A little weekend reading...

It has been a good week at work.Â
- On Monday, we released a study that proves what we all feel. Credit unions help Americans. Greatly. To the tune of $16 billion a year. Read the study here.
- On Tuesday, a banker lawsuit against NCUA over its MBL rule was thrown out. (NAFCU Today)
- Yesterday, NAFCU released a video to help its members share what the credit union difference is. We call the video, "Credit Unions: Banking without Bankers." Watch it and share it. I just love it. (Of course, I'm a bit biased.) NAFCU members - you can customize the video to add your own branding. Not a NAFCU member? I can help with that!Â
Well, enough of that. On to this week's reading pile.
