Why Should You Join CBA’s Innovation Google Group?

Community bankers, fintech experts and consultants alike are keeping their finger on the pulse when it comes to the latest technology—with the goal of understanding what’s useful and what’s all hype.
The latest Independent Banker magazine shares the outlook for bank technology today and what might be coming over the next few years and features two people who work closely with CBA on innovation initiatives.
Christian Ruppe, Senior Vice President, Chief Innovation Officer, Colony Bank, and co-chair of CBA’s Innovation Committee, and Wayne Miller, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer at ICBA, are both featured in the November issue of Independent Banker.
In the article, “Up-and-Coming Bank Technology: Separating Innovation from Hype,” they weigh in on the rapidly evolving technology landscape and how community banks can separate real value from buzz.
Christian highlights how community banks can tap into back-office automation to streamline redundant processes and free up staff resources, as well as the growing importance of digital account opening for both deposit and loan growth. Wayne underscores how artificial intelligence—already widely used in fraud detection and credit scoring—may soon be leveraged even more deeply to enhance data insights and improve customer experience.
