Connect. Grow. Counsel.
American consumers continue to need reliable financial advice from budgeting to navigating financial hardships. CUNA Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP) provides credit union staff with the skills and knowledge required to guide members to financial security.
With certified CU financial counselors on staff, credit unions are better able to:
- Help those experiencing financial difficulties
- Demonstrate the credit union difference
- Attract new members
- Grow product and service revenue
- Reduce delinquencies and charge-offs
Since 2011, credit unions with at least one Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) have seen a significant drop in delinquency rates.
