Calling credit union "hostile" takeovers "a serious and imminent threat," the Texas Credit Union League's board has vowed to do all it can to support the targeted credit union.

More than a "wait and see" stance, the $75 million United First Federal Credit Union is now thinking of closing its lone Wal-Mart branch in light of the giant retailer's "Money Center" launch, the CU's president/CEO said today.

CUNA plans wide distribution of its analysis of the results of a Government Accountability Office report requested by then-Congressman Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), which takes the study of the favorable tax treatment of the banking industry one step further.

CUTEK, a consultancy for credit unions using the Symitar system, is now offering a solution that integrates with their Episys platforms to track and manage credit card alerts.
