Third-Party Servicing of Indirect Vehicle Loans
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is issuing a final rule to regulate purchases by federally insured credit unions of indirect vehicle loans serviced by third-parties. The rule limits the aggregate amount of these loans serviced by any single third-party to a percentage of the credit union's net worth. The rule ensures that federally insured credit unions do not undertake undue risk with these purchases.
Filing Requirements for Suspicious Activity Reports
The proposed rule describes in greater detail the requirements for reporting and filing a Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) and addresses prompt notification of the board of directors of SAR filings, the confidentiality of reports, and liability protection. NCUA also proposes to change the heading for this part so it more accurately describes its scope. While retaining cross-references in the rule to the SAR form and instructions, these changes will enhance credit union compliance by providing greater detail in the rule on the thresholds and procedures for filing a SAR.
Organization and Operations of Federal Credit Unions
NCUA is amending its field of membership rules regarding service to underserved areas to limit underserved area additions to multiple common-bond credit unions and revise facility requirements for underserved areas. These amendments are being made after a comprehensive review of chartering policy based upon NCUA's experience addressing field of membership issues and the uncertainty resulting from recent litigation challenging service to underserved areas in Utah and the current ambiguity in the Federal Credit Union Act on this issue. This final rule will ensure continued reliable and efficient service to federal credit union members located in approved underserved areas and continue to allow multiple common-bond credit unions to add underserved areas to their charters. The final rule generally adopts the amendments as proposed. In addition, the final rule retains the definition of service facility as a credit union owned facility where shares are accepted for members' accounts, loan applications are accepted, and loans are disbursed.
Revisions to the Official Sign Indicating Insured Status
NCUA proposes to revise the official sign indicating a credit union's share accounts are insured by the NCUA to reflect recent share insurance increases and by including a statement that NCUA-insured share accounts are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States Government. This proposal is required to comply with the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (Reform Act) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Reform Conforming Amendments Act of 2005 (Conforming Amendments Act).
Conversion of Insured Credit Unions to Mutual Savings Banks
NCUA proposes to amend its rules regarding the conversion of insured credit unions to mutual savings banks or mutual savings associations. The proposed revisions are primarily intended to improve the information available to members and the board of directors as they consider a possible conversion. The revisions include revised disclosures, revised voting procedures, procedures to facilitate communications among members, and procedures for members to provide their comments to directors before the credit union board votes on a conversion plan.
