ALBANY, NY and SCOTTSDALE, AZ (January 21, 2014) — The Credit Union Association of New York (CUANY) has finalized a strategic partnership agreement with Vero, a provider of identity theft prevention and recovery services.
“We at the Association are committed to helping New York credit unions and their members combat the growing threat of identity fraud, and this partnership with Vero takes that commitment even further,” said CUANY President/CEO William J. Mellin. “The individuals at Vero have unique expertise in both the identity recovery and the credit union industries, making them a great provider for our member credit unions.”
