Most credit unions have clean and accessible datasets on their membership. However, this data is often limited to your member's current financial relationship with your organization and some pertinent demographic data collected as part of a product application. Augmenting your data with market data can help create a more robust picture of who your members are and their needs. We offer a wealth of market data on financial preferences with your credit union and your competitors including: digital behavior, psychographics, ethnicity and other demographic data not typically collected. Since this data is available at the zip code level, it can also help inform acquisition strategies with people who are not yet your members and provide insight on how to better attract them to your brand.
