Member retention is a big challenge for credit unions. The key to success is making personalized and proactive experiences for members. HubSpot offers strong tools so Credit unions can use data, automation, and member engagement to boost retention. Here’s how.

Integrating Core Banking Data for Personalization

The foundation of an effective member retention strategy is access to data. By integrating your core banking system with HubSpot, you can gain insights into:

• Member accounts and financial products

• Transaction behaviors

• Engagement with credit union services

This data helps you create unique experiences for each member. This way, they get the support they need when it matters most.

Onboarding Workflows That Adapt to Members' Needs

A strong onboarding process is essential for member retention. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, credit unions can use HubSpot to create dynamic workflows based on:

• The products and services a new member has selected.

• Whether they have set up direct deposits or automatic loan payments.

• Their engagement with online banking and e-statements.

Customized onboarding content helps credit union members adjust to their new financial system. This support boosts satisfaction and encourages long-term loyalty.

Proactive Engagement with Member Behavior Triggers

Credit unions can boost retention by spotting key signs of member unhappiness. For example:

• A member stops using online banking or mobile app features.
• A significant balance drop in their checking or savings accounts
• A decline in direct deposit activity

Automated alerts in HubSpot help frontline staff and managers. They get notified to reach out and check in with members. This way, they can address concerns before they grow.

Using surveys to gather actionable feedback

HubSpot’s Service Hub has survey tools like Net Promoter Score (NPS) and customer satisfaction surveys. These tools help gather important feedback at key times, such as:

• After completing the onboarding process.
• Upon opening a new account or funding a loan.

Credit unions can spot issues in their services by looking at survey responses. Then, they can make smart improvements based on that data. If many members struggle with online banking, the credit union can boost support. It might also consider switching its digital banking provider.

Identifying and Addressing Financial Behavior Changes

Monitoring changes in a member’s financial behavior can reveal retention risks. When a member moves many of their funds to another institution, it could show they are unhappy or have changed their financial priorities. With HubSpot, credit unions can set up workflows to:

• Notify staff when a member withdraws a substantial balance.

• Trigger a personalized email checking in with the member.

• Offer relevant services or benefits to encourage continued engagement.

Final Thoughts

HubSpot gives credit unions tools to track and analyze member engagement. This helps them take steps to boost retention.

Credit unions can enhance member relationships and banking experiences. They can do this by using:

• Data integration

• Personalized workflows

• Member surveys

• Behavioral triggers

A strong retention strategy helps your credit union grow over time. It also builds trust and loyalty among members.
