Championing the credit union movement

We're Credit Union National Association, or CUNA. We stand for America's credit unions and fiercely advocate for all of them. We help build careers and professional networks. We champion the credit union story at every turn and help credit unions better serve their 120+ million members.

Our partners

Our collaboration with strong system partners is part of our unique and powerful value proposition. Beyond the movement, our coalitions are highly valued in DC by both Democrats and Republicans alike, a driving factor behind why CUNA is one of the Top 10 most respected associations in Washington. In fact, according to data from 2019 Policy Brand Insights—a Ballast Research study of effectiveness in Washington—we're the only financial services association studied across the last three years whose coalitions have become more effective during that period.

We proudly stand with organizations like these:

  • Corporate Credit Unions             
  • Credit Union Service Organizations
  • CUNA Mutual Group
  • National Credit Union Foundation
  • World Council of Credit Unions

Our power of association

The combined power of a national association, state leagues, member credit unions and more than 120 million members form an unequaled network looking out for credit unions’ best interests. We are stronger—and better—together.

We work with the Leagues on important initiatives like these:

  • Removing barriers on the federal, state, and local level and fight regulatory burden
  • Answering compliance questions and provide professional training and resources
  • Advancing a positive credit union message
  • Providing training and resources for credit union leaders, staff and volunteers 
  • Joining forces to defeat state-level, anti-credit union initiatives
