Your Vendor Still Writes Code by Hand
A 25-person startup ships 8 production deploys a day with 99% AI-written code. If your core vendor's engineering team still operates the way it did in 2024, you're paying for a process that's already obsolete. Five questions to ask at your next vendor meeting.

If I could give every credit union technology leader one diagnostic question for their next vendor meeting, it would be this: How many times did you deploy to production last week?
Not last quarter. Not last sprint. Last week.
Editorial standard
Coverage follows the institution.
The Wire connects news, filings, enforcement actions, mergers, CUSOs, vendors, and market data back to the credit union record.
That keeps the story useful after the headline moves on: what changed, which institution it touches, and where the reader can keep working.
