Few people can truly understand the challenges and opportunities facing your organization than peer supervisors from another jurisdiction.  Take advantage of the wealth of experience that the International Credit Union Regulators' Network ICURN brings by commissioning a peer review assessment of your organization’s supervision of financial cooperatives/ microfinance institutions.


​Examples of peer reviews completed by ICURN:

  • Cooperative Bank Development Agency in South Africa (2017)
  • Central Bank of Ireland (2015, 2019 and 2023)
