“When done responsibly, student loans can be one of the most important and empowering investments someone can make in themselves.” - Scott Patterson

Thank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.

My guest on today’s show is Scott Patterson, President and CEO of CU Student Choice. He joins me to discuss a wide range of topics from his eighth-grade adventures in China to pioneering the early virtual presence of credit unions via Callahan & Associates, as well as the innovation that he has cultivated via his current position at Student Choice.

During our conversation, Scott discusses the origins of CU Student Choice, we explore the increasing importance of gap financing, and we talk about potential policy changes under the current administration and how CU Student Choice is positioning itself to support CUs through whatever comes next. Scott also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at OPAL, their newly launched $8 million loan origination platform that’s changing the game for student lending.

As we wrap up the episode, Scott gives us an inside look at his love for pinball machines, San Antonio, and a certain sci-fi novel from the '90s. Enjoy my conversation with Scott Patterson!
