At CalQRisk, we understand the risk landscape that credit unions face daily.

In this mid-year update, we reflect on the key highlights from the first half of 2025.

Coffee Mornings: Peer-Led Insights
Our popular virtual Coffee Mornings are now a mainstay for sharing sector-specific challenges and best practices. Led by subscribers, these sessions create a valuable forum for collaboration and shared learning.
Growing Network Impact
As of June 2025, 65 credit unions across the network benefit from the CalQRisk Risk Advisory Service. This growing community is shaping how we deliver support, ensuring relevance, responsiveness, and results.
What’s Hot? Top Risk Topics
With credit unions increasingly exploring new services, we’ve seen a noticeable uptick in related risk queries—a trend that reflects sector innovation and evolving member expectations.
Risk Categories: Operational Risk Leads the Way
Operational risk remains the most discussed category among credit unions. Governance, credit, and market risks also feature prominently, but the emphasis on operational resilience is clear and consistent.
Designed to align with credit unions, financial services and not-for-profit organisations, RAS combines expert advice, sector‑specific insights and practical tools to help organisations manage risk with confidence and clarity.
