About Jeff Bassill

Jeff Bassill is the founder of CU Risk Advisors, bringing 45 years of banking industry experience to compliance support and tool development for community banks and credit unions.

Founder & Principal

In 1997, Jeff developed the original version of ExpressHold — a Regulation CC check hold calculator that has been in continuous use by community financial institutions for nearly 30 years. That tool, built because no reliable resource existed, is the foundation of CU Risk Advisors' approach.
