A wealth of valuable peer data and performance improvement information not available anywhere else!

The Cornerstone Report: Benchmarks and Best Practices for Credit Unions presents the results of a detailed survey of credit unions with $350 million and more in assets and includes over 250 productivity and staffing benchmarks in 10 key credit union areas:

  • Retail Banking
  • Deposit Operations
  • Consumer Lending
  • Mortgage Lending
  • Business Services
  • Loan Operations and Collections
  • Enterprise Risk Management
  • Wealth Management
  • Corporate Administration
  • Information Technology

About the Study

In follow-up to The Cornerstone Report 2006: Benchmarks and Best Practices for Credit Unions, our second study of credit unions for credit unions will employ a survey similar to that used for our 2006 study, which was modeled after the one used for the highly respected Cornerstone Report: Benchmarks and Best Practices for Mid-Size Banks.

The result is an indispensable resource that can help you answer these and many other critical questions:

  • How many employees should we have in this function and what type of performance benchmarks should we use to measure success?
  • What successes – and challenges – are credit unions facing with alternative delivery channels like Internet banking, call center and ATM?
  • What percentage of credit unions has deployed a particular new technology?
  • How much are peer credit unions spending on training?
  • Where are they concentrating their investment?
  • What are peer credit unions outsourcing and how much are they spending?

By providing the most accurate and in-depth benchmarking data and best practice information available in the industry, The Cornerstone Report can potentially identify millions of dollars of process improvements and cost savings for large credit unions.
