Bill White, CEO of the $304 million Coastway Credit Union says the credit union faces no organized opposition among its members to the proposal that it change to a mutual bank and argued that the credit union should make the charter change to be able to do more business lending.
White made his comments in March 10 article in the Warwick Beacon, a local paper serving Warwick, Rhode Island. The credit union is headquartered in nearby Cranston, Rhode Island.
