Credit unions are financial services’ best-kept secret,” Mica said.Becker noted that credit unions have more money to lend because they “never made the kind of risky loans banks made.”Becker was also mentioned in articles in Politico and Washington Business Journal.Mica has recently made appearances on Fox Business Channel and CNBC about the health of the industry.–[email protected]
