The Sidebar: Nonstop credit union advocacy action underway

Nonstop credit union advocacy efforts are underway—from securing the credit union tax status while preventing interchange amendments in two separate bills in the Senate, to updates in the courts and regulatory changes at the NCUA and CFPB.  

Chief Advocacy Officer Carrie Hunt outlines the state of play in a video distributed as part of America’s Credit Unions’ bi-weekly advocacy newsletter. Hunt emphasized how the united credit union advocacy efforts achieved a win in the House, with the credit union tax status untouched in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1). However, there’s still more work needed ahead.  “A bit more grassroots, a bit more support in messaging—we’re almost there,” she added.  

Watch the full video for updates on where things stand with Congress, how interchange advocacy ramped up, both the lawsuit and staffing changes at the NCUA, and an overview of the CFPB’s latest regulatory changes.
