America's housing affordability crisis won't be solved by one policy alone, but credit unions could play a larger role if Congress gives them the tools to do so.

In this op-ed, @AmericasCUs CEO Scott Simpson argues that affordable housing legislation, regulatory modernization, and expanded support for community lenders could help more families achieve homeownership while strengthening access to financial services in underserved communities.

Another small credit union has disappeared through merger.

After being placed into conservatorship in January due to unsafe and unsound practices, Beverly Hills City Employees FCU has been merged into Nuvision Federal Credit Union. The move comes amid continued consolidation and growing regulatory pressure on smaller institutions, a segment that has been shrinking steadily in recent years.

Credit unions already serve their members every day — now they can serve coffee that saves lives ☕❤️

Tyfone and DBSI are teaming up with Java4Kids to help credit unions boost member engagement, strengthen community ties, and support children’s healthcare through CU4Kids and Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

Through interactive Java4Kids coffee stations or simple digital promotions, members can grab ethically sourced coffee while banking — and every purchase generates a $5 donation to help kids in need across 170 nonprofit children’s hospitals nationwide.

From QR codes and signage to full-service coffee shops, credit unions can choose the level of involvement that fits their branch and brand. DBSI handles design and installation, making it easy to do good while doing business.

Because when members see their credit union investing in local kids, loyalty follows.

☕ One cup.
❤️ One scan.
🏥 Real impact.

The NCUA has permanently barred five former credit union employees from working at federally insured financial institutions, citing criminal convictions and alleged misconduct that regulators say resulted in millions of dollars in losses.

The cases range from fraudulent loans and account theft to embezzlement and improper commissions, highlighting the ongoing importance of internal controls, fraud prevention, and oversight across the financial services industry.

For years, financial institutions viewed digital banking as a cost center and branches as the primary drivers of revenue. That thinking is changing fast.

In a new interview with Tyfone, Achieva Credit Union CTO Tracy Ingram explains why digital banking is now influencing growth, retention, product adoption, and member engagement—and why many credit unions are rethinking how they measure success across channels.

As members increasingly begin and maintain financial relationships through mobile devices, the question is no longer whether digital matters. It's whether institutions can make it central to their growth strategy.

In the latest episode of Digital Banking Podcast, host Josh DeTar of Tyfone welcomed Parijat Banerjee, Financial Services Global Business Head at LatentView Analytics. The episode centered around how AI depended on strong data, clear process design, and a human-first purpose.

Josh and Parijat started with a simple idea: good technology should help people pay better attention. Parijat argued that listening remained the most useful human skill, and he framed AI as a tool that could remove busy work and make space for real focus.

Credit unions and banks have long sparred over taxes, competition, and market share. Now, Credit Union of Colorado is taking that debate directly to consumers with a new ad campaign featuring “Mr. Big Banker,” a fictional executive who openly embraces hidden fees, teaser rates, and other banking frustrations.

The campaign reflects a broader effort by credit unions to differentiate themselves as member-owned alternatives at a time when competition between banks and CUs continues to intensify.

Digital banking is no longer just a cost center — and some credit unions are reorganizing their entire growth strategy around that reality.

In a new interview, @Members1stFCU CEO Mike Wilson explains why the $8.6 billion institution spent years building and owning its own digital banking platform instead of relying on off-the-shelf solutions. The strategy, he says, is about more than convenience: it’s about data ownership, personalization, member trust, and treating digital engagement as a true revenue driver.

The Pennsylvania-based credit union is now doubling down on both digital banking and branch expansion, arguing the future isn’t “branches versus digital” — it’s both working together in different ways.

Are midsize banks reaching the point where scale matters more than identity?

In a new analysis, banking consultant Jeff Marsico examines why Cadence Bank and Stellar Bancorp chose to sell — and what those deals say about the future of community banking.

Rising technology costs, regulatory pressure, and the race for scale are reshaping the industry, raising a difficult question: Can banks remain truly “community focused” as they grow larger and more commoditized?

“Not all mergers are bad. But the industry also needs to stop treating mergers as either failure or victory.”

In a new op-ed, New Orleans Firemen’s Federal Credit Union CEO Judy DeLucca argues that small credit unions can still thrive — if the industry focuses less on asset size and more on mission, collaboration, and community impact.
