Credit Unions Editorial Team

Editorial Team

Background

PlainCU is a data journalism portal that profiles federally-insured US credit unions using public regulatory filings. The team draws from the NCUA 5300 Call Report, FFIEC, and CUDATA public releases to produce accessible financial intelligence. Content is compiled by our editorial team. The team maintains independence by not accepting payment from entities it covers. PlainCU provides informational analysis only, nothing on the site constitutes financial, investment, or banking advice (YMYL).

How to use this site

PlainCU publishes reference material, data-driven pages, and explanatory tools. Use the source information, assumptions, limitations, and methodology shown on the individual page to decide whether it fits your situation.

Published information can summarize source data or provide an estimate; it is not professional financial, medical, legal, or engineering advice. For an important decision, compare the relevant page with a primary source or a qualified professional.

How information is presented

Pages that present data or estimates identify the available source, method, and material limitations. Results can differ from real-world outcomes because inputs, rules, rates, rounding, data coverage, and individual circumstances vary.

The methodology page explains the site-level approach and limitations. Check the source information on the page you are using rather than treating site-wide wording as a substitute for the current source.

Feedback
