Dylan Wyatt named Chief Information Officer

Together Credit Union Hires Former Santander US Exec

ST. LOUIS, MO – Dylan Wyatt, former Executive Director of Corporate and Investment Banking Technology at Santander US, has joined Together Credit Union as the Chief Information Officer.  As CIO, Wyatt will oversee Together Credit Union's Data, Systems, Infrastructure, and Information Security. In addition, he will lead the credit union's Center of Excellence and Digital Strategy.

“Dylan stood out during the interview process for his people-first approach to technology,” said Bob McKay, President & CEO.  “I believe he is the missing puzzle piece to our digital transformation.”

Together Credit Union’s digital transformation has been aggressive, undergoing core and card conversions in two years.  In addition, the credit union has made numerous upgrades to its online and mobile banking platforms, introduced artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot, and launched E-Notary closings for real estate loans and E-Contracting for indirect loans.  Notably, Together Credit also became the first financial institution in the district served by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines to complete an eNote transaction using their eVault and the MERS® eDelivery system.

“Together Credit Union has incorporated impressive technologies into its operation.  I am excited to go beyond the technologies’ capabilities and focus on our employees and members' relationships with these tools,” said Wyatt.  “Creating positive experiences and developing purposeful ways to measure those experiences will be critical to our strategy going forward.”

At Santander US, Wyatt's people-first approach helped him retain and attract competitor talent during his tenure.  He also focused on regulatory requirements and relationships with IT vendors, which enabled Santander US to increase revenue and product offerings.

 “The financial services industry is highly reliant on vendors to provide specialized fintech for its members, and they need to be held accountable for their performance,” said Wyatt.  “And because fintech continues to evolve, we need to ensure that our vendors keep pace with market trends and understand their roadmaps.  Where are they going and how are they getting there?  Do these goals align with our membership’s wants and needs?”

Wyatt’s strategy has worked, resulting in adaptive and creative technology organizations that provided unique advantages in digital technology, cost savings, strong compliance and risk, and enhanced infrastructure stability.

“I was impressed by his ability to drive business improvements,” added McKay.  “More importantly, he believes in the power of community and is a natural culture fit for our organization and the credit union mission.”

Wyatt, who holds a bachelor’s in science, Business Administration, International Economics & Business from the University of Arkansas, relocated from New York to join Together Credit Union this month and is already enjoying the vibe of St. Louis.  His voice was one of many in the crowd cheering on the Cardinals on Opening Day.
