WASHINGTON - The next couple of years may be when credit unions will begin to ask their members to take a more active role in preventing card fraud, according to Visa and other executives attending Visa's Global Card Security Summit.

Representatives of CUNA and NAFCU today urged lawmakers to be cautious before enacting legislation to revamp the rules regarding credit cards because going too far could hurt credit unions and limit consumer access to credit.

Two executives have been hired to staff CU Business Capital LLC's newly-launched member business sales division.

Ralph Nader gave a nod to credit unions yesterday on a daily TV/radio news program called Democracy Now!
