Over the last two weeks, credit unions have maintained a steady stream of contacts with U.S. House and Senate members, urging them to support bills moving through both chambers that would delay implementation of the Fed’s proposed rules on debit interchange. Credit unions have generated more than 50,000 contacts with Congress in just that short amount of time.
CO-OP Financial Services joins CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney in urging all credit unions to take the next step – engage your members and encourage them to “Call on Congress.”
This grassroots campaign is designed to help you educate your members on the importance of the interchange issue to them as credit union members and consumers; promote the campaign to your members, and equipment them with the means to “Call on Congress.”
