Featured Product
Policy Creation
League consultants can help your credit union stay up-to-date with policy requirements. Our top priority is to make sure that core policies examiners look for are updated and in use. We can also evaluate your current business and identify any missing or incomplete policies and help you bring things up to date. Using CU PolicyPro, we have access to more than 200 model policies and regulatory guidelines that can be customized specifically for your credit union and stored securely so that you can always find the information you need and use it quickly. Pricing is based on the complexity of the policy and the development time required.
 
To learn more about filling in your policy gaps with assistance from the League, contact Senior Consultant Tim Pierce .
VOYA Group Benefits
Now is the time of year most credit unions review their group benefit programs. Even if your credit union does not offer core benefits through Servicecorp, you can still take advantage of a new opportunity to offer three types of voluntary, employee-paid insurance products through Servicecorp’s partnership with VOYA. VOYA’s Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity plans pay cash benefits to help with expenses when employees need them the most. These plans are guarantee-issue, there are no minimum participation requirements, and the rates are guaranteed for three years. All active employees working more than 20 hours a week are eligible for these plans, which go into effect January 1, 2020.
 

If you are interested in offering these products to your employees or if you would like to learn more about Servicecorp’s group benefits, contact Diana Arnold at dianaa@servicecorp.com or (800)285-5300, ext. 5359.
