by. Mike Lawson

With our vice president currently visiting Ukraine this week and more violence erupting, the world’s eyes focus deeper on this part of Europe and what will come of the troubled situation over there. Many of us who are tracking the events overseas already know the precarious political circumstances that lay ahead for the country. Looking at it from a financial perspective, many Ukrainians are taking monetary matters into their own hands. So what exactly are they doing with their money?

In Part 2 of our talk with WOCCU’s President/CEO Brian Branch, we discuss Brian’s recent frontlines trip to the country — as he reveals how Ukrainians are managing their finances in these urgent times. He also tells us why he went, what he saw, and what credit unions can do to help. Brian answers these questions and more in a very timely, intriguing, and firsthand report on how credit unions can make an impact on today’s world events. Don’t miss it.
