- League Notes Concerns With NCUA Plan to Collect Overdraft, NSF Info From Large CUs
February 6, 2024Following a speech today at the Brookings Institution, National Credit Union Administration Chairman Todd Harper announced that the agency will soon require credit unions with more than $1 billion in assets to report data on both overdraft and nonsufficient funds fees separately to the NCUA. Read our REGular blog post for insights. “Credit unions have a long track record when it comes to overdraft and nonsufficient fees,” said League Chief Advocacy Officer JT Blau. “Credit unions have responsible programs that provide members with a valued service at a reasonable cost. We know, too, that these services carry risk, require back-office effort on the part of credit unions, and can be a meaningful deterrent that keeps members out of financial trouble. This signal from the agency adds to the legislative and regulatory headwinds credit unions are fighting when it comes to non-interest income. We continue to advocate on this critical issue with the NCUA, CFPB, and with Congress.”
