HOUSTON – Despite their regulatory and philosophical disagreements, banks and credit unions still need to cooperate more than attack one another, particularly in the areas of cards and payment systems, according to Stan Paur, the CEO of PULSE EFT Association, the only ATM Network in the country owned by both banks and credit unions.
