Marlborough, MA – The Cooperative Credit Union Association (CCUA) announces a strategic partnership with LEVERAGE, a service organization aligned with The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates, to provide member credit unions with enhanced employee benefits solutions, along with expanded accounting, financial management, compliance, and audit services.
Through this collaboration, CCUA member credit unions gain access to a suite of services designed to improve efficiency and support growth. A key component of the partnership is LEVERAGE Benefits Group, which offers comprehensive employee benefits consulting, administration, and consolidated invoicing-helping simplify processes while delivering more flexible and competitive options for employees.
Additional offerings include AUX Accounting and CFO Services, providing support ranging from daily processing and reconciliations to financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and asset-liability management. These services give credit unions access to experienced financial professionals and strategic guidance without the need for a full-time, in-house team.
The partnership also includes audit solutions through The Credit Union Audit Group, offering services such as supervisory committee audits, BSA audits, ACH audits, and member account verification, all tailored specifically for credit unions.
Building on these operational and financial support offerings, the partnership also gives CCUA member credit unions access to a range of compliance and risk management solutions. Through LEVERAGE, credit unions can take advantage of tailored compliance support, vendor management resources, and cybersecurity solutions designed to help navigate evolving regulatory requirements while strengthening operational resilience.
