Capital Adequacy: The Complex Credit Union Leverage Ratio; Risk-Based Capital
Document Number: 2021-27644
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-12-23
Agency: National Credit Union Administration, Agencies and Commissions
This final rule provides a simplified measure of capital adequacy for federally insured, natural-person credit unions (credit unions) classified as complex (those with total assets greater than $500 million). Under the final rule, a complex credit union that maintains a minimum net worth ratio, and that meets other qualifying criteria, is eligible to opt into the complex credit union leverage ratio (CCULR) framework if they have a minimum net worth ratio of nine percent. A complex credit union that opts into the CCULR framework need not calculate a risk-based capital ratio under the NCUA Board's October 29, 2015 risk-based capital final rule, as amended on October 18, 2018. A qualifying complex credit union that opts into the CCULR framework and maintains the minimum net worth ratio is considered well capitalized. The final rule also makes several amendments to update the NCUA's October 29, 2015 risk-based capital final rule, including addressing asset securitizations issued by credit unions, clarifying the treatment of off-balance sheet exposures, deducting certain mortgage servicing assets from a complex credit union's risk-based capital numerator, revising the treatment of goodwill, and amending other asset risk weights.
Subordinated Debt
Document Number: 2021-27643
Type: Rule
Date: 2021-12-23
Agency: National Credit Union Administration, Agencies and Commissions
The NCUA Board (Board) is amending the Subordinated Debt rule, which the Board finalized in December 2020 with an effective date of January 1, 2022. This final rule amends the definition of ``Grandfathered Secondary Capital'' to include any secondary capital issued to the United States Government or one of its subdivisions (U.S. Government), under a secondary capital application approved before January 1, 2022, irrespective of the date of issuance. This amendment will benefit eligible low-income credit unions (LICUs) that are either participating in the U.S. Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) Emergency Capital Investment Program (ECIP) or other programs administered by the U.S. Government that can be used to fund secondary capital, if they do not receive the funds for such programs by December 31, 2021. The Board is also amending the Subordinated Debt rule by extending the expiration of regulatory capital treatment for the aforementioned secondary capital issuances to the later of 20 years from the date of issuance or January 1, 2042.

Under the final rule, FCUs with a CAMEL or CAMELS composite rating of 1 or 2 and a CAMEL or CAMELS Management component rating of 1 or 2, may purchase the mortgage servicing rights of loans that the FCU is otherwise empowered to grant, provided these purchases are made in accordance with the FCU's policies and procedures that address the risk of these investments and servicing practices.
