Portfolio Strategies in an Uncertain Rate Environment
Fred Eisel, chief investment officer, Vizo FinancialMay 23, 2019
As 2018 was coming to an end, market expectations were calling for the Federal Reserve to continue increasing overnight rates two to three more times to fend off rising inflation. This scenario was abruptly halted after their last rate increase in December, as inflation remains allusive. Now, as we approach the second half of 2019, the Fed doesn’t appear to be in any hurry to increase overnight rates and the yield curve remains flat.
So what's next? Are rates heading higher, remaining flat and unchanged, or is there a recession coming our way in the next few years that may have rates heading lower and the Fed implementing their first rate cut? We will discuss probable rate scenarios for 2019 and various strategies to help your credit union manage this uncertain rate environment.

Melanie L. Vanderau, Esq., Mette, Evans & WoodsideSeptember 10, 2020

The best way to do this is know how to document the transaction in a way that covers all the bases for the lender. Learn the best ways to mitigate lending risk from the perspective of an attorney with lending experience in both a commercial and consumer context on the front-end (documentation) and back end (collection).

John Cuneo, information security director, Vizo FinancialAugust 11, 2020
When hackers look at credit unions, they see one thing – lots and lots of useful data, ready for the taking. Financial institutions have a giant bullseye on their backs and it’s easy to see why. Account information, credit card numbers and personal identifiers are part of your everyday business. Hackers want that information, so your institution needs to be ready to protect it. The first step? Performing an information security risk assessment (ISRA).
But wait…what does an ISRA entail and how can your credit union prepare? Join John Cuneo as he goes over the basics of ISRAs and how you can use the assessment to defend your data against hackers.
This webinar is designed for all staff who are responsible for information security and/or risk management within your credit union, or anyone wishing to learn more about information security risks.

How to Leverage SOC and SSAE 18 Reports Throughout Every Department of Your Financial Institution
Michael Carpenter, CAMS, NCRM, NCCO, NcontractsFebruary 13, 2019
Vendor management is typically overseen by one or two people at the financial institution, but actually every employee who outsources services is responsible. Do your colleagues know how to read, review and use SOC and SSAE 18 reports? Can you teach them how to follow these and other important vendor management practices?
In addition to assessing your critical vendors’ IT security controls, you have to look down the line at your vendors as well as your vendors’ critical vendors. Luckily SOC and SSAE 18 reports eliminate that problem for financial institutions that know how to interpret these critical vendor due diligence documents and integrate it into their vendor and enterprise risk management programs.
This webinar is designed for staff that are responsible for your credit union’s vendor management program or anyone wishing to learn more about understanding SOC and SSAE 18 reports.

What to Consider When Changing Core Providers
Scott Collins, EVP – national sales and marketplace relationships, CU*AnswersDecember 10, 2020
Selecting a core provider is no small task. It requires you to ask lots of questions, do your research, document your current core’s perceived shortcomings and anticipate credit union’s and members’ needs both now and in the future. You must consider the following: what solutions are necessary for the credit union’s daily processing, what tools are available to help your self-service members, whether the processor has the resources to support your credit union’s needs/size and whether the solution is cost-effective for your credit union, among other things. And while there’s no doubt that it is a rigorous process, this webinar is meant to take some of the stress out of it.
