Counsel members while improving CU results
CUNA Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP) eSchool provides credit union employees with the skills and knowledge required to guide their members to sound financial decisions.
Americans often learn about finances from their family and friends, so there tends to be a need for expert help. With certified credit union financial counselors on staff, credit unions are better able to:
- Help members experiencing financial difficulties
- Demonstrate the credit union difference
- Attract new members
- Grow product and service revenue
Since 2011, credit unions with at least one Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) have seen a significant drop in delinquency rates.
