Founded by Financial Services veteran Jim Kasch, Canidae Consulting delivers clever solutions to credit unions across the country.  If it’s a clever credit union solution, they probably had a hand, er, paw, in it.

Jim has spent the last six years speaking to credit union leaders across the country about the industry’s opportunity to thrive in the future, if only we know how to relate to and serve these unique members.
