49 credit union professionals earn CCUFC designation

Congratulations to the 49 credit union professionals in the Cornerstone region who recently completed the 2022 Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor program. These pros join the ranks of more than 600 CCUFCs.

The Cornerstone Foundation offers the Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP) to credit union staff each year. This enhanced and unique training program combines the convenience of self-study with hands-on learning and additional resources. Students earn their CCUFC credentials while learning the skills and knowledge necessary to assist and empower members to improve their financial well-being.

“I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all of your help throughout the certification process,” said PrimeWay Retail Center Manager Jonathan Ebizie about the help he received from the Foundation. “I can happily say that all three of us at PrimeWay passed the test, and we are excited to use this knowledge to better serve our members. Couldn’t have done it without your support and guidance!”
