Credit unions are here for their communities. Their members are their neighbours and local businesses. Rooted deep in their communities, they are there to lend a helping hand in both good times and bad. Credit unions prioritize their members and communities over shareholders. This member-first approach ensures that credit remain a vital and supportive part of their communities and region. #SupportLocal #AtlanticCreditUnions #LocalMatters

Today is the 90th birthday of the Federal Credit Union Act. First signed into law by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on June 26, 1934, the Act’s purpose was to make credit available and promote thrift through a national system of nonprofit, cooperative credit unions. The Act established the federal credit union system and created the predecessor to today’s National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), to charter and oversee federal credit unions. The nation’s credit unions continue to deliver on the mission. With more than $2.33 trillion in total assets held across 4,670 credit unions and 141 million member-owners, the network of credit unions is an important ecosystem to deliver credit and financial literacy to large swaths of the country that would otherwise struggle to find financial coverage. Olden Lane is proud of the work we do to support the mission of our credit union clients. We wish the industry a happy birthday 🎉 and look forward to the next 90 years!  #creditunion #creditunions #oldenlane #creditunionsrock #financeandeconomy

As the 2024 Florida Legislative Session adjourns, my VyStar Credit Union advocacy team and I are grateful for another year of work with Jordan Elsbury, Adrian Lukis, and Ballard Partners. We also want to thank Christopher T. Hodge, MBA and the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates for being a great association partner at the Florida Capitol. This year marks a historic milestone for Florida’s credit unions, with the Florida Legislature passing a law to make the Sunshine State one of (soon-to-be) 37 states in which CUs can accept various forms of public sector deposits. What this means for Florida’s credit unions is very simple: we’ll be able to do even more to expand financial inclusion in the places that need it most: low income neighborhoods, rural parts of the state, and others. What it means in the financial services marketplace is also clear: more competition among financial institutions who seek to hold public funds will result in savings to government entities and, ultimately, a better return on taxpayer dollars. It’s a win-win all around, good public policy, and a perfect example of how effective advocacy can simultaneously strengthen the credit union movement as well as the communities in which we all live.
