Strengthening Credit Unions Behind the Scenes
Some of the most meaningful contributions to the credit union movement happen behind the scenes. Steve Willis, President of LEVERAGE, has built his career around making those contributions count.

As President of LEVERAGE, the service corporation for The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates, Steve leads a growing portfolio of companies and strategic partnerships that provide credit unions with practical solutions, specialized expertise and greater access to resources. Under his leadership, LEVERAGE supports credit unions across Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Virginia and nationwide.

Steve's approach is grounded in a simple goal: help credit unions operate more efficiently, strengthen financial performance and better serve their members. Under his leadership, LEVERAGE provides the products and services credit unions rely on to operate and grow while generating revenue that helps offset League dues, making membership more affordable for credit unions of all sizes.

Steve and his team identify emerging needs, evaluate solutions, build strategic partnerships and use the collective strength of the credit union system to create value for institutions of all sizes.

His leadership reflects the cooperative spirit at the heart of the movement. Rather than seeking the spotlight, Steve focuses on building the relationships and resources that help credit unions succeed.

That is the true spirit of an unsung hero: doing the work that strengthens the entire movement, often without recognition, and creating opportunities for others to thrive.
