NASHVILLE, TN–

VolCorp recently hosted Congressman Jim Cooper for a tour of the VolCorp facility, which included a hands-on demonstration of VolCorp’s Item Processing operation. Bruce Fahnestock, President & CEO of VolCorp, presented Congressman Cooper with an overview of the strategic mission of VolCorp in providing wholesale financial services to our member credit unions which ultimately helps individual credit union members.

Representative Cooper acknowledged the partnership between corporate credit unions and their member credit unions as another example of the cooperative spirit in the credit union industry in providing low cost financial services to individual members.

After the tour, Congressman Cooper participated in a round table discussion with several credit union managers. Topics discussed included how credit unions are reaching out to serve the underserved in their community and providing affordable financial services to the Spanish-speaking population of the area.
