A Survival Guide for Retail Banking

Joe Sullivan, CEO, Market Insights, Inc.

It wasn’t long ago that retail banking was a fairly straightforward enterprise: you open a branch, you collect deposits, you make loans. Simple.


But today, the rapid acceleration of technologies like generative AI, the rise of embedded finance, the increase in regulatory complexity, the escalation of digital competition and more, has placed financial institutions under tremendous pressure to adjust and evolve.

This “Survival Guide” session will share practical insights into the trends that are reshaping retail banking and provide guidance on what financial institutions can do to realign with consumer expectations. Participants will be presented with actionable strategies and gain a deeper understanding of the essential principles that will enable them to thrive in the ever- changing world of retail banking.

Join us to hear about two credit unions’ experience in deciding to join the RTP network and the lessons learned along the way. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of what it takes to adopt one or both new immediate payment rails. Don’t be surprised if your conclusion includes words such as: Easy. Streamlined. Turnkey.

Managing Reg. E Liability: Defense You Didn't Know You Had

Douglas Stephan, Partner, Stultz & Stephan, Ltd

Most liability for unauthorized electronic fund transfers is strict. That is, you must pay for the member’s loss even if the credit union did nothing wrong. While that liability might be strict, it isn’t absolute. A variety of lesser-known defenses exist to what are ordinarily considered indisputable Reg E violations—defenses that can save you time and money.

Join Doug Stephan from Stultz & Stephan, Ltd. for an interactive discussion about Reg E, the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, and how to limit and manage your credit union’s risk.



9:45 a.m.
