Unfortunately, as the years progressed, it became quite archaic for CUSO not to have the lending powers assist credit unions in all types of loans. And in October 2021, changes were made that expanded its activities and services. Helping you keep up to date with the latest on CUSO, Mark Treichel invites a guest who has been assisting credit unions in finding ways to collaboratively work with other credit unions and third-party services. In this episode, Brian Lauer of Messick Lauer & Smith P.C. helps untangle the knots made by the movements of CUSO and dives deep into the new CUSO regulation, CUSO trends, and why every credit union should consider investing in a CUSO. He also talks about it in relation to FinTech and cryptocurrency. Interested to learn more? Tune into this conversation!

NCUA makes it clear this is not regulatory relief and simply a budget saver. In this episode I talk about the missed opportunity for reg relief and whether or not this is really a budget saver (the devil is in the details).The NCUA Board approved final that amends the NCUA’s regulations to change the $10 billion asset threshold for assigning federally insured credit unions to the Office of National Examinations and Supervision (ONES).“With the rapid balance sheet growth across the credit union system since the onset of the pandemic, especially for the largest of credit unions, recalibrating the threshold was always a question of when, not if,” Chairman Harper said. “Approval of the final rule is a significant acknowledgement of the industry’s ongoing maturation and the evolving role the NCUA plays in supervising and insuring our nation’s largest credit unions. This change provides for new development opportunities for examiners, providing a smoother transition for consumer credit unions that will eventually transfer to ONES’ supervision, and enhancing knowledge sharing and expertise between ONES and regional staff.”Effective January 1, 2023, credit unions with assets between $10 billion and $15 billion will be supervised by their appropriate Regional Office. All credit unions above $10 billion in assets currently supervised by ONES will continue to be supervised by that office under the final rule. Credit unions that cross the $15 billion threshold will by supervised by ONES. The proposed rule does not alter any other regulatory requirements for credit unions covered under these regulations.ONES began operations in 2013 and oversees the largest and most complex credit unions in the credit union system. It also supervises the corporate credit union system.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj7kUqbc2o4&t=3938swww.marktreichel.com
