This is why NCUA should have approved a rule allowing Federal Credit Unions to grant loans up to 21%.Per NCUA:Board approval to maintain the current temporary 18 percent interest rate ceiling, for loans made by federal credit unions (FCUs), for a new eighteen-month period from March 11, 2023, through September 10, 2024. 12 USC §1757(5)(A)(vi)(I). Notwithstanding this action, nothing in the Federal Credit Union Act precludes the NCUA Board from acting on the 18 percent interest rate ceiling earlier than 18 months.The Federal Credit Union Act, 12 USC §1757(5)(A)(vi)(I), requires the NCUA to consult with the following external parties before establishing an interest rate ceiling above 15 percent: the appropriate committees of Congress, the Department of the Treasury, and the Federal financial institution regulatory agencies. The agency has received letters from the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs and the Department of Treasury in support of maintaining the loan rate ceiling at 18 percent.If the Board does not take action before March 11, 2023, to renew a maximum loan interest rate ceiling of greater than 15 percent, the maximum FCU loan interest rate ceiling will revert to the statutory level of 15 percent, including rates on Payday Alternative Loans. 1 In accordance with the requirements set forth in 12 U.S.C. §1757(5)(A)(vi)(I), staff analyzed recent market and financial conditions to advise the Board whether it should continue to establish a maximum interest rate ceiling for loans made by FCUs that exceeds the 15 percent limit established in the Federal Credit Union Act. Specifically, §1757(5)(A)(vi)(I) provides that: [T]he rate of interest may not exceed 15 per centum per annum on the unpaid balance inclusive of all finance charges, except that the Board may establish, after consultation with the appropriate committees of the Congress, the Department of Treasury, and the Federal financial institution regulatory agencies, an interest rate ceiling exceeding such 15 per centum per annum rate, for periods not to exceed 18 months, if it determines that money market interest rates have risen over the preceding six-month period and that prevailing interest rate levels threaten the safety and soundness of individual credit unions as evidenced by adverse trends in liquidity, capital, earnings, and growth. Staff concludes that the two statutory conditions have been met. Money market rates have risen over the preceding six-month period and lowering the interest rate ceiling below the current temporary 18 percent maximum would threaten the safety and soundness of individual credit unions due to the anticipated adverse effects upon liquidity, capital, earnings, and growth. Staff has determined that a significant number of FCUs would be adversely affected absent a Board action to sustain a maximum FCU loan interest rate ceiling at 18 percent. There are 2,177 FCUs that hold over $24 billion in loan balances with rates above 15 percent. Of those 2,177 FCUs, 877 FCUs have loan balances of $21.0 billion with average rates greater than 17 percent. Staff recommends the loan interest rate ceiling be maintained at the current level of 18 percent per annum. More detailed information regarding the results of the analysis is included in the attachment entitled “Supplemental Information and Interest Rate Statistics.”In 33 years at NCUA I served as Executive Director, Regional Director, Director of Special Actions, Supervisory Examiner, and Principal Examiner.

𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝘀 𝗔 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆...So I am pleased to see that NCUA has reduced the number of Priorities from 11 to 6!I will have much content coming here and on my podcast on these 6 priorities soon...but today I want to mention what "𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳𝗳" the priority list:𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗣𝗮𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀: (Odd that it fell off since they only recently hired the new specialists).𝗕𝗮𝗻𝗸 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘆 𝗔𝗰𝘁: Ironic that it falls off when they just added BSA Specialists to the Budget - thus making me believe these specialists are being added more to create a career path for staff than expand exams in this area - so that is good for credit unions.𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗱𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗰𝘆: This was new to the list last year due to the new rule. Credit union capital is strong and IRR and Liquidity are job 1 and 2 so I get the rationale here also.𝗖𝗘𝗖𝗟: Implementation is now required and with all the coverage on this topic I am surprised to say it is a non-event for my clients - another good move to take this off the priority list - but not so fast! They just moved it to Other Updates!𝗟𝗜𝗕𝗢𝗥: goodbye and good riddance!𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: They must have concluded this was more of a good growth trend than a bad growth trend - which also led them to propose changes to the rule to allow more of this down the road (December board proposal).They also snuck 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 into the "𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗨𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲" Category...so the decrease in priorities is actually smaller than it looks on the surface. More to follow from me on this topic soon.I can't end this post without listing the actual 2023 Priorities - which I will discuss in detail here and elsewhere soon:𝟭 𝗜𝗥𝗥𝟮 𝗟𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝟯 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸𝟰 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝟱 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆𝟲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴).

Rather than financing medical debt itself, the CUSO uncovers alternative debt expense reduction opportunities that help patients pay off their medical bills successfully without increasing monthly cash outlays or making painful sacrifices. By establishing a meaningful partnership between credit unions and healthcare providers, we will foster healthier, wealthier, and more equitable communities.The CUSO is fundamentally a healthcare facing company, so I have been lucky enough to recruit Paul Matsui who has over 20 years of experience working with healthcare providers to lead the organization. Most recently, Paul served as Chief Strategy Officer and Chief of Staff at Socially Determined a software and analytics company focused on elevating health equity and outcomes through the quantification and stratification of social risk.Previously, Paul spent 19 years at the Advisory Board (with my wife Megan Brownell) serving as Executive Director of its data analytics research and technology business, where he was accountable for developing a software ecosystem aimed at the firm's 2,000+ hospital and health system clients.Earlier in his career, Paul spent six years as an equity research analyst, covering a wide range of companies in the biotechnology, medical device, and medical technology supply sectors on behalf of Smith Barney Citi, Goldman Sachs, and U.S. Bancorp Investments, Inc. Piper Jaffray.Beginning his career as a bench scientist, Paul worked in labs at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Medical School. He holds an AB degree in biochemistry and molecular biology from Harvard University.If you are interested, we would like to schedule some time for Paul and I to present the opportunity to you and see if it something that your credit union would be interested in helping launch. What day and time would work best for you?

Certain areas, such as formal enforcement actions, prompt corrective action, and material supervisory determinations, would not be covered under the new rule.
