There’s less than two weeks to go until MWCUA and NWCUA join to form a new six-state Association — what’s next?
The Northwest Credit Union Association is the trade association representing more than 170 not-for-profit, cooperative credit unions in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, and their 8.1 million consumer members. We help our member credit unions with compliance, professional development, and advocacy for laws and regulations that remove barriers so they can better serve their members.
NWCUA is the unifying voice for credit unions in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. We work with state and federal policymakers in Boise, Salem, Olympia, and Washington D.C. as well as coalitions and consumer groups to keep credit union powers strong. By fostering an operating environment in which credit unions can thrive, consumers across the Northwest have the best access to credit unions in the nation.
The Association provides guidance and consultation on complex state and federal laws and regulations. The Association’s full-time staff of compliance experts, as well as valuable online resources and solutions, are available to provide immediate assistance on any compliance-related issue.
