A Team of Experts Who Deliver Results

CrossState Compliance Consultants offer a cost-effective and convenient solution to help your credit union navigate the ever-evolving regulatory compliance requirements. Recognizing the individuality of each credit union, we tailor our programs to meet your distinct needs.

Compliance Services is particularly helpful for credit unions without dedicated compliance staff, as well as to assist busy CEOs or compliance staff. No matter what the reason, your compliance program will benefit from our Compliance Consultants’  years of training and experience working in credit union compliance. Our Compliance Officers are CUNA-certified as both BSA Compliance Specialists, as well as a Credit Union Compliance Experts (CUCE).

Service From Trusted Consultants

The compliance services process begins by meeting with the CEO or designated staff to determine which compliance projects need immediate attention. Together, you’ll determine how you can best address those needs. Compliance Consultants can help your credit union implement a comprehensive compliance program, or simply address a specific compliance need. Support can be a combination of in-person meetings, telephone, or email support. 

Typical components of an enterprise-wide compliance program includes:

  • Comprehensive review of existing policies and procedures for compliance 
  • Provide additional policies and procedures for compliance 
  • Training staff to use online compliance tools such as InfoSight and CU PolicyPro 
  • Assistance with satisfying Examiner Findings
  • Regulatory Required Training for Staff and Volunteers
