During these difficult economic times, CUNA Mutual Group has worked hard to keep premiums down, deliver greater value to credit unions and their members through our products and services, and still grow our company's financial strength.

CUNA Mutual’s diversified financial performance in 2010 enabled the company to provide record reimbursements and bonus dollars to the credit union system.

We’re doing everything we can to support credit unions during tough economic times when they need it most. Our overall support for the system was nearly $40 million in 2010.

Beyond our financial support, we’re also proud to partner with CUNA to advocate for credit union interests. We’re pleased our latest efforts with CUNA contributed to the Federal Reserve Board dropping plans related to three proposed amendments to Regulation Z—amendments that would have had negative consequences for credit unions.

When there's a credit union fight, CUNA Mutual will be there, advocating on behalf of credit unions and their members.

At CUNA Mutual, we see ourselves serving as a bridge to financial security for credit unions and their members. With credit union input as our guide, we’re working to continuously improve every aspect of our business—products, distribution, service, and infrastructure.

CUNA Mutual was founded by pioneers of the credit union movement. Today, we continue to follow in our founders’ footsteps with a passionate commitment to credit unions and their members. We’ll do all we can to help you be successful.

We thank you for your business and we appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

JEFF POST is president/CEO of CUNA Mutual Group.
