Bringing the Future of Banking Closer to Home
At Better Lobby, we’re always looking ahead. As technology evolves, so do the ways people want to connect with their credit union. Today’s members expect more than just great service—they expect it to be fast, convenient, and available wherever they are.
That’s why we’re working hard to create tools that go beyond the traditional branch. From smarter appointment scheduling to virtual meetings, Better Lobby helps credit unions meet members where they’re most comfortable—often, that’s at home.
Members Are Ready for More
More and more members are using digital tools in their everyday lives. They order groceries online, attend doctor appointments over video, and connect with friends through games and social apps. Shouldn’t their credit union be just as connected?
We’ve seen strong interest in technologies that:
-
Make it easier to meet with staff without coming into the branch
-
Provide more visual, interactive ways to explore financial options
-
Offer secure, private experiences—even online
Small Changes, Big Impact
Even small improvements—like better mobile access or virtual consultations—can go a long way in making members feel heard, supported, and in control. And when those tools feel natural and easy to use, members are more likely to engage.
The Next Big Step: VR
We believe the future of credit unions is immersive, interactive, and digital-first. That’s why we’re excited to share what’s next—something that brings all of this together in a brand new way.
Stay tuned for our biggest leap forward yet. You’re about to step into something amazing.
