NCUA proposes eased TDR reporting | NAFCU

The rule would allow credit unions to report TDRs based on their original contract terms, removing the current requirement that TDRs are reported as delinquent for six months based on the original contract terms. In addition, credit unions will not need to maintain TDRs in nonaccrual status until they receive six consecutive payments. NAFCU has persistently sought for some time to mitigate the burden that each of these two current requirement pose for credit unions. **** Read More At; NCUA proposes eased TDR reporting NAFCU

Crews Shares Vision For NCUA, Refuses To Enter Board Battle

By Ray Birch WASHINGTON—NCUA nominee John Crews used his Senate Banking Committee confirmation hearing Thursday to lay out an agenda centered on reducing regulatory burden for smaller credit unions, encouraging technological innovation and reviving the formation of new credit unions, while declining to weigh in on the legality of the NCUA's current one-member board because of pending litigation. Although much of the hearing was dominated by sharp questioning of fellow nominee Christopher Phelan over the economy, inflation, tax policy and President Trump's agenda, Crews' exchanges with senators offered insights into how he might approach regulating the credit union system if confirmed. The hearing proceeded despite questions on Capitol Hill over whether it would even take place following Wednesday's political turmoil surrounding President Trump's demand that Congress pass the SAVE America Act before he signs bipartisan housing legislation and the Senate's decisio...

DC Round-Up

  HUD Makes ACU-Requested Change; Hearing on Payments Today; CU-Backed Candidate Wins in Utah WASHINGTON–The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has updated Federal Housing Administration (FHA) quality control requirements to allow greater flexibility and alternatives to appraisal field reviews in a change that had been requested earlier by a coalition of 10 trade groups, including America’s Credit Unions .  The new provisions took effect immediately when released in a Mortgagee Letter on June 23, . According to ACU, the change removes the requirement for mortgage lenders, including credit unions, to obtain appraisal field reviews on at least 10% of origination and underwriting quality control reviews.  “The change will make field reviews optional for appraisal quality control, maintain FHA’s core appraisal compliance framework, and give lenders the ability to tailor their review methods on a case-by-case-specific risk,” America’s Credit Unions said. “The r...

Healthcare Fraud Sweep

  The Justice Department has charged 455 defendants across 45 states and US territories in a $6.5B healthcare fraud crackdown , which officials described as the largest coordinated enforcement action in its history and the second-largest amount ever charged in a single operation (behind last year’s $14.6B operation).

Facial recognition to secure payments will exceed 1.4 billion globally by 2025

BASINGSTOKE, U.K.– The number of users of software-based facial recognition to secure payments will exceed 1.4 billion globally by 2025, from just 671 million in 2020, according to a new study from Juniper Research. “This rapid growth of 120% demonstrates how widespread facial recognition has become; fueled by its low barriers to entry, a front-facing camera and appropriate software,” Juniper said, noting the research identified the implementation of FaceID by Apple as accelerating the growth of the wider facial recognition market, despite the challenges to facial recognition during the pandemic with face mask use. The research recommends that facial recognition vendors implement robust and rapidly evolving AI based verification checks to ensure the validity of user identity, or risk losing user trust in the authentication method as spoofing attempts increase, Juniper reported.

AI Rapidly Reshaping How Consumers Discover, Compare & Choose Banking Products (But Trust Remains an Issue)

  Frank Diekmann May 26, 2026 SYDNEY — Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how consumers discover, compare and select banking products, forcing financial institutions to rethink their digital marketing and customer acquisition strategies, according to a new report from Bain & Company .  The report, titled “How AI Rewrites the Rules of Brand Discoverability in Banking,” found that AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Google Gemini are increasingly acting as the first point of contact between consumers and banks, particularly in Australia, where consumers are using the technology to evaluate products, interpret fees and even prepare applications for loans and credit cards.  According to Bain & Company, the traditional banking sales funnel — once driven by branches, brokers, advertising and search engine rankings — is rapidly shifting toward AI-generated recommendations and responses. ‘Increasingly Influencing Choice’ “AI assistants increasingly influen...

47-Second Loan Décisions. Underwriting in Minutes. How AI is Revolutionizing Turnaround Time in Mortgage Lending

May 27, 2026 CU Today TORONTO–While AI has been deployed across a host of back office functions, on the consumer-facing side its promise is increasingly being seen in mortgage lending, where lenders are promising mortgage approval decisions in as little as 47 seconds, reporting that up to a third of inquiries are now being handled by chatbots, and slashing underwriting time to just minutes. Toronto-based TD Bank Group said it has also deployed its first agentic artificial intelligence system in mortgage lending, reducing the time required to prepare applications for underwriting from an average of roughly 15 hours to less than three minutes. According to a statement from TD Bank, the new AI model automates mortgage pre-adjudication — the process that occurs before a human underwriter reviews an application. The bank said the system classifies borrower documents, extracts and validates financial information, calculates income, performs policy and consent checks, identifies discrepancie...
