  • Conversion of Credit Union Charter to Mutual Savings Bank Charter: Current Legal Process and Congressional Response Name Redacted Legislative Attorney
    Conversion of Credit Union Charter to Mutual Savings Bank Charter: Current Legal Process and Congressional Response name redacted Legislative Attorney December 21, 2006 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov RS22364 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Conversion of Credit Union Charter to Mutual Savings Bank Charter Summary There are several statutory requirements imposed by the Credit Union Membership Access Act (CUMAA) for converting a federal credit union to a mutual savings bank. In addition, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), the federal agency that charters and supervises federal credit unions, has issued regulations requiring significant disclosures by a federal credit union attempting to convert its charter to a mutual savings bank. Some of these disclosures are considered by critics to be speculative in nature, such as whether the directors of the converted institution intend later to convert to a stock-issuing entity, thereby possibly enriching themselves. Others believe that this kind of information is at the heart of the conversion process and should be disclosed. H.R. 3206, 109th Congress, was introduced to limit the kinds of disclosures required, in particular disclosures of a speculative nature. On May 11, 2006, the House Committee on Financial Services, Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit held hearings on the bill. On December 14, 2006, the NCUA approved final rules governing conversions of credit unions to mutual savings banks or mutual savings associations. This report will be updated as needed. Congressional Research Service Conversion of Credit Union Charter to Mutual Savings Bank Charter ection 202 of the Credit Union Membership Access Act (CUMAA)1 amended the provision of the Federal Credit Union Act2 concerning conversion3 of insured federal credit unions4 to S mutual savings banks.5 This 1998 amendment added subsection (b)(2) to 12 U.S.C.

Abstract: This study conducts a cross-sectional analysis of 175 depository institutions, assessing the impact on the interest rates charged on loan products and offered on savings products by the size of the institution, its liquidity, its net worth, its tax and salary payments, and its status as a for-profit institution, a credit union, or a converted credit union. We find that banks and converted credit unions have interest rates significantly less favorable for consumers than credit unions, suggesting that a credit union converting will result in adverse interest rate movements for its customers. Field Code: G2 1 DRAFT: PLEASE DO NOT CITE WITHOUT AUTHORS PERMISSION, Feb 13, 2006 1. INTRODUCTION In a recent directive, the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) proposed that a converting credit union include the following disclosures in each written communication it sends members regarding conversion: “Credit union directors and committee members serve on a volunteer basis. Directors of a mutual savings bank are compensated. Credit unions are exempt from federal tax and most state taxes.
