Blau and Bentley offered an overview of the Commonwealth's credit unions, noting credit unions' focus on financial education and the financial well-being of their members.

They also noted how current economic conditions are affecting credit union members, with rising interest rates making credit more expensive and inflation spurring rising credit card balances. Consolidation within the financial services industry was also discussed.

Gov. Youngkin thanked credit unions for their service to members and noted the important role credit unions play in the financial services marketplace.
