Empyrean Balance Sheet Assumptions Benchmarking Survey for Credit Unions
Tuesday, November 17th, 2026
Description
Setting rate, prepayment, and deposit assumptions without a real peer comparison often means relying on informal conversations, vendor decks, and last year’s numbers. Your team deserves better data.
Join us for a live 30-minute webinar with Brian Gilbert, Chief Banking Officer, and Laurent Birade, Principal, Strategic Balance Sheet Management, as we introduce the Empyrean Balance Sheet Assumptions Benchmarking Survey for Credit Unions, a no-cost, peer-specific benchmark on rate, prepayment, and balance sheet assumptions.
You will also see sample outputs from the survey report and how participating can help your team:
- See how your assumptions compare to peers of similar size
- Replace anecdotes with real peer data
- Bring clear context to ALCO, board, and examiner conversations
- Understand how your results fit within the broader study
During the session, we’ll cover:
-
- Why peer benchmarking matters for balance sheet assumptions
- How the survey works, including its three modular tracks
- A walkthrough of sample report outputs
- What it takes to participate: a few hours of total effort and no cost
