Small Credit Union Resources

The Nebraska Credit Union League believes that the success of small credit unions is imperative to the success of the entire credit union movement. Education and training, regulatory and compliance assistance, and operational guidance are just some of the ways we assist small credit unions. These resources allow small credit unions ways to strengthen operations and provide quality service to their members.

Small Credit Union Advisory Task Force

The mission of the Small CU Task Force is to serve as the source of guidance and recommendations to NCUL in regards to needs, challenges, and opportunities for those in small credit unions. The committee is appointed by NCUL and is made up of small credit union management.

Credit Unions for Kids

Credit Unions for Kids is a cooperative effort of credit unions nationwide that raised millions of dollars each year for Children’s Miracle Network (CMN) and its affiliated Children’s Hospital. With Credit Unions for Kids, 100% of the funds raised in Nebraska go to the hospitals that serve Nebraskans. Check out this amazing video about how CU4Kids makes a difference here in Nebraska.  Started in 2018, the newest sponsorship the credit unions of Nebraska tackled is for the new Hubbard Center for Children.  CU4Kids will be sponsoring areas in the Hematology/Oncology department.  That project is complete and we will be searching for a new sponsorship opportunity for the upcoming years.

The Open Your Eyes to a Credit Union initiative is designed to raise consumer consideration of credit unions as a category. The campaign’s digital-first strategy positions research proven messages to disprove consumer myths associated with the ability to join a credit union and access ones money.

We’ve made the commitment along with other state leagues and credit unions. See all contributors on CUNA’s website (log in required).
