The S.2231 vote is near: We need your help!

• 

Credit unions have been making member business loans since their inception in the early 1900s. For many years, Hutchinson Credit Union has been making responsible loans to local businesses. In 1998, Congress placed an arbitrary lending cap on credit union business lending of 12.25% of assets as part of a political compromise demanded by the banking industry. In the first 90 years of existence, there was no such cap.

We've been held back by this cap ever since, having to limit our local business lending and investment in the Central Kansas area.

HCU needs your help with pending senate legislation

Why let the government limit who you do business with?
Credit unions are sitting on billions of dollars we could be responsibly lending to small businesses, if only Congress would repeal the arbitrary regulation that stops us from doing it.

Important Local Fraud Alert

• 

Members are reporting that they are receiving a fraudulent text message that goes something like “This is a credit union center notice. Your card has been de-activated. Please contact us at 620-314-xxxx”. We at HCU have tried calling the number. The voice states it is a credit union activation service, asks for your credit card number, captures it, and then hangs up. By the length of time it takes to connect, our guess is that it is forwarding to an out of state or out of country destination.
