Our first two sessions at Momentum were filled with engaging discussions and lots of audience questions! Julie Breuer, our Chief Client Experience Officer, had a candid conversation with Senator Colin Deacon, addressing emerging topics like consumer-driven banking: “We need credit unions to be robust financial organizations. Working together, there are ways to move forward on open banking, delivering more targeted services to the special needs of the different members and communities, effectively and cost efficiently without the national framework being in place.” During a fireside chat with Sheila Vokey, our President and CEO, Tolga Yalkin, Assistant Superintendent at Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada, provided insights on key risks in the financial landscape, including AI and mortgages. He highlighted OSFI's efforts to balance oversight with maintaining the competitiveness of Canadian financial institutions.   We’re excited for what's in store this afternoon!     #Momentum2024 #OpenBanking #OFSI #Central1
