When Credit Union Times asked Fred Johnson, president/CEO for Credit Union Executives Society, what he sees as an emerging trend in the way credit unions are run, one of his responses was "collaboration."
Small credit unions may have few resources of their own, but if they share back-office responsibilities, data processing, compliance, marketing and human resources with other small credit unions, they can begin to function as if they were larger. For example, small CUs might team up and form a partnership with the same IT vendor, or they might share the services of a part-time collections employee.
It's a concept that allows the smallest, community-based credit unions to exist, and as long as members are given access to the products and services they need, the process in which they were made available to them is irrelevant, Johnson explained.
