The Utah Bankers Association has made an $11,000 grant to help, of all things, a tiny credit union. The UBA donated the funds to the $861,000 UCB CU, which serves the blind and visually impaired in Utah. The credit union has 250 members and says it will use the funds to pay for a new computer system, printer and office supplies. Credit unions in the state have also come to the assistance of UCB CU in the past, including the Utah league and America First CU, which donated all of UCB CU's fireproof cabinets.
