Motusbank has given MCU a reliable and innovative National platform to growth its membership and enhance its brand . Baldarelli explains the initiative has seen “ great success ! So far , we ’ ve seen tremendous growth with motusbank . We ’ re three to four times where we thought we would be in terms of new members and balances .”
This success has put MCU in good stead for the future , but it won ’ t be without its challenges . “ Competition is a big thing on our radar . Especially with the likes of the Facebooks , Googles and Amazons . From an economic perspective , we ’ ve had a really good run over the past 10 years , but we think those good times won ’ t be there forever . Finally , our capital is precious . Making sure that we ’ re leveraging our capital in the right way and optimizing it to ensure we ’ re getting the most bang for our buck is important to us .”
