Welcome to 2023 Year-End Processing
Bulletin #1: Year-End Kickoff
REMINDER: We are no longer mailing paper copies of the year-end processing guide to your credit union! Keep an eye on Client News and these bulletins for important information, vendor updates, deadline changes, reminders, and more.
Updates and Information
October 3rd, 2023
Right now, our teams are analyzing the IRS publications, reviewing vendor timelines, and refreshing the processing guides for this year. We do not anticipate any large changes to member processing based on our initial review. Once the processing guides are published and have been made available online, your next bulletin will arrive with relevant updates and tasks.
