The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) said credit unions can expect a national merger registry "to be live by October." The registry, an idea initally recommended by the Credit Union National Association. would provide the names of potential credit union merger partners.

Credit union CEO total compensation declined 3.5% in 2009, and that decline can be traced to a reduction in variable pay, says a new CUNA report.

With grassroots member business lending activism in full swing ahead of the U.S. Congress's pending return to Washington, CUNA has again taken the fight for increased MBL cap to the internet.

CUNA has urged the NCUA not to proceed with proposed changes that would limit or generally prohibit golden parachute and indemnification payments to officials of federally insured credit unions, including natural person and corporate credit unions.
