Credit Union Service Organizations

Credit Union Service Organizations (CUSOs) are companies owned by credit unions that provide specialized financial services or products, such as lending, processing, or technology solutions. They enable credit unions to efficiently expand their offerings, improve operational efficiency, and serve members better without directly handling all functions in-house. CUSOs operate under regulatory guidelines and are designed to support credit unions' mission of serving members’ financial needs through shared expertise and resources.
