CUs: Share feedback on regulatory and legislative hot topics

survey Credit unions are encouraged to share their insights and perspective on current regulatory and legislative hot topics via this month's Economic & CU Monitor survey. Responses to the survey are due tomorrow, Dec. 8; the survey can be filled out online.

Survey questions review credit union experiences with digital assets, small business lending, the current expected credit loss standard (CECL), field of membership, and more.

Also included in the survey are eight questions on growth and earnings outlook, lending conditions, and regulatory burden to help inform NAFCU's Credit Union Sentiment Index (CUSI).

NAFCU relies on survey responses to provide its members a glimpse of trends affecting the credit union industry as a whole and uses the data to inform its advocacy efforts on Capitol Hill and with regulatory agencies such as the NCUA and the CFPB.

For more on NAFCU's award-winning research team, check out the association's Macro Data Flash reports for insights into interest rates, auto sales, the housing market, and more.

From the teller line to the call center, on up to collections--working with borrowers who are confused, angry and looking for somebody to blame--is a daily occurrence. Frontline staff need to develop a thick skin and a solutions-oriented tool kit to work through these challenging interactions.  We need to remember that the members are not always expressing frustration with the institution. Their ire is most often tied to external events or other triggers. But at the end of the day, we must find a way to meet their needs with as little emotional trauma as possible. Fortunately, in this Dealing with Difficult Members: 5 Foolproof Techniques webinar, you’ll learn that there are methods you can utilize to focus on a positive outcome and work through most situations.
