NCUA Seeks Comments on Credit Union Paperwork Rules
Published Date: 7/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) is asking for public comments as it renews important paperwork rules for credit unions. These rules help make sure credit unions clearly share info about extra insurance and low-income member status. If you’re involved with a credit union, your feedback by September 14, 2026, can help shape these rules without adding extra costs or hassle.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Required account fee and APY disclosures
Credit unions must provide specific Truth in Savings disclosures when an account is opened, when a disclosed term changes or a term account is near renewal, on periodic statements, in advertisements, and upon a member's or prospective member's request. Periodic statements must show fees imposed, the annual percentage yield (APY) earned during those statement periods, and other account terms (12 CFR part 707). The estimated total annual burden hours for this collection is 298,563.
Mortgage lending data remains public
Credit unions will continue to collect and report Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA) loan data so the public can see whether institutions serve local housing needs, public officials can target public-sector investments to attract private investment, and possible discriminatory lending patterns can be identified and enforced against. The estimated total annual burden hours for this collection is 145,886 (12 CFR 1003).
Clear ads for excess insurance
If your credit union offers excess account insurance, its advertising that mentions account insurance must state the type and amount of the excess insurance, the name of the insurance carrier, and that the carrier is not affiliated with the NCUSIF or the Federal Government (per 12 CFR 740.3).

Starting June 30, 2026, federal credit unions can charge fees like interchange fees on credit and debit cards, even if set with help from others.

2026-17307, Interagency Rescission of the Interagency Statement on Special Purpose Credit Programs Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B
FDIC, NCUA, OCC, CFPB, HUD, DOJ, and FHFA (collectively, the agencies) are issuing this notice to inform the public of the rescission of the "Interagency Statement on Special Purpose Credit Programs Under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B" (Interagency Statement), dated February 22, 2022. The agencies are rescinding the Interagency Statement to make clear that (1) creditors may not discriminate against borrowers based on prohibited characteristics and (2) creditors should not rely upon the Interagency Statement or other related issuances going forward.
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.
2026-16030, Purchase, Sale, and Pledge Of Eligible Obligations
The National Credit Union Administration is making it easier for federal credit unions to handle buying, selling, and pledging loans by cutting out strict rules on what their policies must include. This change lets credit unions be more flexible and efficient while still following important conflict-of-interest rules already in place. The new rule kicks in on September 8, 2026, helping credit unions save time without changing how they protect members' money.
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.
2026-16031, 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. This change makes life easier for federal credit unions by cutting down on the paperwork and checks they need to do. The new rule kicks in on September 8, 2026, helping credit unions serve their communities faster without extra hassle.
