WASHINGTON, D.C. – America’s Credit Unions and TruStage have officially reinforced their storied 90+ years of commitment to advancing the well-being of credit unions and their members. The two organizations have recommitted to their mutual cooperation agreement.

“Ensuring the credit union industry remains a thriving, vibrant part of local communities is a priority for America’s Credit Unions. More than 140 million Americans choose credit unions as their trusted financial partner and our advocacy efforts are committed to protecting those relationships,” said America’s Credit Unions President/CEO Jim Nussle. “I could not ask for a better partner in TruStage, with a similar mission promoting the strength of the credit union ecosystem. 90 years is a long time to have a partnership, and our organizations have done immense work for the betterment of a mission we care about.”

“At TruStage we believe brighter financial futures should be accessible to everyone. Our organization was founded by the credit union system to protect credit unions and their members. We remain steadfast in that mission,” said TruStage President/CEO Terrance Williams. “We are proud to partner with America’s Credit Unions, working together to strengthen credit unions, helping them drive business results, all while educating people about the many benefits of credit unions and credit union membership.”  

The new agreement recognizes TruStage as the America’s Credit Unions’ System Partner for its support and represents our shared commitment to the preservation and growth of the credit union movement—working together to honor those who came before and an evolution of that commitment to help credit unions reach and serve more consumers to live their best financial lives.

With our shared historical roots, this partnership includes cooperation relating to advocacy, research, education and outreach activities to protect the credit union federal and state tax status and influence additional legislation to help credit unions remain competitive and promote the financial security of their members.
