CUNA released its 2015-2016 Fees Report, which measures and evaluates fee income areas for credit unions nationwide and offers guidelines for institutions wanting to evaluate their own fee income programs.

The category, which ranks a few percentage points higher than it did several years before, included NSF, courtesy pay and overdraft protection fees.
