Overview
On Nov. 21, 2013, NCUA amended federal rules and regulations related to credit union service organizations, commonly known as CUSOs.

NCUA’s Commitment to the Security of CUSO Data
The Freedom of Information Act and NCUA’s FOIA regulations, as well as the applicable exemptions, apply to the information a CUSO submits to NCUA. NCUA anticipates that a CUSO may submit information that includes trade secrets and privileged or confidential commercial or financial information. We are committed to securing this data as required by FOIA, and will not release such information to the public NCUA will share CUSO information with state supervisory authorities that have signed information-sharing agreements with the agency.
