Purchase, Sale, and Pledge Of Eligible Obligations

This final rule streamlines the NCUA Board (Board)'s regulations governing the purchase, sale, and pledge of eligible obligations. Specifically, the final rule removes the prescriptive lists of items that must be addressed in the written policies adopted by a federal credit union (FCU). Removal of the mandated items will enable a more efficient and principles-based approach. The final rule also removes detailed requirements regarding conflicts of interest and compensation. These regulatory provisions are unnecessary because FCUs are already governed by broader conflict of interest provisions in their bylaws and by the fiduciary duties of their officials. The final rule follows publication of a February 25, 2026, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments received on the proposal. After careful consideration of the comments, the Board has decided to adopt the proposed rule without change.

Compensation in Connection With Loans to Members and Lines of Credit to Members

The NCUA Board (Board) is issuing for public comment a proposal to amend the NCUA's regulation that limits a federally insured credit union (FICU) official and employee compensation in connection with loans to members and lines of credit to members. These regulations have generated confusion and are unduly restrictive. To provide clearer and more flexible standards, the proposed rule would expressly permit incentive and bonuses to employees, including senior management, to incorporate lending metrics as part of compensation based on a credit union's overall financial performance.
