Some of the occurrences regarding the financial services industry have made many of us question the ethics and practices of all financial institutions. Please see below a message from Luis Pastor, CEO of the Latino Community Credit Union: Recent events in the financial services industry help to underscore the importance of the LCCU and the Credit Union difference. At LCCU, we are proud to put our members first. Our staff reflects our membership and has their best interests at heart, spending the time necessary to ensure that members understand our products and services. We work to meet the needs of members and their families as they work to improve their financial futures. In contrast to some other financial institutions’ employees, our staff is salaried and never work on commission, preventing incentives that are not aligned with the best interests of the member. Our cooperative structure helps ensure that we work in the best interest of our member-owners. Every decision we make underscores our belief in economic opportunity for all – it’s that simple.
