NAFCU, CUs continue meetings with Fed banks
NAFCU Chief Economist and Vice President of Research Curt Long and member credit unions are continuing to meet with Federal Reserve banks to discuss various industry issues, including the economic outlook, interest rates, lending landscape and faster payments. They met yesterday with Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard, and will meet Friday with Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren.
Both Bullard and Rosengren are currently voting members on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) – the Fed's monetary policy-setting arm. The committee met last week and left rates unchanged, and also indicated it will continue to reduce the Fed's securities holdings.
Long and a group of NAFCU members also met last month with Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis President Neel Kashkari.
NAFCU continues to engage with the Fed regarding its work to make the payments system faster and more secure – an issue on which the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston is leading – and has met with Fed staff to discuss the strategy for achieving more secure payments. The association in December shared how credit unions could benefit from faster payments services, and the Fed has launched an initiative among industry stakeholders to help improve payments security.
NAFCU and its Board of Directors meet annually with the Federal Reserve to present findings from the association's Report on Credit Unions and to discuss issues critical to the credit union industry. The group met with Federal Reserve Vice Chairman of Supervision Randal Quarles in November; see a recap of the discussion here.

[02:27] Having a leader who can really communicate cyber risks and understand how ready that institution is to deal with cyber events is incredibly important. [05:36] We need to be talking about risk openly. We need to be documenting and really understanding what remediating risk looks like and how you do that strategically. [16:38] Governance, risk, compliance, and adherence to regulatory controls are all being looked at much more closely. You are also seeing other technology that is coming into the fold directly responsible for helping CISOs navigate those waters. [18:28] The reaction from the governing bodies is directly related to the needs of the position. They’re trying to help make sure that we are positioned in a way that gets us the most possibility of success, maturing our postures and protecting the institutions.
