A future-focused network accelerating credit union success
Our exclusive credit union community functions as a research-for-development incubator for our owners. We exist to connect today’s industry leaders, foster a space of collaborative innovation, and leverage our combined strength to develop or identify strategic products and services.
Accelerating Credit Union Success
MDC is the credit union network’s multi-million-dollar R&D department. We scan the horizon, research the issues, and create actionable solutions to solve problems for today – and tomorrow. By pooling the resources of ~80 credit union and CUSO owners MDC is able to deliver meaningful solutions efficiently and affordably. We learn the lessons of what does and doesn’t work — without exhausting your credit union’s budget for exploration and development.
Our Impact Areas
We strive to uncover or create developments that move credit unions forward. We do this by vetting potential partners or designing new solutions if a gap is identified. Read more to see our history of innovation.
MDC generates forward-thinking research on a range of relevant topics. Our owners leverage this research to enable proactive, progressive and forward-thinking responses to an ever-changing world.
Orchestrating industry-leading events is essential to who we are. Whether it be our semi-annual Owner Meetings, specially curated workshops, or simply connecting credit unions with similar goals, our team is dedicated to ensuring collaboration at every step.
Why Credit Unions Work With MDC
Working with MDC brings you unique and innovative ideas that can happen when we all get together and collaborate. So, the investment has a 10 x payoff in, in our situation.
I cannot communicate the value enough around what MDC does – what it offers. The networking alone is worth it…These are conversations you cannot get in local chapter meetings or league, conversations you can’t get from round tables or lunches you have with your peers locally.
Credit unions are putting in a small amount of money overall [to be part of MDC] to create a very big pool of money that we can do a whole bunch of things with when we work on these things together.
