Last week, 130 credit union advocates from across the Commonwealth traveled to Richmond in support of our credit union legislation and to educate lawmakers about the “Credit Union Difference.”

Virginia’s credit unions are lobbying for a measure to provide credit unions with the authority to hold public deposits (HB 1205). This authority would allow public entities – city and county governments and their various subdivisions, for example – to deposit public funds at local credit unions, providing greater choice, boosting competition, and benefitting taxpayers by providing better rates on deposits.
