NACUSO has evolved from an organization in 1985 that provided education and advice on the formation and operation of CUSOs to one that helps credit unions collaborate, innovate, and build business networks. NACUSO adapted to meet the changing need of the credit union industry. Today, NACUSO is “an educational organization comprised of a network of collaborators and innovators that embrace a positive industry message and amplifies the voice of credit unions and CUSOs by providing resources to help people collaborate, identify opportunities, build businesses, find solutions, and get things done.”

Membership Benefits.

Annual membership in NACUSO provides an educational and networking resource for credit unions, CUSOs, and vendors supporting the industry. Among the many benefits offered through NACUSO:

  • Provides a unifying source of industry leadership and sense of urgency for promoting collaboration and innovation to help the industry grow and survive.
  • Provides education and networking opportunities to help credit unions understand the value of “Buying CUSO”.
  • Creates the Ultimate Conference Experiences which highlight collaboration models, scalable platforms, multi-owned CUSOs and business networks.
  • Timely topics and blogs keep you current and up-to-date through peer insights with relevant information on CUSOs, networked businesses and collaborations.
  • Provides a mechanism and communication network for finding out “who’s doing what” in the industry, and discovering ways to synergistically work with other CUSOs, using the new NACUSO Marketplace and the CUSO Analyzer. The CUSO Analyzer is the only searchable database that contains all the CUSOs in the U.S. and the credit unions that use and/or support them. We make this data only available to our partners and members. In addition to the CUSO Analyzer, members have the opportunity to have a free listing in the NACUSO Marketplace. NACUSO Business Services has developed the NACUSO Marketplace to facilitate those connections on a digital platform. Service providers have a virtual sales booth they control. Credit unions are able to identify multiple provider choices, learn details about the services and value proposition of each provider, and compare providers to decide which providers to pursue further. More info about this is at www.NACUSOBiz.com.
  • Facilitates aggregation and scalable platforms in the industry among credit unions and CUSOs  in order to lower unit costs, and/or increase product value which ultimately drives value back to the member.
  • Tracks and monitors the implementation of collaborative efforts, and provides information on implementation techniques and organization structures which support the collaboration and networked business models.
  • Serves as an industry advocate and voice for CUSOs on regulatory issues; provides timely and in-depth answers to “Request For Comment” action letters from the NCUA.

Testimonials

I don’t think I have ever attended a better gathering of CUSOs and credit unions.  NACUSO is the place where fences come down; one of the only conferences where people gather with the primary purpose of working together and helping each other.  The energy from collaboration and innovation is what makes NACUSO and its members great!
Bill Beardsley, CEO
Michigan Business Connection
For me as a CUSO CEO, the networking opportunities to meet with peers and suppliers is the best forum I have found, second to none of all other venues. Always a lot of new faces and opportunities as well as a good number of familiar faces. For our CUSO, this is an absolute must attend event. And I would suggest joining NACUSO and attending conference for any new CUSOs or any entities thinking of starting or joining a CUSO. You’ll be seeing CU Sol, LLC represented NACUSO for years to come.
Walt Agius, Former CUSO CEO
CU Sol, LLC 
Once again it was my favorite conference. There are so many forward thinking people who are all willing to share, collaborate and think outside of the box in attendance.  It makes me excited to be in this industry and no other conference does that for me. In fact, I think I will bring my executive team with me next year!
Becky Reed, CEO
Lone Star Credit Union
The sustainability of the credit union industry depends on increased collaboration and partnership, and NACUSO’s Annual Network Conference allows me to achieve both. I consider attendance an absolute must. The venues, speakers and content are consistently top-notch. There’s simply limited options when it comes to networking with like-minded and similarly focused credit union executives and I cherish the professional relationships I’ve made through NACUSO.
Michael Nagl, President & CEO
Centennial Lending
NACUSO is a fantastic resource for all credit union professionals, not just those leading CUSOs. In my years of affiliation with NACUSO, I have found credit unions to market my CUSO’s products through, met a credit union CEO who hired me as part of her executive team, met vendors whose product I brought to my credit union, and networked with board members who subsequently interviewed me for the CEO position at their credit union. The success I’ve had in my career is directly attributable to my association with NACUSO.
David Kennedy President & CEO
University of Kentucky Federal Credit Union
Being part of NACUSO and attending the annual conference provides us access to the industry’s top influential people. We always come back with fresh ideas at NACUSO’s annual conference. Even if you’re not a CUSO owner or work with one, everyone looking for innovation should be a NACUSO member
