About
About
Created by the U.S. Congress in 1970, the National Credit Union Administration is an independent federal agency that insures deposits at federally insured credit unions, protects the members who own credit unions, and charters and regulates federal credit unions.
Regulation & Supervision
Regulation & Supervision
The NCUA protects the safety and soundness of the credit union system by identifying, monitoring and reducing risks to the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund. Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the Share Insurance Fund provides up to $250,000 of federal share insurance to millions of account holders in all federal credit unions and the overwhelming majority of state-chartered credit unions.
Analysis
Analysis
The NCUA’s economists and analysts compile data on the credit union system’s financial performance, merger activity, changes in credit union chartering and fields of membership, as well as broader economic trends affecting credit unions. Users can find information on a single credit union or analyze broader nation-wide trends.
Support Services

The NCUA provides a number of support services to the credit union system, such as providing training, grants and loans, chartering, and field-of-membership services; maintaining the health and stability of Share Insurance Fund; managing the assets of failed credit unions; and providing emergency liquidity.
Consumers

Cybersecurity Resources
Cyberattacks and cybersecurity vulnerabilities pose significant risks to the financial system. Because of vulnerabilities within the credit union industry and the broader financial system to potential cyberattacks, cybersecurity is one of the NCUA’s top supervisory priorities and a top-tier risk under the agency’s enterprise risk-management program.

Supervisory Letter - Reincorporating Federal Credit Union Bylaws into NCUA Rules and Regulations

Dear Board of Directors,

The purpose of this Letter is to provide all Federal Credit Unions with the guidance sent to NCUA field staff regarding reincorporating Federal Credit Union Bylaws into the NCUA Rules and Regulations. The attached Supervisory Letter addresses the standards for NCUA involvement and dispute resolution in bylaw matters.

Effective November 30, 2007, NCUA reincorporated the Federal Credit Union Bylaws into the NCUA Rules and Regulations with the revision of Part 701. This action was taken to clarify NCUA’s authority to use a range of administrative actions to enforce bylaw violations in the rare cases where bylaw disputes cannot be resolved within the credit union.

If you have questions regarding the enclosed document, please contact your district examiner or regional office.

Sincerely,

/s/

JoAnn Johnson

Chairman
