Developing Credit Union Best Practices
Best Practices
You may be surprised to learn that we've developed more best practices than almost any other organization in the credit union industry. A bold claim for a small consulting firm, but true. In developing over 129 award-winning CDFI applications, each required groundbreaking new products, policies, partnerships, and programs. As a result, we've created more than a few innovations shared with hundreds of credit unions.
Our best practices drive loan growth and create a new standard for ROA that is four times the industry average.
From HERO: Community Development Certified Financial Counseling,© to Community Development Across Missouri, Florida, Alabama and Louisiana, the replication of our work has helped credit unions to improve the lives of thousands and achieve a double bottom line.
Reshaping the industry:
-
Made the industry shift bringing credit unions over $1 billion in assets into the CDFI field.
-
Established the first state-wide credit union CDFI program with networked applications and shared funding for league education.
-
Philosophy is Good Business Profitability Model© has been featured at SW CUNA Management School and driven the ROA of our clients over four times the industry average.
-
Established the first state-wide partnership between credit unions and the United Way through the ALICE program.
