The CUInsight Network

“Always have an open mind. Be prepared to try something new because you never know what you might like.” - Stuart Bain

Thank you for tuning in to The CUInsight Network, with your host, Robbie Young, Vice President of Strategic Growth at CUInsight. In The CUInsight Network, we take a deeper dive with the thought leaders who support the credit union community. We discuss issues and challenges facing credit unions and identify best practices to learn and grow together.

My guest on today’s show is Stuart Bain, Senior Vice President of Alacriti, who joins me for this episode of the show to talk about how his unexpected career path took him from geology to banking, and ultimately to fintech leadership.

During our conversation, we discuss how outdated loan payment systems can frustrate members and leave burdens on staff. Stuart shares how Alacriti’s solutions—such as real-time integration and self-service options—are truly changing the way credit unions handle payments. We also touch upon the role of instant payments and request-for-pay technology, exploring how they could replace outdated processes.

As we wrap up the episode, Stuart talks about a great leader in his life, and his love for classic cars and Hattie B's Hot Chicken. He also discusses the importance of having separate work and personal cell phones. Enjoy my conversation with Stuart Bain!
