Touting the industry's differences, Sheilah Montgomery, president/CEO of 1st Choice Credit Union, was a guest speaker on "Minding Your Money," an Atlanta-based radio program.
WLCK program host Patricia Stallworth interviewed Montgomery, who spoke on the history of credit unions, membership eligibility, the differences with banks and how credit unions are being affected by the current economic climate. She also reminded listeners that credit unions "are still lending."
During the March 7 radio show, Montgomery discussed "the solvency that credit unions enjoy because of the governance of a volunteer board of directors, the conservative nature of investments and non-involvement of predatory lending in regards to mortgage loans."
