Coming Call Report Changes for Large CUs On Overdraft, NSF Income Reporting: What You Need to Know

We continue to field questions from credit unions about NCUA having amended the Call Report to require large credit unions (in this case meaning more than $1 billion in total assets) to report income from overdraft fees and NSF fees. That reporting requirement begins with the first quarter 2024 Call Report.

"Credit unions are strongly encouraged to review this requirement and assess the degree to which this reporting might pose a reputational risk for the institution," said League Chief Advocacy Officer JT Blau.

Your League continues to urge lawmakers to avoid a federal government shutdown, as even partial ones would have an outsized impact on our regional economy.
