Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Cornerstone Advisors on Monday released The Cornerstone Report: Benchmarks and Best Practices for Credit Unions, which draws upon detailed data from 62 credit unions with assets more than $250 million.

The plus side of that, said Kilmer, is that "there is plenty of room for many credit unions to improve."

In a press statement, Cornerstone Advisors CEO Scott Sommer elaborated on that theme: "With vast gaps between high and low performers in lending productivity, delivery channels and other measures, there is so much room for improvement."
