Episode 41: A Conversation with New WOCCU Board Chair Michael Lawrence

  • Summary

  • This month on the Global Credit Union Podcast, Michael Lawrence joins us to discuss his new role as Chair of the World Council of Credit Unions' Board of Directors.

    Lawrence is the Chief Executive Officer of the Customer Owned Banking Association (COBA), the industry body for Australia’s credit unions, building societies and mutual banks, a position he's served in since December 2017.

    He became a WOCCU Director in April 2018, and was elected to serve as Chair of the Board in 2024.

    Lawrence has over 30 years experience in financial services, primarily gained with AMP Bank and National Australia Bank.

    Michael discusses why he believes WOCCU's biggest asset is its strength in membership, especially when it comes to advocating for credit unions in front of international financial standard setting bodies, such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
