Voting Underway for the Proposed CUNA/NAFCU Merger

The voting period for the proposed merger of CUNA and NAFCU has officially opened. Voting will close at 5:00 PM Eastern on Wednesday, November 1, 2023. 

​​“The formation of America’s Credit Unions will be an opportunity to better serve our collective membership, lead the industry into the future, and ensure the growth and prosperity of all credit unions. America’s Credit Unions will maximize value and efficiency for members, while remaining focused on providing relentless advocacy, unparalleled compliance assistance, and impactful educational events,” wrote NAFCU Board of Directors Chair Gary Grinnell and CUNA Board of Directors Chair Lisa Ginter in messages to member CEOs ahead of the vote.

"We are excited with the news of CUNA and NAFCU announcing merger intentions to create America’s Credit Unions. At MnCUN, we see this as a tremendous opportunity to combine the best of both trade associations to provide best-in-class resources for credit unions and speak with one voice in Washington D.C. We look forward to working collaboratively to be credit unions’ strongest partner and advocate," Humphrey said earlier this month.
