What is the biggest risk?

Written by Anthony Demangone, Powered by NAFCU

Hello from Denver, Colorado. I'm at NAFCU's Risk Management Seminar, and I had to share this nugget.

A panel of risk experts was asked this question: What is the biggest risk you see looming for credit unions.

One of the panelists turned the question around and asked the audience this question. 

What is the biggest risk facing your credit union?

  1. Compliance risk?
  2. Interest rate risk?
  3. Liquidity risk? 
  4. Credit risk?
  5. An inability to hire the right people for the right positions?

More than 90 percent of the room picked #5. 

That got us thinking. What about you?
