In the latest episode of Digital Banking Podcast, host Josh DeTar, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Tyfone, welcomed Derrick Aguilar, Chief Experience Officer at PenAir Credit Union. The episode centered around how credit unions can create meaningful, consistent experiences across every channel and touchpoint.

Derrick shared why every interaction—big or small—can carry lasting weight for members. He explained that while digital banking, payments, and support are necessary, they are only part of a larger story. Derrick described how people remember the moments when someone in their financial institution truly stepped up for them, and how those moments build trust and loyalty over time. He stressed that members don’t see the complexity behind digital services; they just want things to work, and to feel cared for when they need help.

Throughout their conversation, Josh and Derrick explored how culture, communication, and empathy set credit unions apart in a crowded landscape. Derrick emphasized the need for purposeful connection with members and communities, not just reliable products. He outlined why understanding real needs, building goodwill, and sharing positive stories matter just as much as delivering on the basics.
