NCOFCU - CHAMPION FOR THE
FIRST RESPONDER CREDIT UNION MOVEMENT

Support Our Advocacy Efforts to Protect the Credit Union Tax Exemption

NCOFCU Letter to the "Ways and Means Committee"

Dear NCOFCU Members,

As we continue our mission to support credit unions serving first responders, I want to reach out to you regarding an important issue that affects our entire movement: the preservation of the credit union tax exemption.

The credit union tax exemption is crucial for ensuring that we can provide affordable services to our members and maintain our unique cooperative structure. This exemption allows us to operate in a manner that prioritizes service over profit, enabling us to give back to our communities in meaningful ways. However, there are challenges on the horizon that threaten this vital exemption.

We urge you to lend your voice to our advocacy efforts aimed at protecting this important benefit. Here are a few ways you can help:

  • Contact Your Legislators:** Reach out to your local representatives and express your support for maintaining the credit union tax exemption. Share how your credit union has positively impacted the community and the importance of this exemption in your operations.
  • Use NCOFCU Resources:** We are providing templates and resources to assist you in your communications with lawmakers. You can access these materials on our website at [insert website link].
  • Spread the Word:** Engage your staff and volunteers in this effort. The more voices we have advocating for this cause, the stronger our message will be.
  • Stay Informed:** Keep an eye on updates from the NCOFCU regarding this issue. We will share information about pivotal moments in the legislative process that require your immediate action.

Your participation is key to our advocacy efforts, and together, we can ensure the credit union tax exemption remains intact. Thank you for your ongoing support and commitment to the values our credit unions uphold.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,
Grant Sheehan, CCUE

Mortgage Rates Tick Down

MCLEAN, Va.--Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaging 6.56%, Freddie Mac reported. “Mortgage rates are at a 10-month low,” said Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. “Purchase demand continues to rise on the back of lower rates and solid economic growth. Though many potential homebuyers still face affordability challenges, consistently lower rates may provide them with the impetus to enter the market.” The 30-year FRM averaged 6.56% as of Aug. 28, down from last week when it averaged 6.58%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.35%. The 15-year FRM averaged 5.69%, unchanged from last week. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.51%, Freddie Mac said. ____________________________________________ Check out NCOFCU's additional features: First Responder Credit Union Academy Podcasts YouTube Mini's Blog Job Board

Many CUs Likely to Face New Operating Challenges "Michael Moebs"

04/08/2024 09:04 pm By Ray Birch LAKE FOREST, Ill.—The trend lines don’t lie: Financial institutions charging high overdraft fees will likely face operating challenges in the near future and may even be forced to merge if they don’t follow the market trend of lowering their OD charge.
