## Resource

A six-minute loan process comes down to a handful of decisions any institution can make. Jim Marous talks with Adam Cadmus of The Atlantic Federal Credit Union and Benjamin Conant of Alkami about how a $240 million credit union rebuilt consumer lending from the ground up, cutting account opening from two days to six minutes with most loans closing document-free. They walk through the moves that made it work: bringing membership enrollment and lending into one flow, involving risk and compliance from day one, replacing document collection with trusted data sources, and rethinking legacy workflows instead of layering new technology on top of them. Hosted by Jim Marous, Co-Publisher of The Financial Brand and Owner and Publisher of the Digital Banking Report.
