2026-16031, Chartering and Field of Membership for Federal Credit Unions-Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement 08-2
The NCUA is saying goodbye to an old rule called IRPS 08-2 because its key points are now part of the main Chartering Manual.

2026-16029, Third-Party Servicing of Indirect Vehicle Loans
The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing a final rule removing NCUA's unnecessarily prescriptive regulation regarding third-party servicing of indirect vehicle loans. This action will reduce regulatory burden and provide federally insured credit unions (FICUs) with greater operational flexibility, consistent with a principles-based supervisory approach. The intent is to reduce administrative costs and compliance complexity, enabling credit unions to serve their members more efficiently.
2026-16027, Suretyship and Guaranty; Segregated Deposit and Collateral
The NCUA Board (Board) is amending its regulations to eliminate prescriptive segregated deposit and collateral requirements for suretyship and guaranty agreements. 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.

The new rule kicks in on September 8, 2026, helping credit unions save time without changing how they protect members' money.
2026-16022, Corporate Credit Unions
The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing this action to rescind its Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 11-02, which addresses chartering corporate credit unions, because it is redundant to the Federal Corporate Credit Union Chartering Manual. This action eliminates potential confusion.
