FinCEN has a New Look; You Win Some, You Lose Some; Where's My Check?

FinCEN has updated its web page.  I normally get queasy when agencies update their web pages, because I have to spend the next two weeks wandering around the "new and improved" website to find what I need.  But this change makes sense.  You can visit it here.  FinCEN now organizes information by industry.  Along the top, you'll see an icon for "financial institutions."  When you click on that, you'll go to an area that gathers all the information that pertains to us.  Nice.

NAFCU (4-6) split another double-header.  Somehow, we have to win two in a row to get back to .500.  I'd like to say that we're a much better team than our record reflects.  But doesn't every team with a losing record say that?  That being said, we are a much better team than our record reflects.  Really.

Here's a link to an old post that tells you when you can expect your IRS stimulus check. Or, as my friend Larry puts it, when he can expect to buy a big screen TV.  Based on the IRS schedule, many of the checks are about to delivered or are on their way very soon.  For credit unions, this could lead to increased deposits or loan payments.Â
