“Ironworkers USA Federal Credit Union have been working with Scott Butterfield, Your Credit Union Partner, since 2010. We have relied on Scott and his team’s credit union passion and experience to help mentor the credit union through some difficult times. Not only do they do an excellent job, but they are also great to work with. They take the time to really understand our needs and the needs of our Credit Union. I have used Your Credit Union Partner for many consulting services including grant writing/management, charter change, budgeting and strategic planning sessions with my Board of Directors and Supervisory Committee. The feedback and level of engagement from my Board after a session with Scott is tremendous. It is apparent their work they truly value and support the Credit Union movement and they have passion for helping ALL size credit unions and seeing we all survive. I will never use anyone else!”

“It has been a pleasure working with Scott and Alison at Your Credit Union Partner. Navigating through the complicated CDFI process can be overwhelming for any professional who is new to this space and YCUP helped ease the burden through their wealth of knowledge and assistance.”

“It has been a pleasure working with Scott and Alison at Your Credit Union Partner. Navigating through the complicated CDFI process can be overwhelming for any professional who is new to this space and YCUP helped ease the burden through their wealth of knowledge and assistance. They supported our credit union by providing background on what potential opportunities exist if you become a CDFI certified credit union, including presenting to our Board and Leadership team. Their individualized approach helped us tell our story of the work we are doing in our community and they supported us with the grant writing process, helping us achieve our first ever NCUA grant. We appreciate their passion for helping credit unions across the country live out the mission of people helping people”

“The team at Your CU Partner has been incredible to work with during our strategic planning sessions. I have been very pleased with the dedication to the credit union movement and the overall desire to keep us focused on our vision. Scott brings a wealth of information on the industry and a understanding of why credit union’s exist which truly enables dialogue. The credit union benefited from being challenged to define itself and the respective goals based on defined purpose of “Financially Empowering Members of the Creative Community.” It is fair to say that Your CU Partner endeavors to create lasting partnerships that are designed to enable growth and development for a credit union.”

“I met Scott and Alison at the CUNA GAC in 2019 through our mutual friend, Bo McDonald of YMC. What I immediately loved about them is that they are very down to Earth and relatable people; the conversations were easy and deeper than typical vendor conversations.”

“I met Scott and Alison at the CUNA GAC in 2019 through our mutual friend, Bo McDonald of YMC. What I immediately loved about them is that they are very down to Earth and relatable people; the conversations were easy and deeper than typical vendor conversations. I met them knowing they were rock stars in the credit union space, yet there were no egos in the room. We were just people who love serving credit union members. That initial feeling has never changed. It was an easy decision to partner with Scott and his team when we chose to become a CDFI. There was an ease and comfort in dealing with them. Our team at YCUP, Scott, Alison, and Alejandra, have been great to work with in both obtaining CDFI certification and in the grant and reporting process. I rely on their expertise and their no-nonsense approach to answering my questions (at times many questions!). I appreciate that they truly believe in the work they are doing and it shines brightly in how they serve us and our peers. I, and my credit union, are blessed with this partnership.”
