2 CUNA, Coopera, Federation Partnership Objective: Collectively leverage our capabilities, knowledge and resources to bring CUs information and tools to reach and serve emerging communities CCU&G Conference: NEW Emerging Markets Educational Track Coopera Our Mission: To partner with people, businesses and communities for new economic opportunity Our Founder: Warren Morrow sought to provide dignified financial services to Hispanics through credit unions We help your credit union grow by reaching and serving the Hispanic community We are owned by Affiliates Management Company, holding company of the Iowa Credit Union League We are a CUNA exclusive alliance partner 2
3 The Federation Certified CDFI Intermediary, representing more than 250 community development credit unions (CDCUs) Member CDCUs provide credit, savings, transaction services and financial education to more than 2.2 million residents of low-income urban, rural and reservation-based communities across the U.S., and hold over $15 billion in community-controlled assets The Federation offers a wide range of advocacy, educational, training, investment, marketing, and outreach programs to support and assist CDCUs The Opportunity Scott Butterfield, The Federation 3
4 Food for Thought According to the January 2013 CUNA Mutual Group Credit Union Trend Report: Loan growth: 46 percent (3,191 CUs) reported loan portfolio declines in Its great news that overall credit union growth was up in 2012, but the sad reality is that 514 of the largest credit unions accounted for 80 percent of the 2012 loan growth. Membership growth: Roughly 50 percent (3,511 CUs) reported membership declines in Approximately 81 percent of the membership gains came from the 400 largest credit unions. Small credit union challenges: Small credit unions make up the majority of our number. As of December 2012, there were 4,694 credit unions with assets less than $50 million. These credit unions will continue to face challenges that larger credit unions won t. Teams with limited resources will need to stretch, doing more with less. Opportunities for Growth and Relevance Today, tens of millions of consumers need a financial bridge that connects to affordable access to credit and the path to a better quality of life. Each plank on the bridge represents a single step: financial education, skill development, credit repair, regular savings, and better financial management. 4
5 Emerging Markets Good Fit for CUs CUs traditional membership reaching saturation point. Slow membership growth / aging membership Serving people of small means, core CU value Financial services vacuum: banks focused on middle market. AFS providers: high cost solution Business opportunity: emerging markets = need for affordable financial services. Also less price sensitive than established markets LID CUs: Leading the Way NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz LID credit unions are "lending more than other types of financial institutions and growing stronger". She also noted that LICUs are "national trendsetters" and that the collective success of low-income credit unions demonstrates that credit unions can do well while serving people of modest means. 5
6 LID CUs: Leading the Way As a group, LICUs led the nation in lending throughout the recession of , as well as the steady recovery of recent years. Between December 2007 and March 2012, low-income credit unions expanded loans by $11 billion (57.6%). During the same time period, the entire credit union industry expanded loans by $45 billion (8.6%), while banks and thrifts decreased loans by approximately $500 billion (6.3%).

13 The Building Blocks Pablo DeFilippi, The Federation The Building Blocks Building blocks for developing a sustainable community development strategy: Low Income Designation (Regulatory tools) + CDFI Certification (Access to external resources) + CDCU (Specialized Expertise + Partnerships) = Sustainable Growth and Community Impact 13
14 Low Income Designation NCUA LID Criteria More than half of a credit union s members live in census tracts that have a median family income below 80% of the Area Median Family Income (AMFI) or individual income less than 80% of Area Median Income (AMI) for a single individual. 14
15 Low-Income Designated CUs 1,961 LICUs as of 7/31/13 (2/3 FCUs) $157.6 billion in combined assets Serving 17.8 million consumers Hundreds of state chartered CUs might be eligible 70% of LICUs have assets below $50 million. Roughly 40% of all credit unions could be low income designated. LID good for 5 years. Critical to measure benchmark on a yearly basis 15
