About Credit Union Conversations
Welcome to Credit Union Conversations podcast with your host, Mark Ritter, a forward-thinking CEO, who excels in helping credit unions, small businesses, and real estate investors succeed. Join Mark as he explores current trends, interviews industry experts, and get fresh insights on optimizing your credit union operations and delivering the best possible services to credit union members. More about your host: Mark Ritter is the CEO of MBFS and an expert in credit unions and business lending. His primary role at MBFS is overseeing the strategy of helping credit unions assist members with business needs and consulting with credit unions on planning the delivery of services to their membership. In 2002, Mark started a large central Pennsylvania credit union’s business lending program as “one person and a desk” with no policies, products, staff, systems, or business members. That program grew to be one of the top ten in the nation. In 2012, he took on the challenge of being the CEO of MBFS-a business lending CUSO. Mark was the fifth CEO in five years for the organization, which was as big of a challenge as it sounds like. Since joining MBFS, Mark increased the number of credit unions the CUSO assists from less than 10 to more than 100 and increased the revenue by more than 20x . More importantly, MBFS has helped countless credit union members gain the financing they need for business and investment needs. Mark is a native of Berwick, PA in northeast Pennsylvania, where he was a member of his high school’s nationally ranked and state championship football team. After high school, Mark hung up his cleats to work for the Penn State Nittany Lions full-time as a student assistant while attending Penn State as an undergrad. During this time Penn State transitioned to the Big Ten and culminated in Penn State’s first Big Ten Championship and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Mark remains an avid Penn State supporter. Today Mark lives in the mountains of rural Sullivan County, PA in northcentral Pennsylvania with his wife and two dogs.

Published 27 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] So I just started picking up the phone and calling business owners thinking that I would be a hero when I would point out situations where I saw fees that I found to be particularly excessive, sometimes egregious, but their responses were not what I expected. They were mainly, I'm all taken care of. […]
