The Credit Union Impact Dashboard

The numbers tell the story: compared to banks and other financial institutions, credit unions are the best choice for consumers. A new interactive dashboard lets you see for yourself.

The Credit Union Impact Dashboard provides an easy, interactive way to see how credit unions outperform their peers.

  • Understand the financial benefits and economic impact of credit unions across your state
  • Share the magnitude of localized financial and economic impacts of credit unions
  • Support strategic business decisions by identifying opportunities with comparisons to other financial institutions

You'll soon discover macro truths and micro facts that tell a remarkable story.

When you've run the numbers, looked at the charts and built your data-driven story, there's one more step.

Communicate with policymakers. Make good on the "So what?"

When it's time for policymakers and legislators to consider credit union issues, you can be prepared with solid proof and compelling reports.

While a specific data inquiry yields a specific result, there are macro-level takeaways that shine through time and again:

  • Credit unions deliver billions of dollars in financial benefits to members and nonmembers through lower loan interest rates and higher saving yields. and fewer and lower fees.
  • Credit unions have a high impact on local economies by creating thousands of jobs, generating billions of dollars in economic output, and billions in tax revenues for state and federal governments.

That means better interest rates and more members are being served. It also means credit union-friendly legislation is one of the best investments policymakers can make for their constituents.
