Reps. McHenry and Budd thank CUs for stepping up during COVID-19
Attendees of NAFCU’s hybrid Congressional Caucus Tuesday received gratitude from House Financial Services Committee Member Ted Budd, R-N.C., and Ranking Member Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., for their efforts in guiding the industry’s 127 million credit union members during the pandemic crisis.
“[Credit unions] provide unique and necessary services, and that’s why I am always happy to fight to make it easier for your institutions to serve and fight for your members,” said Budd, who works with many credit unions across the country and especially those in North Carolina, to attendees.
Budd has advocated for several legislative efforts aimed at helping credit unions, including sending a letter to the Federal Reserve urging against the reopening of the Dodd-Frank Act’s Durbin Amendment rulemaking. “Financial institutions have been on the front lines of the pandemic, helping members with all needs,” said Budd, “I plan on continuing to stand up for consumers and the institutions that serve them.”
Additionally, McHenry discussed the importance of a regulatory framework that fosters innovation, stating that “right touch regulation” is what credit unions need and encouraged credit unions to be technology permissive rather than skeptical.
“[Credit unions] play a critical role in getting our economy back on track and helping families make longer term decisions in choppy water right now,” remarked McHenry.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically. [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters. [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They’re trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.
