Behind the Vault Episode 16

Working financial coaching into your organization's DNA

While every financial institution has education in its service model, differentiating on financial wellness requires a deliberate and sustained effort. In this episode, we hear from Bree Shellito of Colorado’s Ent Credit Union. Bree shares Ent’s history and playbook for scaling financial coaching from a small core team to all of their 500,000 members and community touchpoints.

  • Ent’s model for coaching as both a member service and community support
  • Which 3rd party certifications were most useful to Ent, and how they create their training material
  • The difference in coaching Ent’s own employees vs. their members
  • How Ent’s team is organized, ensuring alignment of incentives and managing the currency or skills across 50 branches and community outreach teams
  • How Ent customizes their coaching experience and material and then measures success
