For credit unions, which typically offer better rates, fees and service than for-profit financial institutions, members recognize benefits in proportion to the extent of their financial transactions and general usage, says the Cornerstone Credit Union League on its website.

But how do credit unions measure the benefit of their membership?

Enter ROM, a comprehensive metric designed by Callahan & Associates that uses savings, lending, and product usage to quantify member value and assign a score to every credit union in the United States. Credit unions across the country use their ROM score to set member-facing goals and hold staff accountable to better serve members.
