    The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is proposing changes to the regulations governing Credit Union Service Organizations (CUSOs). The proposed rule aims to expand the types of loans CUSOs can originate to match any loan that a Federal credit union (FCU) may offer, giving credit unions more flexibility in their operations. Additionally, the rule seeks to broaden the investment power of FCUs in CUSOs, potentially allowing investment in organizations that serve the broader financial community, not just credit unions. The NCUA invites public comments on these proposals, which aim to enhance credit union competitiveness and cooperative efforts.

    Simple Explanation

    The NCUA wants to let special credit union helpers, called CUSOs, make all kinds of loans just like regular credit unions do, and they're asking people what they think about it. They also want credit unions to be able to invest more in these helpers to work better and be more competitive.

    The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is updating its rules to increase the maximum civil monetary penalties to keep up with inflation, as required by several laws. These adjustments are made to ensure that penalties are effective and reflect current economic conditions. The adjustments will be effective immediately and apply to violations occurring from November 2, 2015, onwards. This rule change doesn't require public comment because it's mainly a technical update in line with legal requirements.

    Simple Explanation

    The NCUA is making the fines they can give bigger to keep up with how money changes over time, like when things get more expensive. They didn't ask anyone for ideas on this because it's just a routine update they have to do.

    The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) proposes changes to credit union rules to make it easier for federal credit unions to expand and serve more groups and underserved areas. They want to count shared branches, ATMs, and electronic facilities in certain networks as "service facilities," even if the credit union doesn't own them. This would help credit unions offer more services without needing to buy into a shared network. The NCUA is also considering whether online banking should count as a service facility to accommodate modern trends in financial services.

    Simple Explanation

    The NCUA wants to let credit unions use shared spaces like banks and online tools, even if they don't own them, so they can help more people. They're still thinking about how this might make it easier or harder for big and small credit unions to work.

    The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) plans to submit an information collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as part of their compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This request concerns the regulation for Liquidity and Contingency Funding Plans, which is intended to ensure that federally insured credit unions manage liquidity risks effectively. The NCUA's rule, codified in 12 CFR 741.12, creates a tiered system based on asset size that requires various levels of planning and preparation among credit unions. Public comments on this submission are welcome until March 15, 2021.

    Simple Explanation

    The NCUA wants to make sure that credit unions have plans ready for when they need money quickly, and they're asking for permission to collect information to check if credit unions are prepared. They invite people to share their thoughts about this plan by March 15, 2021.

    The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is proposing a new rule to update the overdraft policy requirements for federal credit unions. This rule aims to remove the current 45-day limit for members to resolve overdrafts and instead require that the policy sets a reasonable and universally applicable time frame. This change is intended to provide more flexibility for credit unions and their members, especially considering the impacts of COVID-19. The proposal also introduces a cross-reference to Regulation E to ensure compliance with existing federal requirements for overdraft services.

    Simple Explanation

    The NCUA wants to change a rule for credit unions that helps people if they spend too much money and go negative in their account. Instead of giving everyone the same short time to fix it, they want credit unions to decide on a fair amount of time that works for everyone.

    The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board finalized a new rule allowing certain credit unions to issue subordinated debt to boost their regulatory capital. This rule primarily affects low-income designated credit unions, complex credit unions, and new credit unions. The final rule outlines several requirements such as amending the definition of "Accredited Investor," setting disclosure guidelines, and reviewing credit unions' applications to issue subordinated debt. Additionally, it includes changes aiming to safeguard both the credit unions and the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund (NCUSIF) from increased financial risk.

    Simple Explanation

    Imagine if a special group of piggy banks could borrow extra pennies from big kids to help them grow stronger and safer, but there are lots of rules to make sure everything stays fair and safe. That's what some credit unions (like special banks) are now allowed to do with grown-up money, but they need to follow these rules for everything to be okay.
