CU Insight - by Jim Nussle 11/19/2014
The American Customer Satisfaction Index (ACSI) ranks credit unions ahead of similar financial institutions in 2014, and has for seven years in a row. Credit unions significantly outpace all other financial services in customer satisfaction, which, for me, means that credit unions are American's best financial partner. Whether you're looking at service, value, loyalty or expectations, credit unions rank substantially better than traditional banks on every component.

Housingwire - by Trey Garrison 11/18/2014
Credit unions are enduring a crisis of creeping complexity with respect to regulatory burden, and the Credit Union National Association believes at least three bipartisan bills currently before the U.S. Senate could alleviate some of that drag. "The enactment of these bills would represent a small step in the right direction toward removing barriers to credit union service," said Jim Nussle, president and CEO of CUNA. "As the Senate reassembles for the remaining weeks of the 113th Congress, we urge passage of these important bills."

In June, the nation's 6,557 credit unions surpassed 100 million memberships. And nearly two-thirds of credit unions offer mortgages. "We've seen a very strong increase in originations over the course of the last several years," Mike Schenk, vice president of economics and research at CUNA, told the Los Angeles Times.

My Bank Tracker - by Peter Bennett 11/14/2014
Ever since the mortgage bubble burst, largely precipitated by irresponsible lending by big banks, lending virtually disappeared. One bright spot was credit unions. That's because, Schenk noted, credit unions operate in a manner not unlike a small financial institution. "We're more likely to listen to your story," he said. Big banks, by contrast, rely on underwriting formulas and highly automated underwriting systems that put a premium on turn-times. "We're more likely to make an exception or adjustment based on your unique circumstance," Schenk added.
