Learn more about Pearl Meyer’s expertise creating effective compensation strategies for credit unions.

Tying Organizational Performance to Pay

"Where there is a desire to link compensation to achievement of the credit union's strategy, properly designed long-term incentive plans can make a difference."

How We Partner with Credit Unions

The credit union (CU) industry has undergone rapid growth as many institutions are effectively competing with traditional commercial banks by providing similar, lower-cost, member-focused services. Extensive M&A activity is also impacting industry expansion. With this growth comes added complexity as CUs become full service financial institutions operating in broader geographies and serving more diverse populations.

Pearl Meyer’s experience as trusted compensation advisors to boards and management in both the credit union and banking industries brings the in-depth knowledge and expertise necessary to help you achieve your long-term goals. We partner with you to build strong leadership teams and create pay-for-performance alignment to deliver value to all stakeholders.

We Have the Compensation Data You Need

The survey provides information on the CEO and 27 senior executive-level positions.
