    It’s easy to become part of the beta group. Siimply email innovation@filene.org with how you would like your organization name to appear (XYZ, or XYZ CU, or XYZ Credit Union , for example), including an attachment of your credit union logo. We will pass the information along to our contact at Ent Federal Credit Union, who is handling the implement details.

  • What number comes after 20?

    For numeric answers, simply type in the number
    (e.g. What is five times five? Answer: 25)

    We're annoyed by questions like this too, but we're even more annoyed by spam (except the yummy canned kind).
