NCUA Hosting Webinar on Strategic Issues for Serving Low-Income Members

Learn How Low-Income Designated Credit Unions Can Assist the Underserved

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Jan. 11, 2012) – The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives (OSCUI) will host a free webinar—“Strategic Issues for Serving Low-Income Members”—on Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 2 p.m. Eastern.

Staff from OSCUI and NCUA’s Office of Consumer Protection will discuss ways low-income designated credit unions may improve and increase service to low-income members. In addition, the staff will present sample products and services designed to meet the needs of these members.

In addition, the webinar will answer questions like:
  • How do we strategically assess current services to our low-income membership?
  • What changes can we make to improve services in light of our low-income concentration?
  • How can the low-income designation enhance a credit union’s reputation and outreach?
  • Which product and service additions might better serve low-income members?
  • What regulatory issues should be monitored in using low-income designated benefits like non-member deposits and secondary capital to serve the underserved?
