From the Ukraine to Ireland and Dominica, this podcast travels the globe with Mike Reuter, executive director of the Worldwide Foundation for Credit Unions, as he shares stories of the challenges faced by credit unions and also the generous willingness of other credit unions executives to help. Exhibit one may be the rebuilding of the Dominica credit union sector after that island's economy was flattened in a 2017 hurricane. Credit union execs want to help and they do.
You may think credit unions don't know that they are in fact cooperatives. I know I think exactly that often and it is frustrating because the nation's 5000 credit unions could do a lot to advance the whole cooperative movement.
It turns out however that, per Reuter, credit unions in fact do a lot of cooperating. He tells that story in this podcast.
