There's too much going on these days to focus on one thing. Sure there are lots of options to write about but it can also be distracting. So here's a spin around the credit union industry in 800 words or less to highlight a few big issues.
Credit unions improved their overall HealthScore, according to Glatt Consulting, LLC, to 2.466 from 2.263, the lowest point it hit in a decade.

While there were a lot of positives, membership growth and loan growth lag. Industry may be considered healthy today but without those two components, it could be in for serious woes ahead.
