“We are thrilled to be able to assist the Maryland & DC Credit Union Association with helping their member credit unions segue into business services to achieve core deposit and new member growth. This alliance will bring to the forefront for all of MDDCCUA member credit unions, methods to accomplish implementation and supporting products and services needed to effectively and competitively compete in the business services arena,” said Murray Halperin, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. “It is not about when credit unions will offer business services, because the need is here now. Rather, it is about how they will now offer competitive business products and services to their members. The MDDCCUA has recognized this and made it a part of their culture.”

Mike Beall, CEO of MDDCCUA welcomes the addition of CUBC as a strategic business partner. “Credit unions realize the importance of business products and services, but are concerned about the management and operational requirements involved with offering them. That’s why we are proud of our alliance with CUBC. They bring the expertise and timely solutions to enable credit unions to provide business services to an untapped segment of their membership base.”
