Every year brings about new unique opportunities and challenges facing credit unions. While the industry pushes for innovative ways to better serve their communities, one thing remains unchanged: NAFCU's unwavering advocacy to protect and promote the credit union way and the 134 million Americans they serve. As always, our focus, from both a legislative and regulatory standpoint, is directed heavily by credit unions' needs. Below are NAFCU's 2023 advocacy priorities to ensure those needs are met and that credit unions continue to be the best option for affordable and accessible financial products and services.

Growth

A key component of our priorities with Congress and federal regulators is to make sure credit unions can grow and thrive to strengthen how they serve their communities. Part of that priority is to engage the NCUA to create a flexible and right-sized regulatory environment, one where credit unions are equipped with the tools to be successful and protected from threats that could stifle their growth, including big banks.
