Press Room

By cultivating stronger relationships with media in Alabama and Florida and engaging local, state, and national media outlets, we highlight the good works of credit unions by placing them in the spotlight as consumer-friendly financial institutions working to assist their members and the communities in which they serve.

In turn, we want to be a resource to credit unions in need of media assistance such as talking points on specific subject matter or tips for speaking with the media. Check here for credit union stories, LSCU press releases, and resources such as media tips and talking points on hot topics.
