CUSO Magazine sat down with Nick Olexa, President & CEO of Storyfi, a visual media company specializing in sharing credit union stories and experiences, fresh off being honored as New CUSO of the Year at the 2026 NACUSO Reimagine Conference.

The National Credit Union Administration has proposed additional rules governing payment stablecoins. CUSO Magazine’s Esteban Camargo reports.
What if tomorrow, there were no new credit union charters ever again, asks Chip Filson. While the idea may seem crazy, Filson wonders if that isn’t the exact path our industry has been headed down for some time, and ponders how we might get on a new trail.
A finalist for NACUSO’s Next Big Idea Competition, new CUSO Starlight serves as a bridge between members and money with credit unions at the center. Emily Claus discusses what Starlight is and how it can strengthen a credit union’s brand and its relationship with members.
