Why Join the New Jersey Credit Union League?
Our mission is to assure the vitality and future success of
New Jersey credit unions by being the primary source of services,
information, education and representation in the state of New
Jersey.
The League's core functions are:
Government Affairs
Regulatory Affairs
Education
Communication
Strategic Planning Services
Each of these functions helps the League provide the best service
and support possible to our member credit unions.
Government Affairs
The League acts as an advocate for credit unions on both the
federal and state government levels. We monitor legislation in
Trenton and Washington, D.C. to ensure that the credit union
movement is being represented in any issue impacting our operations.
As a member, you enjoy these benefits:

legislators
- Political fundraising on your behalf by CULAC
- Grassroots political action by the League's own lobbyist
- Admittance to an invitation-only CULAC
forum held at our Annual Meeting & Convention
Regulatory Affairs
As regulations governing credit unions change, it can be a challenge
to keep up with the changes and to determine how the changes
affect your credit union. The league has a full-time legal counsel
on staff and retains the services of another when necessary.
In addition, the League keeps in close contact with the NCUA
regulators to keep abreast of regulatory issues.
In addition, the League will soon offer an online compliance
tool to member credit unions "InfoSite." This dues supported
service will provide answers to regulatory questions at the click
of a mouse.
Our members have access to these resources:
- League Counsel
- League InfoSite online compliance service.

is vital to the success of every credit union. The League has
