Every Community Development Credit Union can share stories about how they have helped their members beat the odds and pursue their dreams of financial independence. This Bank Transfer Day we celebrate CDCU's service to the underserved. CDCUs are growing in membership, loans, and deposits. In the first 11 months of 2016, CDCU membership has increased significantly. Today, CDCUs serve 6 million members and hold over $60 billion in community-controlled assets.
Growing CDCUs can leverage Federation secondary capital to expand safe and affordable lending in their communities. These subordinated loans of up to $2 million can be counted towards a credit union's net worth, and can be used to expand innovative CDCU products and services to new and emerging markets. Join us at the Federation's Annual Conference in Dallas to learn more about secondary capital and meet with representatives of our Community Development Investment Program, or contact us at cdinvestment@inclusiv.org.
