Berger highlights CU involvement in communities, charities on leadership podcast
On a new episode of the SEE YOU LEAD podcast, NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger joined host Glynn Frechette to talk fintechs, credit union involvement in communities and charities, supporting servicemembers and more.
Berger spoke passionately about how doing business with credit unions supports community and charity interests: “When you do business with a credit union, they are giving back to their communities. And you see them there.”
“You see the board at the little league fields, you see the banners at the volleyball matches or the swim meets. They’re everywhere and that’s because they care about the communities because they don’t have shareholders or stockholders putting on those financial pressures so they reinvest in their communities,” continued Berger. “Doing business with a credit union is a brilliant move because they are everywhere and they are taking care of their members, and they are taking care of their communities and they are taking care of Main Street.”
Berger wrapped up the conversation by highlighting NAFCU’s work and support of veteran groups, including partnering with the Defense Credit Union Council to advocate on top priorities, to partnering with organizations like Folds of Honor, Wreaths Across America at Arlington National Cemetery, and Project Healing Waters.
“Financial support is always welcomed by these terrific veterans’ groups but more importantly, they need people… There are always ways to help,” said Berger. “We have our freedoms and the freedoms that we enjoy is because of the veterans. We have an obligation to take care our veterans as well as our current service people.”

Add to Calendar 2023-09-22 14:00:00 2023-09-22 14:00:00 Understanding Credit Card Portfolio Sales & Agent Programs Both credit union and bank credit card issuers are under intense pressure from various sources, including competitor innovation, significant internal resource commitments, increasing operating expenses, uncertain regulatory and economic environments and a variety of capital and liquidity constraints. This has led to about 80% of all banks offering credit cards under an ‘agent issuing’ model, where a third-party issues credit cards under the financial institution’s name. While hundreds of credit unions do the same, and interest in this option has increased in the last two years, the majority of credit unions still own and manage this product themselves. Deciding whether this option can meet strategic, financial and member needs can be difficult to untangle. In this webinar, Understanding Credit Card Portfolio Sales & Agent Programs, you’ll delve into the structure of such programs, the financial and risk-profile impacts of such a decision, the contractual commitments required of both parties and discover evaluation tips and processes for any credit union that would like to evaluate this path.
