Loans
In "Letter 154" the Chairman of the NCUA communicated
several clear messages:
- One of the PRIMARY functions of credit unions is
to lend money to members.
- Credit unions need to take
a more aggressive approach
in marketing loans.
- Credit unions should address their
ability to lend money to members who have a "less than perfect" credit
history.
- Prudent business practices should be followed
in lending policies.
MMSS agrees, "The very best investment a credit
union can make is a loan to a member." The PRIMARY
source of income for a credit union NEEDS to be generated
through their lending program.
To succeed in lending, it is critical that the credit
union be perceived as a "lending institution" -- one
that has the ability and desire to
satisfy the borrowing needs of members. If your credit
union has struggled in terms of growing loans, MMSS can
develop an action plan outlining how the credit union,
its loan products, services, and delivery channels can
be positioned and marketed to realize success.
