CUNA Lending Council Benefits of Membership

CUNA Lending Council

Risk management with a credit union focus

Regulatory requirements are changing, lending margins are slim and you’re under constant pressure to manage risk more effectively. You need a professional organization that understands lending and the unique challenges of the credit union movement.

Meet the CUNA Lending Council

Membership in the CUNA Lending Council offers networking and leadership opportunities with a member-led structure that’s savvy, practical and industry-focused.

The networking opportunities and ability to problem solve on issues CUNA Councils provides is a tremendous advantage to serving our members and keeping our credit union financially strong.
