The webpage includes information on a streamlined application process OSCUI developed with the CDFI Fund.
The Office of Small Credit Union Initiatives fosters credit union development and the effective delivery of financial services for small credit unions, new credit unions, minority depository institutions and credit unions with a low-income designation.
