Comments on: BarCampBankSeattle Rocks! http://cuinnovators.com/blog/barcampbankseattle-rocks/ At CU Innovators, we help credit unions, CUSO's, and service providers create meaningful products and services for their members and clients.

CUs can and should become more relevant to the genuine needs of their member-owners, not just "low-cal" versions of commercial megabanks. It's not easy to step out of the safe "comfort zone" of legalistic caution. Thanks to all who made BarCampBankSeattle a high-impact experience.

Enjoy your second day at BarCampBankSeattle. I look forward to see the next collection of ideas that will come up. Cheers, Frederic http://bfwatch.barcampbank.com Hi Robbie,

Concerning point 2 and 3, maybe this could be an opportunity to start a new workgroup within BarCampBank that would aim at helping create a peer-to-peer platform to share knowledge and best practises between CU’s and organize startup deposits across CU’s.

Enjoy your second day at BarCampBankSeattle. I look forward to see the next collection of ideas that will come up.

Cheers,
