Does your credit union have a stellar lending program? Then we have good news! 

Applications are now being accepted for the annual Excellence in Lending Awards, which recognize outstanding credit union lending results and best practices. 

Credit unions demonstrating innovation in lending to meet member needs are encouraged to apply by the Sept. 17 deadline.

We co-sponsor the Excellence in Lending Awards program with CUNA Lending Council. And, together, we established the program in 2000 to identify, recognize and share examples of lending excellence within the credit union movement. The award recognizes credit unions for their ability to serve members while sustaining sound financial performance.

Awards are given to recipients for their distinction in business lending, consumer lending (including home equity), mortgage lending, and low/modest means lending for the year 2018. Credit union applications are evaluated on: strategy (40 points), programs (30 points), and performance (30 points). All CUNA-affiliated credit unions in the United States are eligible.

Winners are announced at the 24th Annual CUNA Lending Council Conference, Oct. 28-31, in Anaheim, Calif. Airfare, hotel and conference registration for one representative of each winning credit union is included with the award.
