Percy Riley Jr. Conference Scholarship Fund
     It is an honor to name the coalitions conference scholarship fund, supported by contributions from member credit unions, vendors and friends of NCOFCU, in honor of Percy Riley Jr. who served as Chairman of the Board Richmond Fire Department Credit Union. Percy Riley, Jr. attended his first meeting in 2002, and every year thereafter through October, 2007 in Albuquerque.  He brought his daughter and son-in-law with him along with Wallace Garland and Glenn Grooms that year.  He was obviously ill, but he came and attended the sessions.  He died November 30, 2007.  Had he been able to attend future conferences, we are certain he would have.  Right from the start, he served on the Advisory Committee and assisted in establishing the idea of a coalition and developing the conference.  He was a very kind, caring, and volunteered his time so readily, so that is why we want to honor Percy by naming NCOFCU's conference scholarship fund the "Percy Riley Conference Scholarship Fund".

Sunday Reading - The Fab Four (Beatles)

  The Fab Four   The Beatles were a 20th-century British band credited with innovating the sound of popular music and, in the process, helping to legitimize rock 'n' roll as an art form. > How the Beatles became the most influential band on Earth. ( More , w/podcast) > Explore Abbey Road Studios, the site of the first ever stereo recordings and home to most of the Beatles' songs. ( More ) The intense fandom for the band, called Beatlemania, began in the United Kingdom in 1963 but did not initially translate into success in the United States.

The Federal Reserve decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3-1/2 to 3-3/4

  Federal Reserve issues FOMC statement For release at 2:00 p.m. EDT Share The Federal Open Market Committee approved the following statement for release by a 9 – 3 vote: The Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent, in support of the Federal Reserve's dual mandate. The Committee is continuing its policy of maintaining ample reserves in the banking system. Economic activity is expanding at a solid pace despite elevated uncertainty that owes, in part, to the conflict in the Middle East. Productivity growth and capital investment are strong. Job gains have kept pace with the workforce, and the unemployment rate has changed little. Inflation remains elevated relative to the Committee's 2 percent goal, in part reflecting supply shocks that have driven price increases in certain sectors, including energy. The Committee will deliver price stability.   Voting against the monetary policy action were Beth M. Hammack, Neel Kashk...

Half of Credit Union & Bank CEOs are Now Older Than 65, Up From 20% Two Decades

NEW YORK — At a time when there are some generational changes in credit union leadership taking place, a new analysis has found the nation’s bank CEOs are getting older, with half of the chief executives leading banks now older than 65, compared with fewer than 20% two decades ago. The KBW Bank Index from Truist Securities found that the median age of bank CEOs has increased by 10 years since the early 2000s, mirroring a broader aging trend among corporate leaders across the United States. However, bank executives remain older on average than their counterparts in many other industries, according to the analysis by Truist Securities Managing Director John McDonald and associates Peter Nicolo and John Manahan. One reason is tenure. Bank CEOs typically remain in their positions longer than executives in many other sectors. According to data from CristKolder Associates cited in the report, financial-services CEOs average nine years in the role, compared with 5.4 years in the energy secto...

Report Probes Just How Sophisticated and Pervasive Fraud Has Become

BOSTON–Fraud threats facing credit unions are becoming more sophisticated and pervasive as digital banking expands and artificial intelligence tools enable increasingly complex attacks, according to new research and analysis from PYMNTS Intelligence .  The report said fraud has evolved from isolated incidents into a “persistent, systemwide threat” that affects every stage of the member journey, from onboarding and authentication to transactions and account servicing.  According to the report, fraudsters are increasingly using coordinated, multichannel schemes that challenge traditional fraud detection and response systems. PYMNTS Intelligence said attackers are no longer exploiting single vulnerabilities but are instead orchestrating broader campaigns involving impersonation, credential theft and unauthorized transfers.  The Findings Among the report’s findings, according to PYMNTS: One in 10 consumers encountered card fraud during the past year. Most fraud incidents occu...

Without President’s Signature, ROAD to Housing Act Becomes Law; Includes CU Board Modernization Act

WASHINGTON — The bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act became law Friday without President Donald Trump’s signature after the president allowed the measure to take effect while Congress remained in session, choosing not to sign it in protest over the Senate’s failure to advance separate voter identification legislation.  The legislation includes the Credit Union Board Modernization Act, which reduces the frequency with which credit unions must meet and which had strong support from the credit union trade groups.  Trump announced on social media that he would not sign the housing package because the Senate had not passed the SAVE America Act, a measure he has championed requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. Under the Constitution, a bill becomes law if the president neither signs nor vetoes it within 10 days, excluding Sundays, while Congress is in session.  Scott Simpson ‘Steadfast in Commitment’ “America’s Credit Unions, our league partners, and cr...

Why Decision Intelligence Will be What Really Defines the Future of Credit Union Growth

By Alisha Crafton For years, credit union marketing has been built around a familiar formula: understand your members, segment your audiences, develop targeted campaigns, and deliver the right message through the right channel to the right audience.  Although that approach still matters, it is relationships that serve as the foundation of the credit union model. The challenge for every credit union is that member expectations, competitive pressures, and technological capabilities are changing rapidly. Members increasingly expect financial institutions to understand their needs, anticipate life events, and provide relevant guidance at the right moment. Meeting those expectations requires more than better campaigns. It requires better decision-making. The future of credit union growth will not be defined by who can create more content, launch more campaigns, or automate more emails. It will be defined by which institutions can interpret information more effectively, identify opportun...
