Founded in 1965, the National Association of State Credit Union Supervisors (NASCUS) is the only organization dedicated exclusively to defending and advancing a strong state credit union system. NASCUS is unique in that state regulatory agencies and state credit unions are members. NASCUS advocates with federal policy makers and other influencers, including the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), other federal agencies, Congress, and the White House. These entities seek out NASCUS' input and view NASCUS as a respected source for information and advice on policies affecting the state credit union system.
