CU 2.0 Podcast Episode 379 DCUC's Jason Stverak on Why Small Credit Unions Matter, Really
Description
Go back to when I started to report on credit unions and there were over 8000 credit unions. Now there are 4370.
In 2020 there were 5099 credit unions. Just in five years the count is down by 700+.
The math going forward is gloomy.
That’s why I smiled when I saw Jason Stverak’s CU Insight piece on Why small credit unions matter and how we can help them thrive.
Jason is chief advocacy officer at DCUC, the Defense Credit Union Council and is a past podcast guest.
Why is he advocating for keeping little credit unions alive?
I had to get him on the show - this episode was recorded on November 12, just hours before the federal government reopened after the longest shutdown in history.
We start by talking about what’s going on in Washington DC now - and quickly move into why DCUC has become an aggressive lobbyist and then we focus on why small credit unions matter and why DCUC cares.
It’s good stuff.
