Embracing Innovation: A Strategic Imperative for Credit Unions
Leveraging Partnerships for Better Outcomes
The Dual Advantage of Collateral Protection Insurance: A Closer Look at Borrower Benefits Collateral protection insurance is most commonly thought of as a protection for lenders. And that is certainly correct — a well-run CPI program is an undeniably powerful risk mitigation tool that helps lenders safeguard their auto loan portfolios from loss. It's one of the best ways credit unions, banks, and other financial institutions can reduce financial risk associated with lending.
At the start of each new year, many of us pause and reflect on our actions and accomplishments over the past 12 months. Here at State National, we’re doing the same and taking a moment to recognize and appreciate the impact that SNCares, our charitable committee, has made in the lives of those we've been fortunate enough to support throughout 2023.
A Journey to Greatness Setting and achieving goals is one of the best ways to feel fulfilled. Whether it’s in our personal, social, or work life, we all require a certain level of success to build confidence and to have a sense of well-being. There’s something especially remarkable about success in the workplace, where a group of people with common goals and values come together to help each other achieve those goals on a personal and collaborative level. And the significance of celebrating those successes is equally as important as setting them and reaching them! Working Together to Provide an Excellent Borrower Experience Our Contact Center here at State National does exactly that. Not only do our hard-working representatives strive for and achieve daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly success as measured by ambitious KPIs, they were also recently awarded with Center of Excellence Certification from BenchmarkPortal — the global leader in the call center industry. BenchmarkPortal provides benchmarking, certifications, training, consulting, and industry reports and has gained international recognition for its innovative approach to best practices. Their Center of Excellence Certification isn’t an easy accolade to achieve — it’s specifically given to call centers that implement best practices and attain world-class performance in their industry. BenchmarkPortal’s CEO, Bruce Belfiore, says that he was “struck by the high level of customer service and by the efficiency with which contacts are handled,” at our in-house Contact Center, noting that the State National team achieved certification on the very first try due to their exceptional performance on BenchmarkPortal’s comprehensive 360-degree on-site assessment. The Power of Persistence Earning this certification wouldn’t have been possible without our knowledgeable and dedicated Contact Center representatives. They recognize the importance of delivering exceptional service to borrowers and focus on building and maintaining a positive relationship with every individual, on each call. Our Contact Center’s core values include regular, ongoing training, process improvement, and utilizing our state-of-the-art technology to better serve borrowers nationwide.
