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.

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. By removing these requirements, the Board is authorizing federally insured credit unions (FICUs) acting as sureties and guarantors to design products that address member needs while maintaining safety and soundness standards. 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.
