So, you bought a bank. Now what?
Recommended For You
Join us for an engaging and timely webinar exploring the growing trend of credit unions acquiring banks — a movement that’s slowly reshaping the financial landscape and expanding access to affordable financial services.
We will discuss the political issues, the financial details and the realities of what buying banks are for credit unions looking to expand their footprint, while attempting to serve new areas and new members.
Does it make sense for the credit union industry to take this bank-buying path?
Join us on Thursday, April 24, at 2 p.m. EST for a live discussion featuring credit union leaders and CU Times Editor-in-Chief Michael Ogden.
As part of your membership, only CU Times PRO members can join us for this event as we dissect this hot-button issue. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with us and ask your most pressing questions in our live Q&A session.
