28 Montana CU Professionals Earn CCUFC Designation

HELENA, Mont.–Twenty credit union professionals from eight credit unions across Montana have received their Certified Credit Union Financial Counselor (CCUFC) designation by completing the Enhanced Financial Counseling Certification Program (FiCEP) through Montana’s Credit Unions, the state’s trade association.
