Celent Launches Research Partnership with the Credit Union National Association
Celent, a Boston-based financial research and consulting firm, announces a partnership agreement with the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), the premier national trade association serving credit unions. The relationship extends Celent’s footprint into the credit union market, providing CUNA’s affiliated credit unions with access to Celent’s research at reduced rates.
“There’s demand for high-quality business strategy and technology information. CUNA looked at a number of providers in the financial services research space and found that Celent stood out above the rest, in terms of the combination of its industry presence, credibility and expertise; the applicability of their information; and their willingness to work with us on a pricing model that would greatly benefit our affiliated credit unions,” says Doug Benzine, CUNA’s Vice President of Business Publishing.
"Celent has found that credit unions tend to be at the leading edge of use of technology and customer centricity," says Bart Narter, Senior Vice President of Celent’s Banking Group. "Working together with CUNA will help us and CUNA better understand best practices for FIs in these areas."
