Puerto Rico and New York Meet Again


Representatives Amy Kramer, Tracy Conner, Juan Fernandez, Kim McCumber, Jennifer Montena, and Mike Lanotte from the New York State Credit Union League (NYSCUL) and its affiliate COVERA visited San Juan last week to participate in several meetings aimed at furthering cooperation between Puerto Rico credit unions and the New York State Credit Union League. Victor Corro, WOCCU's international partnership manager accompanied the group.

While on the island, the New York representatives visited Caribe Federal, Jesus Obrero and Abraham Rosa credit unions.

On August 17 more than 40 participants from credit unions from the island participated in a session that explained the benefits of membership at NYSCUL and the services that COVERA provides. As they operate in a U.S. territory, credit unions in Puerto Rico must comply with federal regulations, this is the main focus of the partnership.
