Advocacy

NACUSO is the leading advocate for CUSO-related regulatory issues, with a long-standing track record of collaboration with firms like Messick Lauer & Smith P.C. and Dollar Associates, LLC.

Together, we’ve tackled key issues impacting both credit unions and CUSOs—including the MBL cap, NCUA’s CUSO regulations, and risk-based capital rules. NACUSO remains committed to protecting and advancing the role of CUSOs in the credit union system for the long term.

Membership

Now in our 40th year, NACUSO has grown from a resource focused on the formation and operation of CUSOs into a collaborative force shaping the future of the credit union industry.

Since 1985, we’ve adapted to meet the evolving needs of credit unions—supporting innovation, strategic partnerships, and business growth. Today, NACUSO is a national network of collaborators and innovators working to amplify the voice of credit unions and CUSOs. Through education, connection, and actionable resources, we help our members find solutions, build businesses, and get things done.
