Credit Union League Support

Fynanz, a financial technology leader that powers the cuStudentLoans private student loan program, has been chosen by CUNA, the largest and most premier national trade association for credit unions, as the exclusive partner providing private student loans. CUNA receives hundreds of applications annually from providers wanting to become a CUNA Strategic Services Partner but their extensive due diligence process only results in 2-3 new partners each year.

In addition to the CUNA partnership, credit union leagues representing 28 states and the District of Columbia have also chosen to support Fynanz and cuStudentLoans. The state credit union leagues announcing their support are: Arizona; Arkansas; California/Nevada; Idaho; Indiana; Kentucky; Louisiana; Massachusetts/New Hampshire/Rhode Island; Maryland (and D.C.); Maine; Minnesota; Mississippi; Montana; New Mexico; North Dakota/South Dakota; New Jersey; Oregon; South Carolina; Tennessee; Texas; Vermont; Washington; Wisconsin; and West Virginia.

"The broad support from the state leagues validates our selection of Fynanz as the sole provider of private student loans through CUNA Strategic Services. This additional collaboration at the state level reinforces our message nationwide that the cuStudentLoans program offers unique benefits to meet the needs of students," said Wes Millar, SVP with CUNA Strategic Services.

"The financial education component of the Fynanz program will appeal to many credit unions and schools. The in-school servicing model helps each participating student to develop good payment behavior and build a positive payment history,” said Sylvia Fath, SVP Business Services, California League Services Corporation.
