Why Your Affiliation Matters
Michigan’s credit union movement is 174 strong, serving over 6 million members — and together, we’re unstoppable. Through MCUL affiliation, Michigan’s voice carries from Lansing to Washington, protecting our tax status, advancing inclusion and shaping policy. You gain powerful advocacy, expert compliance support and top-tier education and networking that fuel growth, innovation and leadership statewide.
Thank you for your support of the Michigan Credit Union League in 2025. This past year showed us the difference we can make when we move as one — whether through advocacy wins, education opportunities or fundraising efforts that strengthen our collective voice.
In 2025, credit unions faced serious challenges, including threats to the federal tax status. By standing together, Michigan credit unions and our national partners protected the movement and demonstrated the power of collective advocacy.
As we look to next year, our priority remains ensuring Michigan credit unions are protected, promoted and well-positioned to meet their members’ needs. With America’s Credit Unions, we will continue to ensure Michigan credit unions are well represented at the state and federal levels, while delivering the resources you count on to operate effectively.
