This week, CreditUnions.com looks at relationship-based pricing, surviving the booms and busts of an uncertain economy, and credit union earnings data.
Here are three data points you can’t miss:
12 Months
New members who join Leaders Credit Union through indirect loans are presented with a number of offers in an effort to deepen their relationship with the credit union.
One offer, good for the first 12 months of membership, includes $1,000 toward the closing of a new mortgage or refinance, as well as a one percentage point reduction in rate for any new purchase of an auto, boat, or four-wheeler if the member signs up for a checking account, e-statements, or a debit card. In addition, Leaders offers a guaranteed line of credit of up to $2,500 for those who open a checking account.
