The Summit underscored the strength of North Dakota’s credit union community and its commitment to innovation, security, and sound governance. Thank you to all who participated!

The Department issues a monthly bulletin which details applications received and their status, including any action by the State Banking Board or the State Credit Union Board. The monthly bulletin is an effort to keep North Dakota citizens and other interested parties apprised of actions and activities conducted by our state-chartered financial institutions. They are located on our website at https://www.nd.gov/dfi/news-and-publications/department-bulletins.
