By removing these requirements, the Board is authorizing federally insured credit unions (FICUs) acting as sureties and guarantors to design products that address member needs while maintaining safety and soundness standards. Federal credit unions (FCUs), and federally insured, state-chartered credit unions (FISCUs) if permitted under state law to act as a surety or guarantor, continue to be subject to other requirements related to these arrangements, including the applicable lending regulations. The final rule follows publication of the December 29, 2025, proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received.
