The Risky Rebrand that Paid Off Across Indiana | Jason Osterhage, Everwise

On today's show I sat down with Jason Osterhage, President and CEO of Everwise Credit Union.

Jason shares his journey from Atlanta to Indiana, the rich history and recent rebranding of Everwise – formerly Teachers Credit Union – and the impact of local financial institutions on the community.

He provides insights into the significance of credit unions, the strategic process behind rebranding a 94-year-old institution, and the value of maintaining personal relationships in banking.

Our conversation also touches on Everwise's community involvement, their day of giving, and Jason's personal experiences exploring Indiana.
