Ohio Credit Unions Share Affordability Agenda with Gubernatorial Candidates, Offer to Work with Future Governor to Bring Costs Down

Today, Ohio credit unions sent letters to both of Ohio’s major gubernatorial candidates sharing an Affordability Agenda to help lower costs and put more money in the pockets of Ohioans at a time when too many families are struggling to make ends meet. The Ohio credit unions that signed the letter represent the Advocacy Action Committee of the Ohio Credit Union League and credit union members from all corners of Ohio.
 
In the letters, Ohio credit unions offered to work directly with the future Governor of Ohio and their Administration to make life more affordable for Ohioans and their families.
 
“As not-for-profit, member-owned financial institutions, Ohio credit unions are uniquely positioned to help make life more affordable for Ohioans and help them keep more of their hard-earned money in their own pockets. And right now, as you know well, too many Ohioans are struggling to make ends meet,” wrote Ohio credit union leaders in the letter.
 
The Affordability Agenda includes five key components:
 
1.         More Affordable Housing
2.         Lower and Fewer Fees
3.         Reinvestment in Ohio Communities
4.         People-Driven Financial Services
5.         Focus on Financial Literacy
 
Ohio Credit Unions, which serve as member-owned, not-for-profit financial institutions for more than 3.3 million Ohioans, are focused on helping Ohioans meet their financial goals and their financial well-being. Unlike other financial institutions, Ohio credit unions emphasize people over profits.
