America’s Credit Unions and TruStage have reaffirmed their more than 90-year partnership, strengthening their commitment to supporting credit unions and their members. In a statement Thursday, the two orgainizations recently recommitted to their mutual cooperation agreement, reinforcing their shared mission of promoting financial well-being and advocacy for the credit union industry.
“Ensuring the credit union industry remains a thriving, vibrant part of local communities is a priority for America’s Credit Unions. More than 140 million Americans choose credit unions as their trusted financial partner, and our advocacy efforts are committed to protecting those relationships,” America’s Credit Unions President/CEO Jim Nussle said. “I could not ask for a better partner in TruStage, with a similar mission promoting the strength of the credit union ecosystem."
TruStage, originally founded by the credit union system, continues to provide essential support to credit unions and their members. “At TruStage we believe brighter financial futures should be accessible to everyone. Our organization was founded by the credit union system to protect credit unions and their members. We remain steadfast in that mission,” TruStage President/CEO Terrance Williams said.
Under the renewed agreement, TruStage will serve as America’s Credit Unions’ System Partner, supporting advocacy, research, education and outreach.
Together, the organizations will work to protect credit unions’ tax-exempt status, advocate for beneficial legislation and help credit unions grow while promoting financial security for members.
