June 12: Get updates on CECL, BSA/AML, marijuana banking, more

NAFCU President and CEO Dan Berger and senior leaders of the association’s award-winning advocacy team next week will give members an update on key credit union issues, including the current expected credit loss (CECL) standard, Bank Secrecy Act (BSA)/anti-money laundering (AML) regime, marijuana banking and more.

The Q2 Member Call-In is slated to begin at 4 p.m. Eastern June 12. This member-only benefit is free, but registration is required.

Here’s an update on some hot-button issues that will be further discussed during the member call-in:
