Step Up Your Game: Leveraging Technology and Online Tools

by Kelly Nguyen 2 min read October 22, 2019

As credit unions look to grow their loan portfolios and acquire new members, improving the member experience is critical to the process and remains a primary focus. In order to compete in the lending universe, financial tools that empower and enable a positive experience are critical to meeting these requirements. That being said, an Experian study reveals that 90% of executives agree that embracing a digital transformation is critical to providing excellent experiences.

In this connected, data-driven world, digital transformations are opening the door for better and greater opportunities. With data and analytics, credit unions will be able to gain data-driven insights, to identify key channels of member engagement, create complete member views and further maximize growth and lending strategies.

Data-driven organizations that can anticipate their members’ needs and preferences will be able to deepen relationships and maintain relevance – gaining an edge in a highly-competitive environment.

The digital revolution is happening now – and it’s time for future-focused credit unions to adapt to changing expectations. However, according to an Experian report, 39% of organizations lack the customer insight and data required to provide these member experiences.

That’s where Experian comes in.

Join Mike Thibodeaux, Experian’s Senior Director, Fraud and Identity Sales Engineers, for a breakout session at CUNA Lending 2019 on Monday, Nov. 4 at 1:45 p.m. or 3:15 p.m. He will take a closer look at best practices and digital tools that credit unions can use to maximize credit union membership growth, while managing and mitigating fraud.

The discussion will revolve around multiple topics, critical to the member experience conversation, including:

  • Increasing profitable loan growth
  • Lending deeper to the underserved
  • Levering digital services and tools for your credit union
  • Minimizing fraud activity (specifically synthetic identity fraud) and credit losses
  • Enhancing and maintaining positive member experiences

Experian is excited to once again take part in the 2019 CUNA Lending Council Conference, an event that brings together the credit union movement’s best and brightest in lending. If you’re attending, make sure to engage and connect with our thought leaders at our booth and learn how we’re dedicated to helping credit unions of all sizes advance their decisioning and services.

Our team is committed to being a trusted partner – providing solutions that enable you to further grow, protect and serve within your field of membership.

Used EV Growth Signals a New Phase of Consumer Purchasing Behavior

The electric vehicle (EV) revolution isn’t slowing down, it’s changing lanes. While recent conversations have seemingly focused on softening demand for new EVs, the used segment has been gaining momentum. According to Experian Automotive’s 2025 EV Year in Review Report, new retail individual EV registrations fell 35.9% year-over-year. Meanwhile, the used retail individual EV registrations grew 25.4% from a year ago. As affordability and growing model availability reshapes consumer behavior, buyers are increasingly turning to pre-owned EVs, which has shown an interesting market divergence that is redefining how consumers are adopting this segment and what it can mean for automakers, dealers, and the overall industry. Key players behind rising used EV demand Notably, Tesla accounted for over half (60.5%) of used retail individual EV registrations in 2025, followed by Chevrolet at 6.4% and Nissan (5.5%). Diving a bit deeper, Tesla made up the top three models of the used individual registrations last year, with the Model 3 coming in at 27.2%, Model Y at 21.7%, and Model S (6.6%). The Chevrolet Bolt EV followed at 4.8% and the Nissan Leaf was at 4%. Tesla’s position as the leading make in the used EV market is a natural extension of its long-standing dominance in new EV sales. The brand’s leadership over the years created a large fleet of vehicles that are now entering the pre-owned market. What the used EV boom means for automotive professionals The growing demand for used EVs can present more opportunities for automotive professionals. Dealers that provide a healthy supply of pre-owned EVs can increase accessibility and play a role in adoption for consumers who are actively looking to purchase, while marketers can emphasize value and ownership benefits. As the market continues to evolve, automotive professionals who understand and respond to these changing dynamics will be best positioned to capitalize on the expanding pool of used EV shoppers.
