With the fate of Constitution Corporate CU now sealed, NCUA made good this week on its pledge to hold a town hall meeting for CEOs of Connecticut CUs in a Q&A session conducted by the state's top regulator, Howard Pitkin.
The NCUA's top man on corporates, Scott Hunt, director of the office of Corporate Credit Unions, led Monday's hour-and-a-half meeting in Hartford, which drew 75 attendees and was described as "productive and informative." Hunt outlined the steps leading the assumption of Constitution's operations by Members United Bridge Corporate FCU.
The Warrenville, Ill., corporate remains under NCUA conservatorship but with NCUA as a watchdog has continued to service its CUs across the East and Midwest as it also promotes its menu of processing, funding, and general correspondent services under its 24 month window.
