TruStage Economic Projections for 2026 - Steve Rick

MADISON, Wis.– Noting it’s “that time a year to make economic projections for 2026,”   TruStage’s   economists are offering their preview for what they believe lies ahead. “We expect real GDP to expand 1.5% in 2026, below the 1.8% pace for 2025, and lower than the 2% long run trend growth rate,” wrote the company’s chief economist, Steve Rick, in TruStage’s newest Trends Report. “Growth will be slightly weaker than normal due to tariff policy uncertainty, restrictive monetary policy and slower labor force growth.” The report states that inflation is expected to be 3% in 2026, only falling slightly from the 3.1% pace this year. “We expect inflation to run above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target as firms pass through any additional tariff costs and the slow growth in labor force will keep upward pressure on wage growth,” the report observes. “This stubbornly high inflation will ensure monetary policy stays restrictive for most of 2026.” The Trends Report notes that the unemploymen...

What Credit Unions Must Prioritize In 2026’s Payments Landscape

  By Ray Birch ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.— Artificial intelligence isn’t just reshaping the way consumers search, shop, and save—it’s about to transform how they pay. And according to Velera Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Tom Pierce, credit unions that don’t start preparing now risk being left behind as members grow increasingly comfortable letting AI handle financial decisions. They also need to be paying attention to an immediate opportunity to grow their credit card portfolios, he said. iStock-Harsa Maduranga Velera’s newly released Eye on Payments 2025 study—one of the industry’s most comprehensive looks at consumer payment behavior—shows the rise of AI is accelerating at a pace few anticipated. One in three consumers now use AI a few times per week, and more than half already apply it to financial planning or budgeting. Even more striking, 42% said they would feel comfortable using AI to make transactions, and that figure jumps to nearly 80% among Gen Z and younger ...

Two Members of FOMC Indicate December Rate Cut Not a Sure Thing

  WASHINGTON–Two members of the Fed’s Open Market Committee have indicated they are in no hurry to further cut rates, despite market expectations. “I’m not decided going into the December meeting” and “my threshold for cutting is a little bit higher than it was at the last two meetings,” Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee said in a Yahoo Finance interview. “I am nervous about the inflation side of the ledger, where you’ve seen inflation above the target for four and a half years, and it’s trending the wrong way.” Goolsbee was interviewed after last week’s Federal Open Market Committee meeting that saw policymakers cut their interest rate target by a quarter percentage point, to between 3.75% and 4%, as officials sought to offset rising risks to the job market while still keeping interest rates in a position where they’ll help lower inflation pressures, noted Yahoo Finance. As the report also noted, Fed Chair Jerome Powell cautioned last week that “a further r...

Interest-bearing stablecoins could siphon deposits from community banks and credit unions

  WASHINGTON — Warning that interest-bearing stablecoins could siphon deposits from community banks and other traditional financial institutions, the American Bankers Association joined 52 state bankers associations from across the country in submitting a   letter   to the U.S. Department of the Treasury urging strong implementation of the GENIUS Act’s prohibition on interest for payment stablecoins. The letter, which responds to Treasury’s advance notice of proposed rulemaking regarding implementation of the GENIUS Act, emphasizes the need to preserve the law’s core intent: ensuring stablecoins serve as payment tools, not investment vehicles. iStock-Gri-spb “The GENIUS Act’s prohibition on a payment stablecoin issuer paying interest or yield on payment stablecoins reflects Congress’s intent for payment stablecoins to be used for transactions and not as investment vehicles,” the associations wrote. “Treasury must reinforce this intent.” The associations warn that wit...

NCUA Reports Continued Credit Union Loan Growth in First Quarter of 2016

"ALEXANDRIA, Va. (June 3, 2016) – Credit unions continued to increase their lending, with loans outstanding increasing 10.7 percent in the year ending in the first quarter of 2016, the National Credit Union Administration reported today.  “The credit union system again experienced solid performance during the first quarter of 2016,” NCUA Board Chairman Rick Metsger said. “Overall, new and used auto lending was especially strong, and the system gained one million members. With an influx of deposits, federally insured shares at credit unions also neared the $1 trillion mark coming in at $991.7 billion.  “As credit union lending has increased, long-term investments have declined and reduced the system’s interest rate risk. However, delinquency and charge-off rates are slightly higher than a year ago, and member-business loan delinquencies are rising even more. Credit unions making such loans should take note and ensure that they perform proper due diligence to mitigate the r...

NCUA Letter to Credit Unions: Interagency Statement on LIBOR Transition

Dear Boards of Directors and Chief Executive Officers: As a follow-up to Letter to Credit Unions 21-CU-03, LIBOR Transition , this letter provides additional reminders related to LIBOR’s discontinuance. Five federal financial institution regulatory agencies, in conjunction with the state bank and state credit union regulators, are jointly issuing the enclosed statement to emphasize the expectation that supervised institutions with LIBOR exposure will continue to progress toward an orderly transition away from LIBOR. [1] The NCUA encourages all federally insured credit unions to transition away from using U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as possible, but no later than December 31, 2021, and to ensure existing contracts have robust fallback language that includes a clearly defined alternative reference rate. Please contact your NCUA Regional Office or state supervisory authority if you have any questions about this important topic. Read the Letter to Credit Unions   Sav...

Not Your Mother’s Credit Union

“Stablecoins aren’t a speculative play. They’re the next evolution of payments — and a chance for credit unions to lead, not lag. It starts with connecting members to DLT rails - the digital wallet. Without that, nothing else can happen. It’s just a new payment rail - embrace it or lose the relationship. It’s that simple.” While ‘ stablecoins ’ were the prevailing buzzword across Money20/20 this year, the credit union industry had a significant presence. Small financial institutions have staked a place in the future of payments. Credit unions  received a significant boost this summer with the enactment of the stablecoin bill into law. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act authorizes subsidiaries of federally insured credit unions, such as credit union service organizations, to become issuers. Not Your Mother’s Credit Union A Money20/20  fireside chat  with the regulator for credit unions that I moderated focused on the rulemaking task a...

CEO Compensation-Approach and Impact by DeeDee Myers

Numerous CEO shifts this year directly impact potentially outdated compensation philosophies related to creating a rewards package to retain and reward a newly hired or promoted CEO. Unfortunately, CEOs are often unsure of their performance metrics, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and retirement package a year or more after they assume a CEO role. The impact is a lack of clarity on success factors between the Board and CEO, which inevitably transfers and translates to a less-than-adequate clarity of priorities and actions within the executive and management ranks.
