How Many Credit Unions Sell Investments?
Kehrer Bielan estimates that the so-called “bank channel” consists of 1,932 banks that offer investment services. But banks’ cousin depository institutions – credit unions – also sell investments. 955 credit unions partner with the 11 largest 3
rd party broker dealers, about the same number reported in 2008. But the credit union industry is consolidating just like the banking industry, so the percentage of credit unions offering investment services has increased over the past 9 years, but not without some fits and starts.
Additional credit unions sell investments in partnership with smaller 3
rd party BDs, or local broker dealers or insurance agencies. Altogether there are over 1000 credit unions in the “bank” channel.
