“The people helping people mantra is real, and you are making a difference.” - Matt Good

Thank you for tuning in to episode 44 of The CUInsight Network, with your host, Lauren Culp, Publisher & CEO of CUInsight.com. 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 Matt Good, Senior Vice President and Director of Regional Partnerships at Elan Credit Card. Elan partners with credit unions to offer a program that provides industry-leading credit card solutions to their members. Credit card usage continues to increase, especially with the world becoming more digital. Elan works to remove all credit risk, compliance risk, and more, allowing credit unions to offer successful solutions while earning risk-free income. 

During our conversation, Matt explains how credit unions and small businesses can team up to serve their community. He speaks to the challenges of the ever changing digital world and how these changes affect operations, causing small businesses to look towards financial institutions for all-in-one service. Matt shares an affordable and multifaceted solution that credit unions can offer to streamline these services and increase revenue. Matt discusses best practices for choosing a merchant services partner along with key considerations to develop a successful partnership.

Tune in to hear how Elan positively impacts communities and includes their credit union partners in doing so. Matt explains the importance of charitable giving and community outreach to members and the potential negative impact if credit unions do not get involved. Looking forward, Matt discusses upcoming trends and ways that Elan plans to continue supporting credit unions in the future.

As we wrap up the episode, Matt shares his admiration for Sparky Anderson, which podcasts he listens to while running, and what he enjoys in his downtime. Enjoy my conversation with Matt Good!
