Title 12 › CHAPTER 14 — FEDERAL CREDIT UNIONS › SUBCHAPTER III — CENTRAL LIQUIDITY FACILITY › § 1795e
Members can apply to the Facility for credit when they need cash. The Board must approve or deny the request within five working days. The Board cannot approve loans whose purpose is to expand a credit union’s loan portfolio. The Board may set terms after checking creditworthiness. If a credit union’s accounts are insured by a State guaranty, the Board must talk with that State insurer before advancing funds for that credit union. The Secretary of the Treasury may lend up to $500,000,000 to the Facility if the Board certifies it lacks funds. The loan’s interest rate cannot be more than one-eighth of 1 percent above the current average market yield on U.S. obligations with similar remaining maturity. Such lending is limited to the amounts and conditions provided in advance in appropriation Acts.
