IC Credit Union in Massachusetts serves as an example for how credit unions must embrace new digital tools.
North Carolina's SECU Foundation announces a $600,000 challenge grant for Crittenton.
An investment in a modern, inclusive approach to member support and engagement is an investment in the future.
The former bank will continue to operate as "Western Heritage – Powered by Nusenda Credit Union."
38% of men received promotions with pay increases in 2023, compared to only 32% of women.
The former EVP replaces Dietrich Kuhlmann, who succeeded the now-retired Mary McDuffie as CEO.
Associate Professor at DePaul University and Filene Fellow Lamont Black believes credit unions must stop sitting on the sidelines with AI.
The action aims to give credit unions and banks better tools to lend or modify loans in wildfire-damaged areas.
The trifecta of lower income, higher expenses and huge loan loss provisions drags earnings into the gutter.
Only 44% of survey respondents consider DEI a top hiring priority.
