Webinar
Trends, tracking, and best practices to drive funded growth for banks and credit unions
Get a clearer view of which channels are driving funded accounts, loan volume, and quality customers. Learn how to separate true growth drivers from channels simply getting the credit.
- When: September 1 at 10 AM PST | 1 PM EST
- Where: Microsoft Teams, 35 minutes + 10 minute Q&A
Why this matters
Financial marketing leaders are being asked to prove which channels are driving growth, but many still lack a reliable view from first touch to funded outcome.
Research from Cornerstone Advisors, commissioned by Fintel Connect, found that 60% of financial institutions say core or CRM integration limits their ability to measure marketing ROI. Nearly one-third believe they credit the wrong source more than 25% of the time, and no institution surveyed could reliably attribute every measured outcome back to marketing source.
Together, the panel will unpack where attribution confidence breaks down, how to evaluate channels beyond clicks and applications, and what financial institutions can do to make more confident decisions about where growth dollars go.
Who this exclusive webinar is for
Senior leaders at banks, credit unions, and financial institutions, who are responsible for customer acquisition, funded growth, channel strategy, marketing measurement, or proving marketing ROI.
