President Obama Thanks Credit Unions for Small Business Lending

At a White House briefing on Wednesday, NAFCU President Fred Becker thanked President Obama for acknowledging credit unions' role in small business lending.

In a number of initiatives designed to open small business access to credit, the Obama administration included credit unions that serve as community development financial institutions in a proposal that would provide lower-cost capital if they lend to small businesses in the hardest hit rural and urban areas.

Obama noted his appreciation “for all that credit unions are doing” in lending to small businesses and business owners.
