Follow Cedar Valley Credit Union through the whole book.
Cedar Valley Credit Union serves 85,000 members across Iowa. Its personal loan process takes an average of 12 days from application to funds, while online lenders answer within a day. Staff work hard, but files bounce between branches, underwriting and operations, and many applications are returned for missing documents. Operations director Brian Keller leads an improvement programme. The handbook follows it for a year.
