Alliance Between Fynanz, Inc. and CUNA Strategic Services

Just recently, CUNA Strategic Services and Fynanz, Inc created a new, important alliance. Their alliance is aimed to help credit unions to get into the private student loan market while assisting borrowers to finance their tuition and achieve their higher education goals.

As Wes Millar, senior vice president for CUNA Strategic Services explains it, “Fynanz provides the powerful combination of helping credit unions grow their loan portfolios and increase their reach into the high school and college demographic. The youth market is critical to credit unions’ growth.”

This is certainly an exciting alliance for Fynanz, Inc, where Brad Powers is on the Board, and CUNA Strategic Services.

Clark University Unique and Exciting


Clark University, where Brad Powers received his B.A. in psychology and his MBA from Clark’s Graduate School of Marketing, is located in Worcester, Massachusetts. Clark is a private research university as well as a liberal arts college, which was founded in 1887; it is the oldest educational institution in the United States founded as an all-graduate university. Today Clark University also has an undergraduate program, and along with Harvard and Yale Clark is one out of only three New England universities to be a founding member of the Association of American Universities.

One interesting fact about Clark University is that it is the second educational institution in the United States offering a Ph.D program. Another little known tidbit is that Clark’s geography department is the only North American geography program to actually have a mountain range named in its honor. Paul Siple the famous meteorologist, explorer and the inventor of the “wind chill factor”, and graduate of Clark’s geography program named the Clark Mountains of Antarctica and its peaks after his faculty instructors. Thus, within the Clark Mountains are the peaks Jones, Atwood, Burnham, Walter Elmer Ekblaw and Van Valkenburg.
