The short answer is yes. We have heard from some of our credit unions already that there is some interest in partnering, though we have some concerns. Historically, many crowns seek out partners through a tender process and it often goes to the largest and highest bidder. That would be our concern, and if there's any process around moving to a partnership model, that it be open to smaller institutions to participate and it not be done on an exclusive basis with one institution or two.
