FFIEC Proposes Biggest CAMELS Overhaul In 30 Years, Citing Need For Greater Transparency

  W ASHINGTON—The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council is seeking public comment on a proposed overhaul of the CAMELS supervisory ratings framework, marking what regulators said would be the first comprehensive revision of the bank and credit union examination system in approximately 30 years. Michelle Bowman The proposal would revise the Uniform Financial Institutions Rating System—better known as CAMELS—to place greater emphasis on material financial risk and improve the transparency and predictability of supervisory ratings. Regulators said the framework would continue to evaluate institutions on capital adequacy, asset quality, management, earnings, liquidity and sensitivity to market risk, while modifying certain composite and component rating definitions and evaluation factors. In announcing the proposal, FFIEC Chair and Federal Reserve Vice Chair for Supervision Michelle Bowman said the revised framework is intended to create “a decisive shift toward transpare...

The First Social Network

Credit Unions: The Original Social Network Long before likes, follows, shares, and friend requests, people built networks another way: They showed up for each other. That’s essentially how credit unions began. Not as financial corporations, but as human networks built on trust, shared experiences, and mutual support. In many ways, credit unions were the first true social networks. Before Technology Connected People, Communities Did Today’s social platforms promise connection. They help people share ideas, ask questions, organize communities, and support causes. But more than a century ago, credit unions were already doing something remarkably similar — only in person and with real financial stakes involved. Teachers gathered with teachers. Factory workers organized with coworkers. Church members helped fellow congregants. Military personnel supported military families. Firefighters stood beside fellow first responders. Police officers supported the communities and d...

Just Out! - NCUA Stablecoin Plan Opens Door To Credit Union-Backed Digital Dollar Issuers

ALEXANDRIA, Va.—A sweeping new NCUA proposal to implement the GENIUS Act could open the door for credit union-backed stablecoin issuance, but only through separately licensed subsidiaries operating under an extensive new federal regulatory framework that limits risks to the Share Insurance Fund. The 269-page supplemental proposed rule issued Friday lays out how “permitted payment stablecoin issuers” affiliated with federally insured credit unions would be supervised, examined and regulated by the NCUA, while also establishing rules covering reserves, liquidity, custody, operational risk, cybersecurity, anti-money laundering compliance and disclosure standards. The proposal supplements an earlier February 2026 proposal by the agency focused primarily on licensing and investments in stablecoin issuers. Federally insured credit unions themselves would still be prohibited from directly issuing payment stablecoins under the GENIUS Act. Instead, issuance would have to occur through a separa...

NAFCU - Vehicle Sales Decline During 2017

ARLINGTON, Va.—Vehicle sales in 2017 totaled 17.23 million units, non-seasonally adjusted, marking the first year-over-year sales decline since 2009. Total vehicle sales increased in December to 17.85 million seasonally adjusted, annualized units but were down 1.7% from a year ago. "Looking ahead, sales are expected to trend down further in 2018 as pent-up demand from earlier years diminishes," observed NAFCU Research Assistant Yun Cohen in a Macro Data Flash report. "In addition, banks are tightening standards on auto loans according to a recent survey by the Federal Reserve, which could lead to credit constraints. Despite the slowdown, vehicle sales are expected to remain strong in light of a strong labor market and growing economy." According to data by Autodata Corp., car sales decreased from 6.3 million to 6.1 million annualized units during the month. However, sales of light trucks increased from 11.2 million to 11.8 million annualized units, Cohen no...

Reactions To Historic NAFCU/CUNA Merger

By Ray Birch CUToday WASHINGTON–Just what will the proposed merger between CUNA and NAFCU mean to individual credit unions? A survey of CUToday.info of CEOs across the country has found generally neutral to positive reactions, with many taking a wait-and-see approach, but others having concerns over a lack of “checks and balances,” compensation paid to association executives, and fewer resources for smaller credit unions. The CUToday.info poll of CEOs on the question of having just one national trade association representing the nation’s 4,800 credit unions also found many see benefits from the consolidation, such as a stronger and more unified voice in Washington, greater efficiencies and potentially lower overall costs for membership. CUToday.info has made multiple attempts to get additional comment from CUNA and NAFCU beyond the statements issued earlier this week and asking for more details on the merger and what lies ahead, but both trade groups have declined comment...
