At this session, Coopera’s Kenia Calderon will discuss ITIN lending—its evolution over the past decade, proven outcomes in ITIN lending programs, and steps to kick off and improve the program at your credit union. She will also share best practices, industry resources, and tools to help your credit union be successful. Whether your credit union has an existing program or is exploring the possibility, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to learn more. During the roundtable, we will focus on hot topics and growth strategies for credit unions as we all head towards planning for 2020.
