As credit unions grow larger and more complex, the regulatory framework must keep pace to maintain the strength and stability of the entire credit union system. In our rulemaking, NCUA strives to respond to these changes and address emerging risk.
We also strive to reduce the regulatory burden, where appropriate, and provide credit unions with more flexibility to manage their operations, reduce administrative hurdles and allow credit unions to better compete in the financial services marketplace.
The Federal Credit Union Act also is the source of authority for all federally chartered credit unions and governs the coverage and terms of insured accounts at all federally insured credit unions. More
