About the blog

It's a simple math problem. The average age of a credit union member is 10 years older than the average age of a North American. If credit unions do not reverse the trend and attract the next generation of credit union members, the future doesn't look so bright.

The Why Gen Y Blog has a simple mission: to equip credit union executives and marketers with relevant information that will help them succeed in attracting and retaining new Generation Y members.

Two years later: The Difference Between Banks and Credit Unions

By AuthorTim McAlpine on DateJan 22, 2010 CommentPost a Comment

January 22, 2008 was a defining moment for Young & Free. Larissa Walkiw, the 2008 Young & Free Alberta Spokesperson, uploaded the Difference Between Banks and Credit Unions: Part 1 after just 23 days on the job. 

If you search for "credit union" on YouTube, 9,350 videos come up and this one still sits at the top with 81,506 views. Two years later and it still feels as fresh as it did then.
