Millennial POV: How Can Credit Unions Connect?

Connecting with Millennials is the goal of many businesses today. But, the credit union movement is poised for success with this generation for one simple reason: shared values.

  They care about charitable causes and volunteerism. They'll activate their friends to support causes they care about. 

• Millennials care about family.
  They dominate the new parenting demographic, and most see parenting as a team sport.

• Millennials are concerned with debt.
