credit union industry associations

Credit union industry associations are organizations that represent and support credit unions, which are member-owned financial institutions. These associations provide resources, advocacy, training, and networking opportunities for credit unions. They work to promote the interests of their members, influence legislation and regulation, and enhance the operational effectiveness of credit unions. By fostering collaboration and sharing best practices, these associations help credit unions better serve their members and communities, ensuring financial stability and access to affordable services. Examples include the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) and the Credit Union National Association (CUNA).
