12 U.S.C. § 1795d: Capital stock

Summary

The Board must open books for people to buy capital stock in the Facility as soon as possible. The smallest purchase is $50 and each share has a $50 value. Shares must be paid for in cash or in U.S. government or agency securities if the Board allows. The Board decides dividend rates and required stock gets no special priority. Shares can’t be sold or used as loan collateral except as allowed by law. If the Facility must redeem stock, it pays back what the member originally paid minus any debt the member owes. At least one-half of a member’s subscription payment must go to the Facility. The rest may stay with the member but can be called by the Board and invested in assets the Board chooses. A credit union or credit union group that joins more than six months after the books open cannot borrow from the Facility for six months after joining unless the Board approves.
