“CUNA offers its warm welcome and hearty congratulations to the National Association of Realtors on its success in establishing a credit union for its members. The technological innovation that will allow the new Realtors FCU to provide online credit union access to its 1.2 million members across the country is laudable in that it expands the reach of cooperative financial institutions. NAR has worked diligently on its members’ behalf to join the more than 90 million Americans who, as members of 8,000 state- and federally chartered credit unions, enjoy the status of member-owners of their financial cooperatives.”
