Metsger promotes CU CDFI certification

In a presentation at the Credit Union National Association's annual America's Credit Union Conference, Chairman Metsger encouraged qualified credit unions to seek certification as Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). “Credit unions are uniquely positioned to advance the goals of the Community Development Financial Institutions Program,” Metsger said, “and I encourage every qualified credit union to make CDFI certification a priority in the next few months. Increasing the number of credit unions with this certification will allow significant dollars to be put to work helping people of modest means meet their financial needs. This is the core of the credit union mission.”
