The Mission & CU Opportunity
Helping victims of domestic violence break the chains of control, while building financial independence.
The Problem.
98% of all domestic abuse includes financial abuse. This is a major barrier to leaving an abusive relationship. Survivors endure job loss, credit damage, and total financial control, making freedom seem impossible. Sadly, your community (and possibly even your credit union) has far too many people in this situation.
CU SAFE is a CUSO-powered initiative that aligns technology and empathy (we call it “tempathy”) to break this cycle and deliver freedom and financial wellness.
Become A CU “SafePod”
Embracing lending, your amazing team, and the SAFEPATH suite of products, you can provide a hand-up, not a hand-out, and truly make a difference in lives. Already a CDFI or low-income designated institution? These open up even more paths to empowerment.
Each piece of the CU SAFEPATH helps build brighter tomorrows, while enhancing member loyalty, engagement, and revenues.
Looking for a national pathway to membership? With an NCUA-approved Associational Common Bond, you can build support for your SafePod while welcoming members from the entire country.
