Financial Advisors within the credit union environment have a unique situation. This section details items Advisors need to know, understand and utilize when in the credit union environment. Several important guidelines must be followed:
1. All broker/dealer activities must be handled by registered personal only. Non-registered personnel may assist in clearly defined administrative duties, and no others.
2. All securities-related incoming mail must be handled by a person who has been fingerprinted and is an associated person with FINRA through Navy Federal Brokerage Services, LLC. S/he must be fingerprinted, complete a portion of Form U-4 for registration as an associated person with FINRA through Navy Federal Brokerage Services, LLC and submit these documents to the Licensing & Contracting Department. S/he must be trained to identify customer complaints, securities, and customer funds that arrive by mail. This is a FINRA requirement, to ensure that those who handle incoming customer correspondence have passed a thorough background investigation by the firm and are properly trained. While the associate may be bonded by the credit union, s/he must still submit copies of their fingerprint cards with a portion of Form U-4 to Navy Federal Brokerage Services, LLC for FINRA registration as an associated person of the firm. Contact the NFBS Compliance Department for additional information.
3. Customers must be advised that investments sold by a Navy Federal Brokerage Services, LLC
A credit union is a nonprofit, member owned, money making cooperative whose members can borrow from pooled deposits at low interest rates. This is so important to communities for several reasons. Firstly, credit unions are much more personal to a community rather than stockholders or a corporate owned bank. Credit unions also provide lower interest rates for people whom may not be in the best situations. Lastly, a credit union helps a community grow bigger, better, and stronger.
The organization selected for analysis and evaluation is American Lake Credit Union. This organization is composed of two main branches, both located in Tacoma, Washington. In contrast to banks, Credit Unions are smaller organizations and are directed by members who are selected via a vote to serve in an all-volunteer board of directors for the organization (Scott, and Johnston, p.2, 2011). Specifically, this credit union was founded in 1948 and has grown since then. (C. Fitzer, personal communication April 7, 2014). For instance, although the organization is small in size through a partnership with a credit union network, it is able to provide general financial services at diverse locations

In 2012, I accepted a position at the Wisconsin Credit Union League (WCUL) as a Compliance Specialist. The WCUL (or “The League”) is a dues-supported trade association for Wisconsin credit unions that are cooperatively owned by more than 2.7 million members. The primary purpose of the organization is to serve Wisconsin credit unions by promoting the “credit union difference” through advocacy, education, and public service. However, The League also serves as a non-profit organization promoting the wellness of credit unions and the communities in which they serve. This includes, but is not limited to: promoting credit union development, educating credit union staff and volunteers, promoting financial literacy, and supporting the overall credit union system in times of need. Respectively, being employed on the profit-side of the organization is not only critical to The League, but the Wisconsin credit unions as well. It is my belief that maintaining an understanding of the organization and remaining committed to its overall mission and values (on both the profit and non-profit side) are essential for success.

I foresee a credit union of the future benefitting me time and time again. This is because life is a constant cycle of saving and spending money. No matter if I am saving for a small ticket item or a big ticket item, I need to have a secure place to do so. Credit unions are a terrific choice no matter the amount being saved. The reason a credit union is the way to go is that credit unions benefit the members who are saving money, unlike banks who focus on increasing profits in order to benefit the stockholders. I can use this knowledge to my benefit in the years to come. I, like many other high school seniors, am currently saving money for college. College is not an inexpensive endeavor so I need all the help I can get. By saving my money at
