NCUA created the Office of Corporate Credit Unions (OCCU) in 1994 to centralize the supervision of the corporate credit union system through its headquarters in Alexandria, VA. Corporate credit unions are the “credit unions’ credit union.” Individual consumers cannot join a corporate credit union. The “natural person credit unions” that serve individual consumers as their members receive liquidity, investment, and payment services from corporate credit unions. There are 28 corporate credit unions that range in asset size from $5 million to $40 billion.
