Eko’s Post

CUNA Strategic Services is pleased to announce their new alliance with Eko Investments. Eko enables credit unions to offer digital investing to their members, starting from $10, directly on their existing banking platform via their natively integrated white-label solution. "We're thrilled to welcome Eko to the CSS portfolio,” said Barb Lowman, CUDE, President, CUNA Strategic Services. “We're particularly excited about the fact that Eko solves two challenges for credit unions. The first is to help attract younger members through their impressive digital investment solution; and the second is the ability to generate non-interest income through their revenue share model. Mart has been amazing to work with and we're excited to officially launch this new relationship!" Learn more about Eko: https://hubs.li/Q02Yqv4N0

This is one of the many benefits of multifunder - we're always adding new options! 🔶 🔷 You could go out and try to build this kind of optionality yourself, going through extensive talks/negotiations & gathering a few options. Or, you could #talktoTaulia and gain access to ALL of our funders with a single RPA. You might say "Bryce if it was that simple everyone would do it". To which I'd reply, "maybe that's true, but why don't we have a conversation to see if it makes sense for you? After all, we'd give you a fresh/different perspective on how Fortune 500 companies are managing their cash optionality right now". #multifunder #arfinance #cashflow

We are pleased to announce the publication of the Impact Report 2023 - a document, which outlines the ProCredit Group approach to sustainability, showcases our efforts and assesses our impact performance during the past year. It also highlights our ongoing initiatives and outlook for the future. The year 2023 was historic for the ProCredit Group in many ways. We dealt successfully with the challenges of 2022, where we witnessed profound human tragedy and financial turmoil arising from the war against Ukraine. Today, the financial, capital and liquidity position of the ProCredit Group is stronger than ever. The good results achieved in 2023 provide a strong tailwind for the future. We strongly believe that what makes ProCredit unique and what justifies our existence in a world of thousands of banks and financial institutions is our never-ending reflection on the impact of our actions and operations on the environment. Furthermore, we are convinced that our impact orientation seamlessly complements our business approach, which is why we will continue to set standards for ESG topics in the future as well. Here, we have ambitious targets for the future, such as achieving net-zero emissions for our loan portfolio overall.

At Nordea, we’re making good progress on our 2030 goal of reducing the financed emissions across our lending and investment portfolios by 40-50% compared to 2019. What exactly are financed emissions, and how are we working to bring them down in our lending book? We talk to Angelica Lundman and Mikko Lehtonen, two of our client executives in Large Corporates & Institutions. 👉https://lnkd.in/ePnqg8BN #FinancedEmissions #SustainabilityAtNordea

How Capital One introduces financial literacy for credits through Credit Made Clearer Campaign? Capital One UK recognized a significant pain point among consumers: the lack of transparency in credit card APR repricing. Many customers find the terms and conditions around APR changes confusing and opaque, leading to mistrust and dissatisfaction. To address this issue and differentiate itself in a competitive market, Capital One launched the "Credit Made Clearer" campaign. The "Credit Made Clearer" campaign by Capital One UK, developed in collaboration with the creative agency Rise at Seven and media agency Kinetic, aimed to address the transparency issues around Annual Percentage Rate (APR) repricing. This innovative campaign utilized transparent billboards to visually represent the concept of financial clarity, strategically placed in high-traffic locations across the UK. The campaign's core message was to highlight Capital One's "Real Rates" promise, which ensures customers receive honest and clear information about their credit rates. Objectives Increase Awareness: Raise public awareness about the issue of APR repricing transparency. Build Trust: Enhance Capital One's reputation as a transparent and customer-focused financial institution. Educate Consumers: Inform consumers about their rights and the details of APR repricing. Drive Engagement: Encourage consumer interaction with the campaign and the Capital One brand. #credit #bank #investment #ceo #business #capitalone #marketing #campaign #casestudy #branding #learn #education Read complete case study at : https://lnkd.in/g_MW_m-H
