The purpose of the Excellence in Lending Awards is to identify, recognize and share examples of lending excellence within the credit union movement. The award recognizes credit unions for their ability to serve their members while sustaining sound financial performance. Credit unions demonstrating an ability to reach their members’ needs by innovative means are excellent candidates for this award.
The CUNA Lending Council is comprised of professionals who work at small and large credit unions with a variety of roles and responsibilities. In recognition of this diversity, the Excellence in Lending Awards will focus on “best practices” in three distinct areas of the lending discipline. Credit unions who meet award criteria are eligible for one of six Excellence in Lending Awards in the following:

A panel of Lending Council Executive Committee members and industry professionals will select the Excellence in Lending Award winners in the three categories and two asset groups above. Selection will be based on candidates’ strategy, program/process, and performance.
