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.

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.

Implementing the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act for the Issuance of Stablecoins by Entities Subject to the Jurisdiction of the National Credit Union Administration

The NCUA Board (Board) is seeking comment on proposed regulations to implement portions of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act). The GENIUS Act charges the NCUA with licensing, regulating, and supervising Payment Stablecoin issuers that are subsidiaries of federally insured credit unions (FICU subsidiaries). In February 2026, the NCUA issued proposed regulations to govern investments in and licensing of permitted payment stablecoin issuers subject to the NCUA's jurisdiction. This current proposal supplements the previous proposal and would govern the issuance of Payment Stablecoins and certain related activities by entities subject to the NCUA's jurisdiction. This proposal would also make amendments to address share insurance coverage, tokenized shares, and other conforming and clarifying amendments.

Requirements for Insurance

The NCUA Board (Board) is publishing this proposed rule to amend its regulations governing requirements for share insurance. This proposed rule would eliminate numerous provisions that merely point to substantive provisions codified elsewhere in the NCUA's regulations. The intended effect is to simplify the regulatory text and make it easier to navigate without altering the compliance obligations of federally insured credit unions. The Board believes this action is necessary to streamline the agency's regulations and reduce regulatory complexity.

Purchase, Sale, and Pledge of Eligible Obligations

The NCUA Board (Board) solicits public comment on a proposal to streamline its regulations governing the purchase, sale, and pledge of eligible obligations. The Board proposes to remove the prescriptive lists of items that must be addressed in the written policies adopted by a federal credit union (FCU). Although FCUs would still be required to maintain written policies, removing the mandated items will enable a more efficient and principles-based approach. The Board also proposes to remove detailed requirements regarding conflicts of interest and compensation. These regulatory provisions are unnecessary since FCUs are already governed by broader conflict of interest provisions in their bylaws and by the fiduciary duties of their officials.

Dependent Care and Board Member Expense Reimbursement

The NCUA Board is amending its regulations concerning the reimbursement of reasonable expenses for federal credit union (FCU) officials. The amendment revises the definition of compensation to exclude dependent care costs incurred by volunteer officials while attending board meetings and performing official credit union duties. By recognizing these costs as reimbursable, the NCUA Board is authorizing FCUs to remove a potential barrier to volunteer service for persons with dependent care responsibilities. The final rule also provides flexibility for FCU boards to adopt more family-friendly policies tailored to their size, region, and operations. The final rule follows publication of the January 26, 2026, proposed rule, and takes into consideration the public comments received.
