MCUL/CUcorp 2005:
Financial Report and Statistics 

The Michigan Credit Union League (MCUL) and its wholly owned, for-profit subsidiary, CUcorp, both exist to help credit unions grow, thrive and meet the needs of their members. The fact that MCUL and CUcorp are separate entities reflects existing tax laws and the need to account for tax-exempt transactions separately from taxable transactions.

MCUL/CUcorp financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis reflecting the manner in which credit unions are actually served by their League. The charts and financial information below consolidate the financial activities of both MCUL and CUcorp.
