Through independent research and innovation, the Filene Research Institute explores issues vital to the future of credit unions and consumer finance.


Filene's Ideas Grow Here

  1. Lunch with Ed

    Edward Filene – ‘Ed’ as we affectionately call him around here – is the spiritual grandfather of American credit unions. Even though we named a research institute after him, he didn’t respond to our invitation for lunch. So we’re bringing his bust instead.

    We're annoyed by questions like this too, but we're even more annoyed by spam (except the yummy canned kind).
