‘Don’t Tax My Credit Union' Campaign Moves Forward

CUNA shoots back in campaign aimed at rallying members across the land to speak up for tax exemption. Earlier this year the American Bankers Association launched an ad campaign across Washington, D.C., aimed at credit unions and their tax-exempt status.
The billboards read: “Today credit unions are a $1 trillion industry that pays no income tax. That’s nearly $2 BILLION every year that could help shrink the federal deficit. Now, credit unions want even more perks. It’s time to end credit unions’ indefensible and outdated special treatment. Enough is enough.”
Now CUNA is fighting back. 
CUNA and its affiliated state credit union leagues are launching the campaign at a time when the U.S. House and Senate have made broad-based tax reform a major priority.  READ MORE > ‘Don’t Tax My Credit Union' Campaign Moves Forward:

Banking During and After COVID-19

Before COVID-19, the banking industry was experiencing an unprecedented period of growth and prosperity. Despite increasing consumer expectations and increased competition from non-traditional financial institutions, most banks and credit unions were stronger than at any period since the financial crisis of 2008. In a matter of only a few weeks, the world of banking has experienced a level of disruption that will change everything that had been the norm in financial services. There has not only been a major change in the way financial institutions conduct business but in the way, employees do their work and the way consumers manage their finances. Banks and credit unions must use this time of disruption to consider reinventing themselves from the inside out.
