in 2009

82Where are members taking us?Mobile/Cell Phone
Banking
- We havent found a vendor that we believe has any
of the following - A credit union willing to invest
- A financial model to entice the CUSO to invest
- A market analysis that says members are ready to
adopt - A prospective client saying this is a deal
breaker - Therefore, while I continue to have meetings,
stay in the loop, and watch for signals, mostly
its still a wait-and-see game for us
83Where are members taking us?Text Messaging
- Currently reviewing partners who would convert
online banking and email messages sent to members
from CUBASE, into text messages that could be
distributed through the cell phone channel - Member Reach messages
- Member-elected e-Alerts
- Marketing messages around member preferences
- The trick is defining who wants this kind of
message and how to afford it - Today, an internally-developed solutiondoes not
seem practical - What is your budget for text messagingto your
members?

84What are you thinking about?
When that one-in-a-thousand member walks in and
says, When will I be able to check my balance
through my car radio? what will you say? When
will Ford advertise that their Synch product will
dial into ARU? (I still think holographic
banking might be a way off)
85Navigating the PossibilitiesWhat do we use for a
technology compass?
- For it all to come together, we need a meeting of
the minds on where members are taking us, whats
hot, and whats the business opportunity
86New Declarations
- Tools, Processes, and Goals for the Future
87New Declarations Our Goals
To achieve the lowest cost of going active with
innovation
To have the lowest cost in the industry for
compliance
To be known as one of the most aggressive
mortgage servicing networks
88Lowest Cost of Going Active With InnovationA
Well-crafted Network
- Last year we introduced the concept of A.S.A.P.
(Ask, See, Act, Profit) - Zipping the process of marketing communications
- How could a well-crafted network do the same for
innovation? - Speed the time between finding an idea and
executing on it - Speed the time between recognizing a need and
delivering a solution - Eliminate the duplication of standalone work and
replace it with the benefits of shared work - Well-crafted networks are rich in content and the
tools that make all that is known, visible to all
participants - But once things are visible, how do you make them
your own? How could the relationships that we
build in CUAnswers allow us to simply import,
append, or ratify your next solution?

- At a recent Board Planning workshop, I introduced
the concept of CUTalent and a new Intranet
initiative - On the ground floor ... Later this year
CUAnswers will go into the Intranet business - At 5,000 feet ... Our new Intranet Community
servers will allow credit unions who utilize SRS
services to go live with our shared personnel - At 10,000 feet ... There is a potential for
3,000 credit union employees and 100
organizations to go live to capture talent in a
brand new way

CUTalent More than a Technical Highway
- For CUTalent to work, it will need more than a
cool highway of bits and bytes and technical
wizardry - It will take people, and blending the ideas
around leadership, coordination, succession
planning, and HR standards with a new-age respect
for all that could be accomplished by an active
collaboration of talented credit union
professionals

Offering an Intranet to Your Credit Union
- CUAnswers has a rich history with using an
Intranet to improve our organization - Whether it be SAS70 examinations, new employee
orientations, tracking team activities, or simply
organizing the tens of thousands of documents,
forms, and stuff that we need to do our
day-to-day jobs - For several years now, weve been touting the
power of what an Intranet can do for any
organization - In 2009, we will bring a new solutionto the
owners and participants ofCUAnswers

Offering an Intranet to Your Credit Union
- Our new partnership with Passageways is a unique
venture - It is based on the mutual aspirations of both
CUAnswers and Passageways to build an aggressive
network of Intranets for a new kind of sharing - It started with an investment by CUAnswers that
assures every CUBASE CU the chance to use one of
the premier portal tools on the market - This shared investment will allow CUAnswers to
extend this new ASP service to your CU through
our existing education and web services channels - Both CUAnswers and Passageways are investing
- How much do we have to charge for the software?
(0, according to the contract the software is
paid for) - How much will it take in support to get your team
up and running? (best guess, 1K-2K one-time
fee, but your do-it-yourself attitude might
surprise me)
This is truly a network investment, and it will
take until January 2009 for us to deliver the
details
96Lowest Cost of Going Active With Innovation
Offering an Intranet to Your Credit Union
- How much will it cost on a monthly basis?
- The payoff from this investment is not the direct
return of monthly revenues or big up-front
software sales...it will come from building a
network of digital organizations that thrive, and
seeing what opportunities there are in sharing

Tiered Service The Network View
- This booklet was designed from a new program that
aggregates Tiered Services scoring of all
CUAnswers online credit unions in a single
operation - We anticipate adding a command key to the Tiered
Services analysis that would allow you to view
and compare your results with the network on a
monthly basis - Benchmark your performance
- Search for what you have in common and what
makes you different - Inspire your teams
- Search for peers who might help you with your
next idea

members score?

Collaborative View
- Its easy to agree and cooperate on things that
have a single answer - 112 ... everyone agree?
- That is, until we dont all use the same formula
- BSA method 1 Combine in and out
- BSA method 2 Separate in from out
- The interpretation of rules, and then how to
execute on that interpretation, never seems to
have a single answer - Reg. D configurations, Reg. E configurations, BSA
configurations, Chart of Accounts
configurations... - For a data processor, whose golden rule is we
create tools, not rules building a compliance
company is a real challenge
From the DP perspective, you are on your own
when it comes to gray areas in compliance But
what about our CUSO, our network perspective?
Could it be different?
101Lowest Cost In the Industry for ComplianceA
Collaborative View
- So from the CUSO perspective, could we build a
cooperative, collaborative view of how to comply? - Could we have a working model to analyze,
understand, and even make judgment calls about
one way to do it? - Could we have a working model that aggressively
tries to drive down the cost of day-to-day
execution around compliance and auditing? - Could we use that aggressive model to improve the
software and tool foundation that everyone uses
in diverse ways? - The vision is Yes and in 2008, we are starting
Audit Link

Link
- Audit Link is like SRS Bookkeeping
- Do the work, every day, using CUBASE tools
intensely - Drive throughput as hard as possible and innovate

Do you have documented processes to innovate
against? Its more than just a user manual

- In 2009, we plan to leverage the participants in

- Coming soon...another round of BSA improvements
- The problem Sources of activity that fall under
BSA monitoring rules are changing - CUBASE shared branch activity
- National shared branch activity
- Unspecified activity (will ATMs ever fall in
here?) - To date, weve resisted and followed suit with
the nationals, trying to exclude shared branch
activity from the base BSA monitoring - We didnt win, and changes are needed for 2008...

Future of CUBASE BSA Tools

- Sending a warning to the teller handling a

member - The message just says Verify against BSA rules
a signal that something should be done - The SARS-type message says Member has other
transactions today - External sources will not be evaluated for
interactive messages for the foreseeable future
- Based on the CUs BSA configuration
- Evaluates only activity that occurred at the
members CU - Analyzed at end of day
- Creates the BSA summary for recommending activity
to audit through the BSA Inquiry/Report - Will add additional sources of member activity to
the file that is analyzed at end of day - Starting with Xtend SB activity
- Next FSCC pilot project
- Will create an engine for future sources of
activity
