CUNA calls on credit unions to share concerns about interchange bill
CUNA on Tuesday called on credit unions to share their concerns with the interchange bill introduced by Sens. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Roger Marshall (R-Kan.).

Credit union advocates can send a pre-drafted message to their legislators through the CUNA Grassroots Action Center.
