THE 'tude

What should credit unions do when the regulator who makes the rules, does not follow its own rules?

As we begin 2022, we see signs that small businesses will remain cautious and constrained throughout much, if not all, of this year due to the unrelenting pressures that have carried over from 2021: local health restrictions, consumer uncertainty, ongoing supply chain issues, and significant challenges in filling open positions. 

Creative thinking and quick problem-solving have allowed members to carry on their regular banking activities with few hiccups, even as COVID-19 upended our daily lives.

Like fingernails on a chalkboard, there has always been one hackneyed, banal phrase that appears in many press releases and manufactured quotes that has long had me reflexively reaching for the delete button before I read any further.

Hey, maybe it’s me and I’m the Grinch,  but it seems there are a number of credit unions this holiday season born with hearts two sizes too small.
