2023 ALM Survey Highlights Accuracy and Team Knowledge

by Catalyst Corporate | Nov 28, 2023

Credit union balance sheet management needs are as unique and diverse as your membership. That’s why Catalyst Strategic Solutions surveys its Asset/Liability Management Services clients every year, to ensure ALM products and services meet expectations. 

The 2023 survey was sent to ALM clients in October. Survey respondents represent credit unions of all sizes, including C-suite leaders, senior management, ALM practitioners and financial specialists.

Catalyst uses a Net Promoter Score (NPS) to evaluate member survey responses. NPS is calculated by subtracting the total weight of the lowest six ratings from the three highest ratings categories. This approach is designed to convey the percent of respondents who are highly satisfied and would be most likely to go out of their way to recommend Catalyst’s ALM Services to their peers.

With any score over 50 considered excellent, clients gave ALM Services a strong overall NPS of 85.7 – the third annual increase since 2020. Participants evaluated analysts’ responsiveness to clients, knowledge level and responsiveness to regulatory changes.

In the survey, clients ordered the most important aspects of Catalyst’s ALM Service as:alm-2023-aspects (1)

  1. Accuracy
  2. Response to regulatory requirements 
  3. Team knowledge
  4. Quality of service
  5. Fast reporting

Overwhelmingly positive comments were recorded for members of the ALM team, recognizing their outstanding client service – with "knowledgeable" and "helpful" ranking as strong attributes.
