Credit unions

Credit unions and caisses populaires are no strangers to market turbulence. Yet with each passing year, the pace of industry change seems to accelerate. To compete effectively, credit unions and caisses populaires must develop a strategy for consolidation. To meet mounting regulatory requirements, they need to refine their compliance processes. To win new members, innovation has become critical. And to enhance productivity, they require the ability to attract increasingly scarce talent.

Overcoming these challenges takes advance planning and a willingness to embrace change. With a solid history of serving the financial services industry, Deloitte’s dedicated team is uniquely positioned to help credit unions and caisses populaires thrive in an evolving business climate. Our local credit union teams across the country offer multidisciplinary solutions that range from audit, tax and compliance services to enterprise risk and financial advisory services.
