Investment in Exchangeable Collateralized Mortgage Obligations

The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) proposes to amend its regulations regarding investment in collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). Currently, NCUA regulations prohibit federal credit unions (FCUs) and certain corporate credit unions from investing in stripped mortgage backed securities (SMBS) and exchangeable CMOs that represent interests in one or more SMBS. NCUA has safety and soundness concerns with direct investment in SMBS, but recognizes that some exchangeable CMOs representing interests in one or more SMBS may be safe investments for credit unions. This proposed rule will authorize all FCUs and corporate credit unions to invest in exchangeable CMOs representing interests in one or more SMBS subject to certain safety and soundness limitations. This proposed rule also contains miscellaneous technical corrections and clarifying amendments to NCUA's Investment and Deposit Activities rule and Corporate Credit Unions rule.

Chartering and Field of Membership for Federal Credit Unions-Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement 10-1

The NCUA Board (Board) is rescinding Interpretive Ruling and Policy Statement (IRPS) 10-1. The Chartering and Field of Membership Manual (Chartering Manual) incorporates NCUA's current chartering requirements for federal credit unions (FCUs), making IRPS 10-1 unnecessary. This rescission reduces the burden for FCUs by limiting the number of sources that they must check to verify compliance with applicable requirements. After considering the public comments, the Board adopts the proposal without modification.

Suretyship and Guaranty; Segregated Deposit and Collateral

The NCUA Board (Board) is amending its regulations to eliminate prescriptive segregated deposit and collateral requirements for suretyship and guaranty agreements.

Federal credit unions (FCUs), and federally insured, state-chartered credit unions (FISCUs) if permitted under state law to act as a surety or guarantor, continue to be subject to other requirements related to these arrangements, including the applicable lending regulations. The final rule follows publication of the December 29, 2025, proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received.
