Credit unions challenge broken student loan system with revolutionary line of credit approach

In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady delves into a transformative development in the student loan sector, highlighting how credit unions are challenging the traditional student loan system with a revolutionary line of credit approach. CU Student Choice, a credit union-owned organization, has announced expanded access to its flexible education line of credit product.
