“America’s Credit Unions congratulates Deputy Assistant Secretary for Financial Institutions Policy John Crews on his nomination to the National Credit Union Administration. Crews understands the important role mission-driven lenders like credit unions play in helping families and small businesses get ahead. His experience at the Treasury Department reflects a thoughtful approach to innovation, safety, and expanding access to affordable financial services. We look forward to working with him in this capacity to ensure credit unions have a modern regulatory framework that supports their ability to serve more than 146 million Americans who rely on them as trusted financial partners in uncertain times.” – America’s Credit Unions’ President/CEO Scott Simpson
In April, Scott Simpson and Greg Mesack met with Crews in his current capacity as Treasury deputy assistant secretary for financial institutions policy. His role advises Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on policies related to financial institutions, regulation, and legislation.
During the meeting, Simpson and Mesack shared the importance of modernizing key regulations to free up credit union time and resources for additional member service and detailed the movement’s opposition to the Illinois Interchange Fee Prohibition Act.
If confirmed, Crews would take the place of current Chairman Kyle Hauptman, whose six-year term expired in August of 2025. Crews’ term would run through August 2031.
