Who can approve loans and how to appeal a denial

This section lets a credit union's board choose loan officers to approve or reject loan applications, following written rules. Loan officers must report their decisions within seven days. If your loan is turned down, you can appeal to the credit committee, credit manager, or board as the bylaws say.
