Abstract

This study aims to analyze how digital maturity impacts the future of credit unions, specifically regarding the evolution of consumer expectations and competitive pressures. This is a case study conducted in a regional credit cooperative located in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), involving the application of a questionnaire comprising the eight dimensions of the CESAR Digital Transformation Index within the organization. These dimensions are: culture and people, consumers, competition, innovation, processes, business models, data, and technologies. The results indicate that the credit union achieved a digital maturity index of 46%, placing it at stage 2 of development, where digital transformation has begun but significant challenges remain. Notably, the Culture and People dimension showed the most progress. However, the Innovation and Competition dimensions lagged, highlighting a critical area for future focus, as innovation is crucial for growth and competitiveness in the digital age.
