Lending

NAFCU, CUNA economists say inflation reports give the Fed a reason to stop – but maybe after one more increase this month.

Balance growth from April to May is below normal because of sluggish gains for autos and first mortgages.

But analysis of data through February shows CUs have better rates and lower delinquencies than other lenders.

CUs are locally-focused, accessible and financially-stabilizing resources for those displaced by natural disasters.

A CU financial expert finds the Q1 trend has continued into the second quarter, compounded by lower operating income.

The Beneficial State Foundation says the Supreme Court ruling striking down affirmative action raises importance.
