Comments Mostly Support NCUA’s Risk-Based Net Worth Rule
National Credit Union Administration Chairman Todd Harper thinks the proposed rule is “half-baked” but credit union trade groups are endorsing a proposal to increase the threshold for credit unions to be defined as “complex.” The proposed rule states that any risk-based net worth requirement would only apply if a credit union has more than $500 million in assets at a quarter’s end. The definition impacts the effect of the Risk-Based Capital Rule that goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2022.
