Fifty-Five Tennessee Credit Union Professionals Become Certified Credit Union Financial Counselors in 2022

Congratulations to all of the newly Certified Credit Union Financial Counselors in Tennessee! They are now part of a nationwide community of credit union professionals who took the initiative to achieve proficiency in financial counseling. This designation represents their dedication to bettering the lives of their members.

In 2022, 55 credit union staff obtained their Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor designation (CCUFC). Twelve of which participated in the Tennessee League’s very own Enhanced Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP).

The Tennessee League’s FiCEP program enables all credit union staff to become more confident in helping members build a stronger financial future. The program is designed for credit union staff who work in the financial counseling, collections, and loan departments, or any other staff members who are committed to helping members gain control of their financial future.

Modeled after the CUNA Certified Financial Counselor Schools, FiCEP includes two parts of four learning modules each. Each participant who successfully completes the proctored exam for both parts is granted the Credit Union Certified Financial Counselor (CUCFC) designation and is ready and able to assist your members in reaching their financial goals.
