Faith-based credit unions

<p>If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. <br/><br/>This proverb sums up the mission of faith-based credit unions and the Faith Based Credit Union Alliance. The alliance, which celebrated its <a href='https://news.cuna.org/articles/118465-you-truly-are-doing-gods-work'>10-year anniversary in September</a>, embraces collaboration to move its member credit unions—and their members—forward together. <br/><br/>This episode of the <a href='http://news.cuna.org/podcasts'>CUNA News Podcast</a> features Drs. Joronda and Hiram Crawford, board members at $1.4 million asset Israel Methcomm Federal Credit Union in Chicago, and Robin Hollis, regional director for the <a href='http://www.icul.com/'>Illinois Credit Union League</a>.  <br/><br/>They discuss how faith-based credit unions differ from their mainstream counterparts, relying primarily on volunteers to serve their tight-knit memberships. <br/><br/>They also explain how the Faith Based Credit Union Alliance fosters collaboration among its member credit unions, what mainstream credit unions can learn from faith-based credit unions, and more.</p>
