Arguably the biggest credit union event of the year, America's Credit Unions' Governmental Affairs Conference held March 1-5, 2026 in Washington, D.C. brought together hundreds of credit union leaders to discuss the latest industry trends – not only in regulation and legislation, but also in technology.

After GAC concluded, we asked credit union fintech experts to weigh in on the following question: What tech concepts, innovations or trends stood out the most at GAC, and how might we see them incorporated into credit union technology strategies in the coming year?
