WASHINGTON (September 2, 2014) -- National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) President and CEO Dan Berger lauded the National Credit Union Administration’s (NCUA) second-quarter 2014 call report data, which showcases the value of credit unions to the nation’s economy with loan growth that reached its highest point since 2006.

“The NCUA’s second-quarter call report data confirms that credit unions are great catalysts for economic growth, providing their more than 98 million members with low-cost, high quality loans,” said Berger.
